Unhinged (1982)

My rating 4.5/10

(click on images below for larger versions)

On they're way to a rock concert three young women are involved in a car accident. they awake in an old house owned by a man hating mother and daughter. The girls quickly discover a dark secret that put's their lives in danger.

Another movie that somehow found itself banned as a video nasty here in the UK but to this day I don't think anyone's figured out why. The acting is pretty poor from everyone, it's often far to dark to see what the hells going on, the dialogue is not very interesting and it'll be far too slow moving for most people.

Despite all that though, I actually have a bit of a soft spot for it and I know I'm the minority there. I've always found this to be atmospheric and on occasions quite creepy. The gore is decent even if there's very little of it. A quite nasty death by scythe and an axe in the head being the only two main kills we see much of. The "twist" ending you'll probably see coming a mile off and yet it still works quite well.

Go into this one with very low expectations and you'll probably find an okay little slasher waiting for you if you can manage to get thorugh some very dialogue heavy scenes.
