Fade To Black. 1980.

Dennis Christopher plays young shy Eric who seems to the target for bullies and takes inspiration from some films to exact his revenge while dressed up in a few characters he seems to admire. Eve Brent is the crippled not so loving aunt who realises her wheelchair is not for wheelchair use and Mickey Rourke meets a gunslinger that looks like Yul Brynner from Westworld and a Marilyn Monroe look a like who our killer seems to be attracted to.

This is between a slasher and full blown psychological film but doesn't exactly lean towards to either genre but certainly has it's entertaining moments especially with Tim Thomerson being a police criminologist who seems very sympathetic/empathetic towards Eric who seems to be like a anti-hero and we want to see the bullies get a bit of karma brought their way.
