Red Rattlesnake

About This Movie

So, 'Red Rattlesnake' is this gritty 1982 film that dives deep into the crime and revenge genre. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and it ramps up to some really disturbing sequences—like that acid shower scene. I mean, it’s pretty wild how they do the practical effects here; it’s all very hands-on and raw, which really adds to the horror elements. The pacing can be a bit uneven at times, but it builds to these gory moments that stick with you. Plus, the performances are… well, let’s just say they fit the tone perfectly. And if you’re into obscure flicks, this one’s got ties to the IFD/Ho mashup 'Majestic Thunderbolt' later on, which is an interesting footnote for collectors.
