Happy Thanksgiving to you too!!
You too
@@kevinriley6320 Nice!
As a gay horror fan, I appreciate your comments. 👍🏼
I used to run a video store in the late 80s and the only reason I knew about this movie is because my distributor swore it was good and gave us a free copy. (remember, VHS were $80-90 back then). I made sure my store had a huge horror section, so yeah, gays love horror too. Lol
Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for the consistently great content.
My pleasure brother. It's nice to see gay people portrayed in a positive light way back in the early 80s.
I watch a great horror movie that is called grotesque that was released in the late of 1980s I wish could forgot it to rewatch it, really some horror movies are pretty underrated!
It's always great to see Bill Paxton in a flick. But this movie is fantastic. I saw it for the first time last year and couldn't believe I've never heard of it before.
Glad you enjoyed this one bro.
Truth brother. I watched it 3 times already, thanks to Shudder.
70`s early 80`s horror movies is the best!!! Happy Thanksgiving Lee
Agreed Paul!
It’s always a good day when you post a new video Lee ❤
Thank you Stephon. Feels like it's been a while since I uploaded classic reviews. Expect much more coming soon.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Your very welcome and have an amazing Thanksgiving tomorrow and pig out! 😆🦃
I just recently watched this a few months ago for the first time! It is a wild ride lol awesome to hear your thoughts on it.
Wild is right!
I remember reading the book and then watching the movie when this came out in ’81. Loved both. Thanks for giving this forgotten gem some attention!
finally got around to seeing this massively underrated gem. Way ahead of its time yet still a product of its time.
Yeah I love this one!
This is a zany film. I liked it. Nice to see you review it. Happy Thanksgiving Lee.
Happy Thanksgiving Karen. And the title kind of fits the holiday haha. Fancy that.
I really want to see it, your review is awesome!
Thanks Lucas! Hope you're doing well.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews ohhh I am, always having fun on KF!!!!!!! How are you and the family???
@@LucasFerreira-ep3pl We're good man. Happy to hear you're doing well.
Excellent Review Lee. I need to find more of your slasher reviews and write them down in my letterboxed watchlist.
Check out my slashers playlist and my deep cuts playlist. Both are essential.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews thanks Lee. I Will do that most definitely 👍
Suuuup man! Jason Reese here! HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
What's up Jason!
Love this review! Ty West's House of the Devil did a great job recreating that 70's 80's feel!
Absolutely it did. I reviewed that one a few months ago. Also check out A Wounded Fawn for that feel.
Just discovered this gem while watching another review.. checked it out and I have to say I’m impressed. Thanks for the review bro 🫡💯
Yeah this was a delight!
I love this movie! More 70's and 80's horror movie reviews, Lee! Final Destination ripped off that log scene. Susan Tyrell is in a lot of cool movies, including Angel and Crybaby.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Lee! 🦃
Happy thanksgiving Mikey!
Great Review Mr. Lee
I Just First Time Watched This
This Past Halloween
It’s A Fun & Wacky Little Slasher Movie
I Would Definitely Watch This Again
Seems like a lot of people discovered this one over the past year since it came to Shudder Polly.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Oh Yeah For Sure Mr. Lee
I Know For Me Personally
I Have Discovered A Lot Of Early 80’s Gems
Thanks To Shudder
Hey Drumdums. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!😊❤️🧡💛🎈🦃🍗🥧😋🙏.
Happy Thanksgiving to you Josh!
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Thanks❤️🧡💛😊🙏.
Always love your content, you’re the man when it comes to horror
Thank you Vinnie!
kind of late to the party on this review because i just watched this last night and i freaking loved it. all the actors were great and threw themselves into their roles. i didn't know this was a video nasty when it was released.
I'm so glad you did a review on this movie! I was actually looking to see if you did a review on it a few weeks ago so it was a nice Thanksgiving surprise to see that you now did a review on it. I hadn't realized the coach was dating the TV repairman either.
Awesome! Glad I finally covered it.
I love this movie. I'm surprised I saw it before you did. Thank you for the review, Drumdums.
Thanks for watching!
This is one of my favorites! Highly recommend!!!!
1981 was such a great year for horror movies. I have to check this film out. It definitely is an overlooked gem. This was another good review Lee. 🎬🎫🎟️🎞️🍿🎥
Yes definitely give this one a watch Clarissa.
This one is on my watchlist. Thanks Lee!
You’re going to love it.
Happy Thanksgiving to you my friend
Happy thanksgiving to you as well Adrian!
thanks for reviewing one of my personal unknown favs of the 80s a classick!🙃
Welcome!
