“I’m pissed off and the whole world owes me.”

We’re taking a look at one of the all-time best cult classics on this week’s episode of The Blind Rage Podcast!

In FREEWAY, Matthew Bright’s delightfully twisted reinterpretation of “Little Red Riding Hood,” we’re introduced to Vanessa Lutz (Reese Witherspoon in one of her best roles), a teenage felon from the wrong side of the tracks. After her mother (Amanda Plummer) is arrested for prostitution, Vanessa decides she’s going to start over by relocating to her grandmother’s trailer in upstate California. On the freeway, her car breaks down, but she is quickly rescued by Bob Woverton (Kiefer Sutherland), a social worker who aids troubled juveniles and portrays himself as her savior.

After a long line of manipulative questions meant to let Vanessa drop her guard, Bob reveals his true identity. He is actually a razor-wielding predator known as The I-5 Killer, and his preferred victims are young girls just like Vanessa.

The Blind Rage Podcast is once again returning to the land down under for the 2000 slasher CUT, starring ‘80s teen icon Molly Ringwald and pop royalty Kylie Minogue.

It’s 1988 and during the making of a Z-grade horror movie, the actor playing the killer slaughters the director after being fired for his sheer ineptitude. He then sets his sights on the final girl, but she’s able to escape. Twelve years later, a group of students decide to finish the film, which was abandoned after the behind-the-scenes butchery.

Unfortunately, whenever a completion of the project is attempted, things come to an abrupt and gruesome end, as an unidentified killer picks off the cast and crew. Will the class of amateur filmmakers finally finish the cursed slice of celluloid, or will they meet the same fate as their predecessors?

The Blind Rage Podcast once again returns to the world of university elite with the 1986 cult classic KILLER PARTY!

Phoebe, Jennifer, and Vivia are best friends and sorority pledges willing to do anything to join Sigma Alpha Pi, one of the most popular houses on campus. They endure paddlings, public humiliation, and endless pranks, though nothing prepares them for the horrors of an April Fool’s Day masquerade party. The festivities are set for an abandoned frat house, where a fraternity pledge died during an initiation 20 years before.

Unbeknownst to the partygoers, his demonic spirit still lingers.

And he doesn’t like visitors.

I don’t think The Blind Rage Podcast has seen such blood and guts since Herschell Gordon Lewis month…

This week, we’re taking a look at James Riffel’s THE HOUSE ON TOMBSTONE HILL, a hidden gem about a group of five twentysomethings who arrive at a massive estate in the middle of nowhere intending to fix it up. The moment they pass the threshold, they discover they’ve got their work cut out for them. Not only is the place in an extreme state of disrepair, there’s a murderous old woman lurking the corridors.

With echoes of THE EVIL DEAD and early Peter Jackson, TOMBSTONE HILL is a fun and ultra bloody good time that is sadly more overlooked than it is appreciated.

If ever there was a poster child for vasectomies, it’s Mikey.

This week, The Blind Rage Podcast takes a look at one of the more notorious offerings in horror’s killer kid subgenre. MIKEY stars Brian Bonsall (“Family Ties”) as a child abused by his birth parents. Now, he’s desperate to find the perfect maternal and paternal figures. When his adoptive family disappoints him. Mikey is left with no choice but to clean the slate and start again.

A resourceful little psychopath, he utilizes implements like aluminum baseball bats, bows and arrows, and electrocution to eliminate his victims. Banned in the UK due to its violent content, MIKEY is one of the more controversial straight-to-video horror/thrillers of the early ‘90s.

“I don’t think you’re alone in this house… You should get out of there. Now.”

For the second week of 2025, The Blind Rage Podcast takes a look at Fred Walton’s sequel to his 1979 classic. In WHEN A STRANGER CALLS BACK, we’re introduced to Julia (Jill Schoelen), a babysitter who is menaced by a voice on the other side of the door, as opposed to the other end of the phone. A man claims to have had a breakdown and requests aid. It isn’t long, however, before Julia realizes just how dangerous this particular stranger actually is.

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE BLIND RAGE PODCAST!!!

We’re kicking off 2025 with 1979’s WHEN A STRANGER CALLS, a film which has been terrifying audiences for decades with it’s portrayal of a babysitter (Carol Kane) who receives menacing phone calls from a psychopath who is a lot closer than she thinks. Though she manages to escape, he re-enters her life seven years later, now putting her new family in harm’s way.

The Blind Rage Podcast is ending 2024, and DeCoteau DeCember, with a film that barely qualifies as such.

BEASTLY BOYZ is an experiment in alternative filmmaking, though it doesn’t veer from David’s familiar style very far. Shot without sound, zero dialogue (we have only a slight bit of narration meant to let the viewer in on the intended story), and a plot that is so wafer-thin the script was a grand total of 9 pages, it’s more an exercise in perseverance than anything else. BEASTLY BOYS may only clock 73 minutes of actual material, it feels at least three times as long. Within the first few frames, it’s pretty clear that it’s going to be an absolute chore to get through.

Thankfully, there were some behind-the-scenes anecdotes to discuss (all of them more interesting than the movie itself) and a little bit of this and that to help us get through the episode without much pain.
