Revealing mistake: The robber who kills Billy's mother is shown cutting her throat but with the flat side of the blade. Moreover real blood doesn't ooze out so thickly, indicating it was makeup.

9. 7/10. An unfairly forgotten and picked on horror movie of the 80's. Here's a thought to the parents groups, don't let your kids watch these movies, not a hard thing to do. Billy's an underrated slasher as he's actually quite sympathetic. He loses his parents to a thug dressed like Santa Claus who his crazed grandfather has said would punish all naughty kids. Then he's abused by this evil woman passing herself as a nun for years until he snaps. It's a well done movie guaranteed to please slasher fans.
Andy: So, what the fuck are you doing now?
Billy Chapman: You know, you shouldn't talk like that.
Andy: Oh? Well pardon me, Ann Landers.
Trivia: Scream Queen Linnea Quigley appears in the movie as a babysitter.
Suggested correction: How is someone being in the cast a piece of trivia? Unless it's something notable like one of an actor's earliest roles, or a final appearance, it's not really interesting enough to be considered trivia.