Glad I found this review. Just watched Joe Bob Briggs and this movie - pleasantly surprised, it was really good.
Even today, this movie is very unique.
Great review. I need to track this one down.
You won't be disappointed.
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
You too Aaron!
Digging into the obscure bin I see!? Noice! Definitely a hidden gem. And the alternate box art for this movie with the female lead on cover is one a kid from the 80's doesn't forget. Cheers!
As a gay - can confirm - adore horror movies
Amen brother.
Saw this first time tonight with close buddies. Man 81 was an amazing year of horror. Loved this film from the performances to the guts it took to focus so much on lgbt stuff in 81. Love representation especially in that light. Amazing film
@@mikeymorrison272 81 is easily my favorite year for horror.
To me 1980 is the best best year for horror
I'll have to go look and compare. I doubt it though Tanya.
Finna watch this rn 🎉
Enjoy Brian! Let me know what you think!
Thanks for this Lee. Will need to check this movie out! xx
I love your nick shirt with John's name 😁
Haha thank you!
Ooooooh I’ve been waiting for this one!! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽
Same to you Chad!
Psycho 2 come out in 1983
Thanks for the clarification Robert.
I saw this 2 years ago, and like you, it's a name I heard about a number of times over the years. I was VERY excited to see you covering it here! Great job!
I'd recommend seeing the comedy horror film "Wacko" (1982), also with Julia Duffy; I'd just heard of it recently and watched it. It's interesting seeing her quick progression from this movie, to "Wacko", to "Wizards and Warriors", to "Newhart". It's funny to think that she's actually 10 years older than Jimmy McNichol here!
I've never seen Susan Tyrrell play a normal character. She always sticks out, especially in this movie, and to a lesser extent, "Fat City" (1972). If anyone says that Al Pacino really went for it in "Scarface", they never saw her in this movie!
It is interesting that Kelly LeBrock did a number on two of the actors from "Weird Science", who were also in this movie.
BTW, I assumed that this movie was part comedy, yet I never see any write-ups suggesting that it is.
Thank you for the great suggestions! I love 70s and 80s flicks.
Bought and watched this one recently. Not bad!
Happy Thanksgiving!
You too GT!
Loved this movie first time I saw it 😀
Wow never heard it seen this movie .. will have to check it out
I made it a point to watch Night Warning/Butcher Baker, before going to see Ends, because of that DGG interview.
You're right though Drum, Michael was the same way in Halloween.
"he's a six year old boy, with the strength of a man...."
I wish I would have. It's a cool little movie.
This is a great movie. Thanks for the review! Fun times.
Welcome!
I saw this film a few years ago, and I thought it was average. You're right, 1981 has some of the best horror films, but I think 1982 too has the best, like The Thing, Poltergeist, The Entity, Creepshow, Friday the 13th Part 3, Slumber Party Massacre, Pieces, Tenebrae, Basket Case, New York Ripper, and Visting Hours. I hope you do a video on 1982's horror films soon.
I really thought we'd get a no mention of Halloween episode. Maybe next year? 🔪🎃😆
Halloween.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews 😂
I have not seen this but I did recently watch Blood Rage. That was a fun one.
This and Blood Rage would make a great double feature.
Cool im gonna watch this now
Enjoy!
Fun movie
This movie is also way better than Halloween Ends
I have a cousin who lives in Tennessee.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Hokestly, The psycho, narcissist Deputy played by Bo Svenson is awesome, and the aunt going nuts towards the ending with Billy turning completely badass with the big pistol
@@gaba-goo3733 Yeah Psycho II is one of the greatest sequels ever made.
On Movie Timelines channel, Josh is watching and reviewing EVERY 80's HORROR MOVIE EVER RELEASED!
Just watched (most of) this on Last Drive-In a couple weeks ago. Interesting film lol definitely agree about the aesthetic of late 70’s- early 80’s horror being so vibrant and endearing
Gonna have to check this movie out! Also, Halloween Ends is fantastic! It’s thought provoking like the original. The parallels between Corey and Laurie are insane!
Hell yeah!
I swear I have seen a bunch of slashers movies that I've never heard of before and it's mostly because of your channel where I hear them from. Awesome work as usual and Happy Thanksgiving🦃
Also there is a haunted house horror movie from 1980 called The Changeling, I would love to here your thoughts on it.
Funny enough, I just recently saw The Changeling for the first time based on my friend Lindsay’s recommendation.
Awesome review I also love this movie seen it twice on shudder ordering it now on Amazon.
I’m ordering it today too brother.
