Skinopsis

Prepare to bathe in the low-fi, murky video thrills of Sledgehammer. Step right up and feel the overpowering synth soundtrack wash all over you and take you to '80s town. Let the mind-splittingly incoherent chilss run down your spine. And even take a moment to enjoy the one sweet moment of gratuitous nudity (featuring the hottest chick in the cast, a blonde, showing off one of her delicious boobs). Yes, if you're less concerned with things like production quality and plot and more concerned with sublimely stupid exploitation horror thrills, then this movie just might be your Citizen Kane. You will be drawn to the power of this OG shot-on-video shocker and you will want it to happen again and again and again. Certainly not for everyone, but those who it is for ('80s horror junkies, ironic art appreciators, trash cinemaphiles, cult movie fans in general) will lap it up like chocolate fondue laced with crack. See below for official synopsis.

Intervision is proud to present the return of the first shot-on-tape slasher movie for the home video market as well as one of the rarest genre films of all! The plot is familiar: A group of friends comes to party at a backwoods house where a legacy of brutality awaits. But within this minimalist '80s mélange of food fights, feathered hair and abusive slow-motion lurks a relentless synth score, bizarre sexual subtexts and a disturbing shape-shifting behemoth killer. The result is 85 minutes of fever-dream depravity, now loaded with brand-new Bonus Features that put it all in skull-shattering perspective. Former Playgirl centerfold Ted Prior (Raw Nerve, Deadly Prey) stars in this nightmare-logic shocker from writer/director David A. Prior (Killer Workout) where the lines between twisted horror and historic gore are pounded to a pulp...by Sledgehammer.
