DISPLAY OPTIONS:

Director William R. Pace debuts with the chilling account of a mild-mannered midwesterner who went horribly wrong. The film opens with a lone sniper atop a water tower firing at terrified passers-by. As he commits mass murder, the film flashes back to the events that led up to this drastic act. Billy led a quiet life of desperation, starting with demeaning part-time jobs, a pushy wife, and his bullying father. A sense of doom and tragedy hovers over Billy like a black cloud until one day the weight proves to be too great and he starts his rampage. Charming Billy debuted at the L.A./AFI Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

Starring:: Michael Hayden, Sally Murphy, (more)

Blades: 1989

This clunky horror parody opens with a series of lawnmower mutilation murders at the Tall Grass Country Club, days before the opening of a televised Pro-Am tournament. Fearing bad publicity, the club owner enlists the aid of alcoholic pro Roy Kent (Robert North) -- a has-been who can't seem to live down a flub that caused his career to take a nose-dive years ago -- to undertake a very low-key investigation. Roy's chief rival, young Kelly Lange (Victoria Scott), insists they close the club pending capture of the killer. When the murders are pinned on the gruff Deke Slade (Jeremy Whelan), it seems the case is closed... but the real killer is still lurking about. This Troma flavored spoof plays like a scene-for-scene parody of Jaws, especially during the climax when our three "heroes" wage a battle of wills with -- big surprise here -- a demonic lawnmower. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

All's Fair: 1989

Veteran comic actor George Segal plays a wealthy industrialist whose real passion in life is paint-gun war games. In fact, he's so addicted to these quasi-military games that he insists on being addressed as "Colonel." The way to promotion in his company is through these games, rather than through doing a good job. Hard working Ann (Jennifer Edwards) is tired of seeing less competent males promoted because of their war game skills. She joins forces with the Colonel's wife Florence (Sally Kellerman), with whom he's in the midst of a divorce, and the other company wives to form their own war games team. They hire a mercenary (Lou Ferrigno) to train them, leading to a climactic showdown with the men. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Starring:: George Segal, Sally Kellerman, (more)
