Sledgehammer: The Movie (Not the Song).

Hey, Horror Nuts of the Macabre Daily. Your digital pal her Nick here - yeah, it’s been a while…

Uh…What can I say I was sick, my best friend's aunt got married and they needed a super hot officiant, My dog ate it. The list of excuses could be a long one - but really - I got mixed up in a weird cult where they expect you to donate all your time to creating vegan casserole recipes for the blind and modeling vinyl underwear for a religious sex resort in Guam.

It was a weird time, I learned a lot about myself - but I knew I had to reprogram - so a big shout out to Mario Lopez for getting me the help I needed. And thanks to the team here at MD for keeping me in their thoughts...I'm back.

While I was on a flight to Guam to model this rad new pair of blue vinyl chaps - I snuck my iPhone on our leader's private jet and decided to watch 198'3 Sledgehammer. Not the song - but since it's now in your head - click here and you can listen to it as you read on.

Ok. Sledgehammer. Ugh. Well...not the best flick - but not the worst - see FINAL EXAM.

This movie was filmed with your Dad's very first video camera. For real. Shot entirely on video. This movie is like if you grew up in the suburbs of Dallas in the 80s, smoked really shitty weed while reading Fangoria and borrowed your Dad's video camera while he was at the local bar selling Quaaludes to recently divorced women - this would be the movie that was produced.

All J/K-ing aside, this movie is really like someone got their friends together and shot a movie over a drunken weekend. Let IMDB give you the jest - I'll copy and paste it for you - -

A young boy murders his mother and her lover with a hammer. Ten years later, a wave of teenage murders plagues the same area.

Written and directed by David A. Prior - (who also wrote and direct Killer Workout), this movie was filmed mostly in his small apartment. It was tough to watch. Really. The photo below is a picture of me when I was told I had to watch it for a second time.

No. That’s not really me. I’m way sexier. That'smthe director's brother (Ted Prior) who plays the lead of Chuck. I guess there only sorta rad thing about this flick is he goes shirtless a few times. But I digress. I'm not a stupid cinephile, so I'm not gonna bore the 3 people reading this with a thoughtful breakdown of this flick - I'll make it was simpler.

Shot over a weekend in David Prior's home, this script was written as they shot this movie - there is never any tactful dialogue that brings the story together.

In the beginning - the kid kills an abusive, whorish mom and her sexy, mustached lover.

10 years later...

3 couples and their dorky (comic relief), single friend come to party in the "cabin"--

The killer comes back (is he a ghost, an alien) - Wait - is this a supernatural movie? Fuck!

He kills all the kids - except Chuck and his gal pal (Joni)--

But as they leave - the little kid is back looking out the window--

Dude. So this monster (turns from kid to psycho-killer throughout the movie). I'm so confused. Still.

Here's what the killer looks like a grown man -
