“For some reason, there arenu0026#39;t all that many Thanksgiving-themed slasher flicks, but Blood Rage will definitely quench oneu0026#39;s thirst for a decent one. Itu0026#39;s easily the best out of the ones that are available (certainly way better than Home Sweet Home).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story is full of twists, mistaken identities, drunken mothers, evil twins, and a whole lot of delicious soap operatics sprinkled in between a series of remarkably bloody and brutal murder set pieces. The acting, besides an inspired (and strange) turn by Louise Lasser, is mostly decent if unmemorable. The real star here is the special makeup effects which range from cheesy to disturbingly realistic.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe pacing can drag a bit here and there, but slasher and camp lovers should be more than satisfied with this one. The Arrow Blu-Ray release is the best way to go. The movie has never looked so good (and probably never will.)”
