12 Days: Chad Montgomery in Blood Rage


'Some things never rest in piece.'


FH viewers know how much I love  to feature holiday related films.  I especially love when a family holiday is blasted into a horror film.  Although I chose to feature The Oath on Thanksgiving Day, I couldn't let this little Thanksgiving gem go without a post.


1987's Blood Rage, (Nightmare at Shadow Woods) begins with a scene of two twin brothers in the back seat of a car a drive-in.  As they go exploring, one of the brothers kills a man having sex in his car, and goes on to accuse his twin of the murder. The innocent brother ends up institutionalized, while his psychotic twin goes free.

10 years later the now-adult Terry, (Mark Soper) lives happily with his mother, (Louise Lasser) in a sprawling but secluded apartment complex named Shadow Woods. On Thanksgiving Day, Terry's long dormant murderous rage is revived when his mother gets engaged to her fiancĂ© Brad, who owns the complex. Terry also learns that twin brother Todd, whom he framed for murder a decade earlier, has escaped from his mental hospital and may be heading home. 


Terry murders Brad by chopping his right hand off with a machete before splitting his head. He plans on again framing twin brother Todd.  Also on Terry's chopping list, is the hot jock Gregg, (Chad Montgomery) who like Terry's original victim, gets the axe after a session of sex on swimming pool diving board. 


The film is campy eighties horror at it's finest, and Soper and Lasser put in perfectly over-the-top performances. The director doesn't hide the obvious phallic comparison of Terry's weapon of choice.  


Chad Montgomery is incredibly hot, and although you don't really see too much, a brief flash of skin in a horror film is always welcome and the side view of his body and butt in the nude scene was a pleasant site.  Sadly, I don't know much more about the handsome actor, he has only three films on IMDB, with Blood Rage his first, and most well known credit.
