Sledge Hammer (1983) is a movie I recently watched on Shudder. The storyline follows a young man who killed his family with a hammer. Years later some teenagers stay at the house of the murders and try to conjure the spirits of the house. It quickly becomes apparent they conjured more than just spirits to return to the house...
This movie is directed by David A. Prior (Deadliest Prey) and stars Ted Prior (Deadliest Prey), Sandy Brooke (Star Slammer), Linda McGill (Wicked World) and John Eastman (Dollman).
This movie is the definition of low budget horror. The cinematography and acting is poor and the background sound effects are hilarious. The use of shadows were fun and there are some good corpses in this. There are 1 or 2 worthwhile kill scenes, but most of the kills require you to use your imagination based on the shadow on the wall. There is a legendary slap scene in this that's an absolute must see and the teenagers are annoying enough you find yourself rooting for the killer.
This is an uneven addition to the horror genre that's a must see for horror enthusiasts but just okay overall. I would score this a 4.5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
