Sledgehammer
Directed by David A. Prior
David A. Prior's pioneering horror of the SOV (shot-on-video) era sees a group of friends 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. SLEDGEHAMMER is a cult epic and an experience unlike any other.
A shape-shifting behemoth kille stalks partying friends in this bizarre pioneer of shot-on-video horror.
Cast: Ted Prior, Linda McGill, John Eastman, Janine Scheer, Tim Aguilar

The best part of this movie is the opening title song. Once that is over, remember you are watching a SOV film. It is not the worst movie, but does have some of the worst acting. Some scenes are painful to watch. Not due to gore, but to the acting. Also, "shape-shifting behemoth?" C'mon. That's a lie. Worth a watch, but do not expect much.
THIS SHIT ASS
An admirably overambitious mess that's well worth it if you're a fan of DIY 80's horror. Sets up like a typical slasher of its time but toys with some decent supernatural twists. Kind of feels like a theatre stage production at time. A bit of a slog but worth it as an indie relic.
This movie is TERRIBLE! However if you watch the Joe Bob Last Drive In version of this, then it makes watching this totally worth it. I recommend watching the last drive in version versus watching the standalone movie