Happy Thanksgiving. I enjoy this one. I saw it back in the 80s. I thought it had a different name though. I hated the police detective and thought he was so over the top with his prejudice behavior. The mom/ Aunt Cheryl was so good in this. Glad you gave it trapped on an island. And yes that’s Kristy McNichols brother
This movie is really interesting, I like it. The standouts are Susan Tyrell and Bo Svenson.
Yes! Loved both of them.
I don't think I heard about this and happy early Thanksgiving to everyone
Definitely check it out.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews I will hopefully I can find it on Tubi TV like other 80s horror
Hi drumdums,
Jimmy, here,
Its not mentioned at all, as far as any references, to real life events, but the name on the title is famous. Robert Christian Hansen, known in the media as the Butcher Baker, was an American serial killer. Between 1971 and 1983, Hansen abducted, raped, and murdered at least seventeen women in and around Anchorage, Alaska. So Hansen was actually committing murder during the production of this movie! 😳
I've NEVER heard of this movie, and I am an "old school" horror movie addict.
Damn I didn't know that. What a psycho.
I recognize Susan Tyrell from "From a Whisper to a Scream," an overlooked horror anthology more people should know and talk about.
Lol I love this movie 🤣🤣🤣 when I finally saw this last year, i realised that 'Bates Motel' took most of this movie's storyline for the TV show 🤣🤣🤣 Good gay representation which is good for once. I saw a Giallo last night that kept saying f*g every 2 seconds for someone to sound cool but it was 1971 i guess... 😅🙄 Thankyou for the review, Lee. Always good to get a video from you 😎
Holy crap you’re right about Bates Motel.
I love this movie
Happy Thanksgiving, Lee! Ours is in October up here Canada. BTW...have you ever seen FEAR CITY with Tom Berenger from 1984. It has a Karate Killer.... very good slasher...I think you'll dig it. Not something you'd see today...and I think that we can still enjoy them, can't we?
No but I love Berenger.
You should do top 10 movies that should be on a scream factory rerelease
Is this the same William Asher that used to direct episodes of "I Love Lucy" & was married to Elizabeth Montgomery (Samantha from Bewitched) ?
I believe so.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Yup. He also directed some of the Beach Party movies starring Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon.en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Asher
this is giving me elm street 2 vibes
Very good film, especially for Susan Tyrrell's performance. I agree with you, this is not a slasher but a psychological thriller/horror. A few kills with a blade are not enough to define a film as a slasher, it is the whole of a film that makes you understand which genre it belongs to in my opinion
Yes she’s a complete psycho in this. Fabulous performance.
You definitely got the right idea,particularly how over the top Bo Svensom's homophobia is toward the one sympathetic character in the flick who mentored Billy.
And Susan Tyrell, she's just wired to be over the top, but her acting is so solid, it was her role to interpret how far to ratchet up the sexuality towards her nephew/son. Damn if she isn't HOT in the process, MILFY for sure, in a creepy way. She's brilliant as always, should have been the blueprint for Mrs Voorhees, possibly was.
Yeah it's such a strange flick. Right up my alley.
No kidding, I was in a movie and music store today that I recently discovered that has a ton of imports, and a Blu-ray of this was nestled in their horror section. Didn't have quite enough* to buy it (imports to Australia are freaking expensive) but I get paid next week. And if it's still there, I'm getting it with a few other things my eye espied.
(*But sure, buy that uncut copy of A Serbian Film you probably won't watch, George, you knucklehead.)
Damn that's awesome. Be sure to snag that George.
I had this movie on VHS as Night Warning it's not bad but I didn't find it that great just another slasher. Anyway good review and cool video Lee!👍 Happy Thanksgiving bro!🦃
You too Hector!
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews 👍
Sometimes prejudice can get in the way of the law?
I think 81 was during the writers strike
I'm lesbian, so same community, and yeah, I freaking love horror movies. As for this, I've seen it before, mum and dad had it on VHS, and yeah, it is a good one. Also, I agree, only other one I can think of off the top of head that had an ending of what happens to fiction characters afterwards is Animal House. So interesting how they do that. Anyways, thank you, Lee, and glad you enjoyed it.
Hey Jen! I can recall quite a few movies that had the aftermath of the fictional character in the credits. Especially back then.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I know you've seen it because of the drum cover you did. Trick or Treat has many similarities to Halloween Ends.
Definitely!
