Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNew Jersey horror director Warren F. Disbrow and his father Warren Disbrow Sr. worked with Samuel M. Sherman on the 1987 added scenes, which was sold as "The Bloody Dead".
- Alternate versionsU.S. distributor Independent International prepared a special version for licensing to the home video market. The film was retitled "The Bloody Dead" and contained approximately 7 minutes of additional footage filmed by Independent International. The added footage included the addition of two cannibalistic inmates at the asylum, and insert shots for the murders that added blood and gore. Some of the scenes from the original film were reedited. The added footage is marked by an obvious drop in the photographic and audio quality.

Featured review
This is not about a lonely smurf...
Thankfully I haven't seen the re edited hatchet job that was released as The Bloody Dead that was culled from this movie. The ads on the video release did tout it as before Freddy in the Nightmare On Elm Street series.But this is another from the German krimis based on the works of Edgar Wallace.
What we have here is the old good twin/evil twin plot that has been done to death.Two brothers (played by the ever intense Klaus Kinski)are the center of a plot. One was convicted of murder and locked in the squirrel farm over his protestations of innocence.Conveniently the asylum is in the neighborhood of the family estate.
Freed by an unknown benefactor the twin flees to the family basement. Then a series of brutal killing via a spiked glove begin.Confusion abounds as the brothers bounce back and forth in cases of mistaken identity.As usual there is a fortune to be inherited as well, secret police agents and a mad doctor(is there any other kind?).
This by no means a great movie.It just happens to be rather unremarkable and somewhat predictable if you've seen enough movies in this genre.Hey, somebody has to sit through it so you don't have to.
See it only if you don't want to think strenuously.
