GBW #109: That Ain't Cranberry Sauce (Blood Rage / Pilgrim / Home Sweet Home [1981])

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more! This week, in honor of the holiday season and the release of Eli Roth's "Thanksgiving," Ryan and Chris dive into three Thanksgiving-set slashers. We start with 1987's (though filmed in 1983) "Blood Rage," an all-killer, no-filler Florida-set slasher that is light on plot but heavy on carnage. Then, we move into 2019's "Pilgrim," which was a part of Hulu and Blumhouse's "Into the Dark" series. Somewhere in it is a cool premise, but it's too hampered but illogical plot decisions (even for this kind of movie) and cheap production values to enjoy even in the slightest. Finally, we move into 1981's "Home Sweet Home" in which "Bodies by Jake" stars as a PCP-addicted psychopath and a guy with facepaint and an electric guitar annoys everyone in his neighborhood. It's not good, but it's weird, and in this subgenre, that goes a long ways.
