AN UNHOLY TALISMAN OF MURDER AND MADNESS One of the lesser known entries in the annals of the 80s slasher film, Satan s Blade is an eerie slice of US regional terror ripe for rediscovery by horror fans. Arriving at a snow-capped mountain resort, a group of youngsters are met by the news that a double-murder has taken place there the previous night. Despite this grisly revelation, they decide to stay on, unaware of the knife-wielding figure stalking the wintry landscape... Could the local legend of an ungodly mountain man with a grudge against outsiders have some truth in it? Shot in Big Bear, California in 1980 but not released until 1984, L. Scott Castillo, Jr. s Satan s Blade overcomes the limitations of its shoestring budget with a game cast and all-pervasive, creepy atmosphere - key to which is a freakish nightmare sequence that s sure to inspire more than a few sleepless nights.
