Knucklebones (2016)
Some young people manage to resurrect a demon from the depths of hell by rolling some knuckle bones. Naturally said demon then goes on a rampage.
Remember when films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) were banned due to their perceived use of chainsaws as a weapon, even though there would be little bloodshed seen on the screen?
Well in Knucklebones a guy gets a chainsaw rammed up his arse in vivid close up and we get to see his guts spill out from his er' separated buttocks. There may well have been issues with that in the 80's.
I have to say i loved this 80's slasher throwback. Which encapsulates all that was good about the genre including a great looking demon that reminded me of an unmasked Jason Vorhees from later Friday films with quips straight from a Freddy Krueger phrase book.
A great bloody low budget throwback to the splatter era, Knucklebones is a lot of fun.
