The Mutilator

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A beach-house visit becomes a family revenge nightmare. The practical gore is the accomplished part; the implausible decisions and oddly jaunty holiday atmosphere provide the awkwardness, with enough vicious material to make this a stronger flavour of slasher night.

Synopsis and movie facts
As a child, Ed was cleaning his father’s hunting rifles - a surprise birthday treat for the old man - when one of them went off, hitting and killing his mother. On seeing the bloodshed, his father flew into a murderous rage - Ed just barely escaped with his life. Now in his teens, he returns home; he doesn’t expect to find his father, still there, waiting for a chance to settle the score . . .
