When I was a kid, I would always see a movie at the video store that I wanted to get but never did. I've been searching for it on the interwebs but only remember the cover and the pictures on the back. The cover was a long white mask/pale face with a dark hat, it had something similar to Wolverine claws, and the title was one word, something like "Slasher" or "Slayer."
I know it sounds cheesy but at the time it looked creepy. On the back one of the smaller pictures was from a scene with a car crash, with Mr. Pale Hat Man standing beside the car, looking at the camera, in the rain. I'm not sure when it was made exactly, but I'm thinking sometime in the late ‘90s/early ‘00s. I've searched IMDb to no end, and know you guys usually have the answers, I'd really appreciate the help, it's driving me crazy not remembering!
UNK SEZ: Kylee, based on your description and the time frame you provided, I think you are referring to George Romero's BRUISER which came out in 2000 (please correct me if I'm wrong.) BRUISER is not the best movie in the world, but since it's the only film I'm aware of that combines the flavors of both TOM ATKINS and PETER STORMARE and then drizzles a MISFITS appearance over the top, I'm willing to give it a break. Now, if you'll excuse me I'm going to sit in a corner and meditate about how incredibly old I have become (traumafessions from this decade tend to have that effect on me!)
Bruiser is one hell of a film. Highly recommended.
This was actually another one I saw at the movie store! Unfortnately, I was thinking of a different one. Thanks for your help, Kylee
That's not it either, but it does look like something I'll be checking out. It's strange how these movies are so similar, kind of says something about Hollywood…
Maybe 2001's "Slashers"?
