Nightmare at Shadow Woods

Nightmare at Shadow Woods (1987) — a lean American slasher you can watch online on iFILM, directed by John Grissmer. Actor Mark Soper plays both twins: Todd and Terry look identical, but Terry is the one who took an axe to a man at a drive-in and let his brother take the fall. Todd spent a decade in a psychiatric ward for it.

Now Todd has escaped. Terry picks up the killing again, fully aware that every new body will be blamed on his fugitive twin. Louise Lasser, known from Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, co-stars as the mother who quietly chose her favourite child long ago. Raw, no-budget genre filmmaking from 1987 that never pretends to be anything else — which is more than most of its peers could manage. Stream it on iFILM.
