David A. Prior's pioneering horror of the SOV (shot-on-video) era sees a group of friends party at a backwoods house where a legacy of brutality awaits. But within this minimalist ‘80s mélange of food fights, feathered hair and abusive slow-motion lurks a relentless synth score, bizarre sexual subtexts and a disturbing shape-shifting behemoth killer. SLEDGEHAMMER is a cult epic and an experience unlike any other.
