Can anyone help me find this film?

So today my gf was talking about a film she saw a few years ago where apparently there was a killer who is a big guy with big arms and he rips someone's arm off and beat them with it.

and also she said that she thinks the killer used a ship anchor to kill someone too. She vaguely remembers it, not sure if even it is a slasher but I thought maybe asking here would help.

Ranking Slasher Franchises: Part Threes

  1. A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors- There really was no other choice for number one. Up there with sequels like Aliens and Terminator 2, which expand on the scope of the original without losing it's core appeal.

  2. Halloween 3: Season of The Witch- My favorite Halloween movie other than the original. The score/ overall atmosphere is immaculate and the plot is intriguing and batshit crazy in the best way.

  3. Friday The 13th Part 3- One of my favorite cheesy 80's slasher flicks and the movie that defined Jason as a horror/ pop cultural icon.

  4. Terrifier 3- A better shot and directed film than the first two. This one might be my favorite performance from David Howard Thornton.

  5. Prom Night 3: The Last Kiss- A surprisingly funny and entertaining movie for a second Prom Night sequel. I enjoy turning Mary Lou into a sexy Freddy Krueger-like character.

  6. Psycho 3- A well directed movie with a lot of good moments, but overall a lot more unfocused than the first two Psychos.

  7. Child's Play 3- Probably the most forgettable Chucky movie, but it's competently made and has moments of entertainment value.

  8. Scream 3- I don't really dislike this movie or anything, but it's still the weakest and most tired of the Scream sequels (I haven't seen 7).

  9. Hatchet 3- Probably the best out of all the Hatchet movies, for whatever that's worth. The change in directors makes a big difference.

  10. Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3- I like a lot of specific things about this movie (Ken Foree and Leatherface's design), but overall this is one of the most forgotten horror sequels ever made, and for good reason.

  11. Candyman 3: Day of The Dead- Basically just a lesser derivative of the second Candyman, which already wasn't a great movie. Some of the effects are laughably bad, but at least Tony Todd's still here.

  12. Sleepaway Camp 3: Unhappy Campers- I'll watch this movie anytime because it's Sleepaway Camp and I like the vibes of it, but this movie has almost nothing to it. It's unbelievably bland.

  13. Urban Legends: Bloody Mary- This piece of shit is only ranked this high 'cause of the one scene where spiders burst out of a girl's zit.

  14. Silent Night, Deadly Night 3: Better Watch Out- Other than the killer being Billy Mosley with an exposed brain, this is one of the lamest, most weaksauce, rip offs of a horror movie I've ever seen.

  15. I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer- This movie fucking sucks. Why did ghost Ben Willis start killing a bunch of kids he doesn't even know? What the fuck?

  16. Slumber Party Massacre 3- May very well be the most forgettable slasher sequel ever made. This movie literally has no identity of it's own and no memorable, stand out sequences or kills or anything.

What’s your favorite opening and title card in a slasher flick?

Mine is Halloween 1978. Carpenter’s score and that creepy pumpkin work well to set the tone and atmosphere.

What if The Grabber(Black Phone movies) &amp; Freddy Krueger(Nightmare on Elm Street franchise) met?

Two child murders who became supernatural entities after death. After seeing Black Phone 2 I got mega curious if they these 2 ever met.

What's your opinion on Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1988)?

When I watched it I remember comparing it a lot to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre because of Gunnar Hansen in the cast and the chainsaws, but the story of this film managed to captivate me.

Being a very low-budget film, I understand the low quality but that didn't stop it from being good trash, liked it.

Laurie Strode vs Nancy Thompson: who’s your pick?

I’ve always thought these two are probably the best examples of completely different types of final girls.

Laurie in Halloween feels like someone genuinely trapped in the worst night of her life. She’s scared the entire time, nobody really listens to her, and by the end she’s basically surviving on adrenaline. What makes her work for me is how raw and believable she feels. She isn’t setting up plans or trying to outsmart Michael at first, she’s just trying to stay alive while this unstoppable thing keeps getting back up.

Nancy feels almost like the opposite. Once she realizes Freddy is real, she actually starts figuring him out and fighting back. She studies him, stays awake, rigs traps, and turns herself into the hunter by the end of the movie. She feels way more proactive and strategic than Laurie.

I think Laurie is the scarier and more realistic portrayal of survival, but Nancy probably feels more empowering because she actively takes control of the situation.

What also makes both characters stand out is that neither movie gives them a clean victory. Michael disappears after Laurie thinks it’s over, and Freddy still gets the final moment in Elm Street. Both endings leave you with that feeling that the nightmare never really ended.

For me it honestly changes depending on the day. Laurie is probably the blueprint, but Nancy might be the more impressive survivor overall.

What would you consider the most creative death in any slasher?

(Ignore the watermark, this was the only hd clip I had of this scene) If I would have to choose, I would probably choose Wade from House of Wax, who was paralyzed and turned into a wax sculpture by Vincent Sinclair. The thing I find frightening about this is the fact he can’t scream or move and can only feel the pain of his skin coming off with the wax. And I don’t think it was a quick death after half of his face was sliced off. But what would any of you consider a creative death?

The first time I watched this scene, I thought the machete was going to cut her in half, but it looked like Jason hit her with a baseball bat because he threw her far away.

1987 Blood Hook. The film follows a series of murders committed during a Wisconsin fishing festival by a killer using a giant fish hook.
