The Slayer (also known as Nightmare Island) is Psychological horror/Mystery/Horror-of-demonic/Splatter that gained notoriety and was classified in the UK as a video nasty and consequently was unavailable for a number of years until passed uncut by the BBFC in 2001. Before then it'd been edited by 14 secs for violence.

[edit] Synopsis
Siblings, Eric (Frederick Flynn) & his surreal abstract artist sister Kay (Sarah Kendall), her doctor husband David (Alan McRae), her sister-in-law Brooke (Carol Kottenbrook) along with pilot Marsh (Michael Holmes) become stranded on a rugged isle. For thirty-something Kay her current situation is her worst fears realised, for she's been troubled since her childhood by reoccurring prophetic nightmares in which she is stalked and slain in a burning room by figure known as The Slayer. Now it seems this place may be in fact its dwelling and she's sure somehow that this so-called entity is lurking close by, biding its time until nightfull, where it will be drawn to Kay who (for whatever reason) dreams of its killings. But then again what's real or make believe?, As not everything is what it seems here in this place.
