SHOW TIMES: Monday, August 02, 2021 @ 4:00 pm
Admission: $12.00 (after taxes & fees)
By sword. By pick. By axe. BYE BYE!! THE MUTILATOR is a feel-bad violence machine that lives up to its name ten times over. And it’s a tale as old as time. When a little kid named Ed shoots his mom with a rifle, his Dad flips out and sips a cocktail. Ten years later, Dad asks Ed (and five of his friends) to close up the family’s beach-side condo for the autumn season. And that’s when the medieval hatchet shows up.
Oozing with brutal gore from FX wizard Mark Shostrom (VIDEODROME, EVIL DEAD II), beach-goth mood, and haunted synths, THE MUTILATOR is an undiscovered treasure from the golden age slasher boom. It should also be noted that this movie contains a killer dad-rock theme song called “Fall Break.” (American Genre Film Archive)
