Bloody Wednesday (1988)

An American horror thriller directed and produced by Mark G. Gilhuis.
While going through a divorce from his wife, a man loses his job at an auto repair service station. He shows up in church naked and is committed to a mental institution. Upon his release, his brother has him live in an abandoned hotel where he loses his mind completely.
I thought this was cool. Most of the film is from the main character's perspective and I sympathize with him. It's tough being the only sane person you know. I really liked the teddy bear with the gun hidden in it. The video was very grainy like an '80s straight to VHS release and the audio was muffled and garbled (generally low quality) but these aspects helped to convey the mental instability of the main character. The plot was a little long-winded and the pacing was too slow, but the characters were good and there was no lack of style. I'm rating this awesome.
