Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker

Friday, December 27 - Saturday, December 28, 2024

The only man in spinster Cheryl’s (Susan Tyrell) life is her orphaned teenage nephew, Billy (Jimmy McNichol). But when Billy starts seeing a girl for the first time, Cheryl will stop at nothing to keep him all to herself—including implicating him in a grisly murder under investigation by a psychotic police detective (Bo Svenson). 7x Emmy® nominee Julia Duffy and Bill Paxton co-star in what’s certainly the most joltingly violent psychosexual shocker ever made by a creator of the BEACH PARTY franchise.
