Grindhouse
Scream Bloody Murder
The first motion picture to be called gore-nography! In this grim grindhouse proto-slasher, a psychotic kid kills his dad (with a tractor!) and gets his arm destroyed in the process. Placed in an institution and given a hook for a hand, he’ll emerge from the asylum years later and return home. But when he discovers his mom has remarried, it will awaken his homicidal rage and send him on a violent killing spree.
