Killer’s Moon

A quartet of mental patients breaks out of the hospital and go on a killing spree, which in this case means terrorizing a group of virginal school girls staying at a lonely mansion in the woods. The twist to the story is that while at the hospital the killers were all part of an experimental dream study involving lots of LSD, so that even though they know what they are doing as they hack and slash their way through the schoolgirls, they do so believing that it’s all taking place in a dream. The script isn’t smart enough to try and make any grand statements about dreams vs. reality or anything like that. It only wants to make you squirm, which it does with style.
