A murderous mental patient who believes herself to be legendary axe-wielding murderess Lizzy Borden escapes from the psychiatric ward and embarks on a bloody rampage at the local community college in this slasher shocker from Camp Blood producer David Sterling and Heartland of Darkness director Eric Swelstad. It's been five years since Cassie Daniels picked up an axe and butchered six innocent people. She told the doctors at the mental hospital that she thought she was Lizzy Borden, and every night in the sanitarium her victims return to haunt her. One day, during a regular therapy session, Cassie slips back into Lizzie mode and murders her therapist before staging a daring escape. Once on the outside Cassie adapts an assumed name, befriending a history professor at the local community college and showing a noted interest when he announces that his students are studying the legend of Lizzie Borden. As the end-of-semester prom night dance draws near, the murderous spirit tale hold and the body count starts to rise. By the day of the dance, only one student is left to fight the homicidal maniac. Will he be capable of brining this bloody massacre to an end, or will he end up just another victim on old Lizzie Borden's chopping block? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Now, in order to make it through the night alive, the gentlemen in this club will have to do battle with a hideous horde of blood-drinking she-demons whose power is drawn directly from the lord of the underworld.

In a small town in Arkansas in 1958, a pitiful, deformed "feral boy" is tortured and killed by trouble-making local teenagers. The creature, however, was the son of the monster Pumpkinhead.

Eddie Presley (Duane Whitaker) is a security guard who, like his lifetime hero, is slightly overweight these days. Formerly, he occasionally worked as an Elvis impersonator. Recently he has had rather a rough time, but his spirits have improved on learning that he will have a chance to revive his impersonation routines for a single evening at a none-too spiffy nightclub. When the club's music equipment chews up his tapes, Eddie doesn't simply leave the stage. Instead, he delivers a monologue about his life and times, how he came to be so devoted to Elvis, and his recent nervous breakdown. This movie was adapted from a play and performance piece by Duane Whitaker. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Upon stopping for gas and directions on the Texas back roads, bickering yuppies Michelle (Kate Hodge) and Ryan (William Butler) get harassed by leering service-station owner Alfredo (Tom Everett). When the helpful intercession of a hitchhiker named Tex (Viggo Mortensen) leads to violence, the couple flees the area. Eventually, an unknown truck forces them off the road and into an accident with the sports utility vehicle of Benny (Ken Foree), a well-armed survivalist. Pursued by unknown assailants, Benny and his fellow accident victims must abandon both vehicles and armaments. Eventually all three end up trapped on the boggy forest estate of a family of cannibalistic serial killers who range in age from a feral little girl (Jennifer Banko) to an aged matriarch (Miriam Byrd-Nethery). The clan also includes the title character, whose chainsaw-wielding rampages are among the few direct links between this installment and the earlier two films in this series. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi
