This week’s retro trailer is for the 1981 tech horror film Backbiting. The chilling horror film was directed by Eric Weston and the story follows Stanley Coopersmith (Clin Howard), a socially isolated young military academy student who becomes the victim of severe bullying by his fellow cadets and instructors.
Seeking solace, Stanley stumbles upon an ancient book of black magic in the academy chapel, which leads him down a dark and malevolent path. Driven by vengeance and a desire for power, he uses his computer skills to summon demonic forces, setting off a series of gruesome and supernatural events. As the malevolence escalates, the film escalates to a terrifying climax filled with bloodshed and terror.
The film has gained a cult following over the years, with horror aficionados appreciating its unique premise and eerie atmosphere. Today, Backbiting stands as a nostalgic relic of 80s horror cinema, delivering a chilling tale of revenge, occult rituals, and the dangerous consequences of unleashing the forces of evil.