Hi Lee, I'm feeling drawn to say this. I just wanted to say that I'm turning away from horror, it has been a portal to letting demons in my life and spirit. I'm a Christian woman, who loves Jesus as my savior, and a lot of spiritual warfare has been going on with me. The other day I threw away about $800 or more of horror movies away, it has been tough b.c. horror has always been an outlet to help me with my anxiety, and final girls were ppl I could always relate to b.c. of my own trauma, but the Holy Spirit has led me to turn away from it all. I just want to say that I pray you and your family accept Jesus Christ as savior in your heart, so I see you up there in heaven, God bless, and take care.
Best of luck in your spiritual journey blue eyes.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Thank you!! I'll miss this family.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews she didn't have to throw them away she could have given them away I'll take them. Typical American attitude!🤔
@@blueeyes5832 Horror doesn't create psychopaths it makes psychopaths more creative!
I'll always know this film as "Night Warning" because of its home video release which is it's alternate title. I know I sound like a broken record here, but as far as the year 1980 goes, you NEED to see City of the living Dead (which is also on shudder and tubi)
I would love to find the Night Warning VHS.
You're done right in the early '80s you can get away with certain dialogue and if you're talking about the dialogue I am thinking of, I advise you to watch the very first episode of dynasty and what Blake Carrington says to his son who plays for the other team and this was on live television I think or prime time or you know a couple million people watching
I don’t doubt it at all. Different times for sure.
I think there could be a comparisons to Corey’s mom in Ends with controlling nature in the aunt/mother in Butcher, Baker,…
Also, the town of Haddonfield’s mistreatment of Corey juxtaposed with the Detective’s erroneous theories with Billy
Yes! Can’t believe I forgot to mention that.
When a filmmaker has reached the end of his movie he needs to end the movie at that point. Putting up words on the screen to explain what happened to the characters afterwards is usually a terrible idea. It certainly is here. It just about ruins what was otherwise an excellent film.
Haha That was a trope back in the 70s and 80s. Very weird.
I'm actually surprised we don't see more LGBT-themed horror these days! They're definitely popular within the demographic.
So much agreed.
Pls. U have to watch the first three wrong turn movies
I've reviewed the first one. The other 2 reviews are coming in Jan.
Thank you Lee for standing up for the LGBT community. Still think u would like Cruising
Cruising is definitely on my list. Been looking forward to that one.
Even our body language and the way we walked back then was different. Just another reason you can't recreate it nowadays
Completely agree. Great point.
About one of your points…
LGBTQ people LOVE horror! I got into horror around age 10-11, the same time I learned I was bisexual. I guess it’s something in our DNA 😅
LGBTQ people are behind some of the biggest horror movies of all time too. F.W. Murnau, James Whale, Clive Barker, Don Mancini, Kevin Williamson, Christopher Landon - we live and breathe for this genre ❤
Hell yeah. Couldn’t agree more. That’s what I love about the LGBT community. And they’re great friends.
So this is the movie that ruined Halloween ends lol.
No this is the movie that inspired DGG to tried something different. And we all benefited from it.
I saw this flick in Shudder month ago , is good ....i saw a NEW movie ,i didn't get it , he was gay or what , BUT IS Thriller in HULU call >>>The good Neighbor , was twisted & suspenseful movie ...I liked it was good , if u get chance check it out & F**** that HALLOWEEN ENDS , was garbage, wasted time, glad saw it in peacock ,i tho the Kills was bad , Halloween ends just pissed on that
I guess the saddest thing about all this is how we're all put into categories. The older i get the more i see things differently. We shouldnt be labeled gay,straight,etc..BUT just..people. And when you ask someone "what are you" it should just be 1st im a human and 2nd i PREFER this person..OR that person..Love is just love. I dont know the history of where the words "gay" came from NOR have i actually researched. I assume there are no real answers as history is diluted so much..However I feel it all started from religion. Since everything is wrong to those that follow the couple of main religions. I say live your life and leave people alone..Wait..we talking about a movie? lol :D
Completely agree Mikie.
Still riding on the Halloween Ends high I see. 😆
Just slightly.
Honestly my biggest problem with the movie is THE RIDICULOUS TITLE “butcher baker nightmare maker” is a bit stupid, but one thing that woman is CRAZY, she seems all nice, when she’s a killer potential serial killer crazy pedo
Yeah but it's highly memorable. I like the title.
I don't like when gay characters are put into movies to show how tolerant the filmmakers are (or at least when it comes off like that). But Big and Little John were my favourite characters in HKills.
I know exactly what you mean. I want them to feel natural to the story just like any other demographic. And this movie achieved that.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews I might have to watch it then, if it's trapped on an island then I've got no choice!
Review bones 🦴 and all
I did.
