MCT:May 14, 2008Hell Night is a creepy little fun horror movie from the 80's. The atmosphere in this movie is amazing, and to me atmosphere is one of the strongest qualities in a horror film. Yes there's the typical 80's cheese, but it's always fun and it never takes away from the fear that this movie delivers. We get a spooky old mansion in the dark foggy mist, possibly haunted by a ghost, and a killer who's on a murderous rampage killing off a group of teens one by one. It's all great and there are some really true intense nail biting moments in here as well. To me, this is Linda Blair's best movie by far.
"Hell Night focuses on Marti, a young college co-ed played by Linda Blair. Marti is pledging a sorority and must endure "hell night," the night when pledges must perform some idiotic stunt in order to become members. So, Marti along with fellow pledge Denise, must spend the night in Garth Mansion, along with fraternity pledges Jeff and Seth. Why Garth Manor you may ask? Well, it seems that millionaire Mr. Garth and his wife had three deformed children. Mr. Garth couldn't take this, so he slaughtered his family and killed himself, but only three bodies were found. The legend has it that Andrew, the youngest Garth child, still roams the grounds.
So, Marti and the rest of the gang enter Garth Mansion. Soon, frat president Jeff, and two cronies arrive to begin playing pranks on the group to try and frighten them. But, someone else is in the house, someone who isn't there for fun and games. One by one the young partiers are picked off by an unseen assailant. Is this all an elaborate "hell night" trick or has one of the Garth's returned to seek vengeance?"
Hell Night is such an underrated film that had never gotten the attention that it deserved. The beautiful Linda Blair was stunning in this film(and no, I'm not just talking about all that cleavage she showed here), even though that definitely was a plus. The acting wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either, and it never becomes too unbelievable. Actually the performances were just right for the type of movie that this was and the story, although not too original, was told in a very creepy fashion. Another great thing about this movie too was the score, the music here was very eerie and spine tingling and it had added much tension to several scenes in the movie.
This movie is definitely perfect to watch around Halloween time, for it does have that spooky spirited Halloween feel to it. I just loved this movie! Don't expect any gore or anything like that, because even though it's rated R with the occasional spurts of violence and some nudity, this movie strongly relies on the spooky dark atmosphere, along with a good old creepy story. Try to watch this movie in the dark, when you're alone at night, I'm sure you'll be quite pleased. Check this movie out...Hell Night is a must see!

MCT:May 9, 2008A typical 1980s slasher movie where horny teeneagers do stupid things and get killed by a maniac in all sorts of gruesome ways. Not bad for films of this type though.

This has one of the best decapitations if memory serves me right. So So horror film that could of been better.

MCT:February 3, 2008Another of the cheesy slasher greats from the 80's. Forget The Exorcist.....this is my favorite Linda Blair movie! ....and it has nothing to do with the amount of cleavage she shows. Hell Night sets itself apart from others like it by actually developing the characters before the shit hits the fan and changing the setting to a creepy haunted house. Of course the acting is piss-poor and the story holds no surprises, but it doesn't really matter since the movie is actually scary! I was surprised at how many of the film's set-pieces and jumpy bits were still so effective. The scenes in the hedge maze and tunnels hold up especially well, and that part with the floor rug gets me every time. This is probably the most atmospheric of all the slasher films to come out of the early 80's. They just don't make em like this anymore.

A pretty nasty little number from the early 80s that is Part Slasher/Part Mutant Monster on the loose movie about a group of kids that gather in a castle.....and...well, the big mutant monster that starts picking them off one by one. Still, this movie is pretty well made for what it is (and MAN was Linda Blair hot back in the day), and nice and gory like a good slasher movie should be.

This scared me a lot when I first watched this movie! A group of Sority kids pledge 4 fraternity pledges to sleep in a Mansion, which has been rumored to be still haunted and possible may still be inhabitant with the previous goolish owner. Scary and suprising. Check it out!

A classic 1981 Horror B-movie with a lot of interestint twists and turns. Linda Blair of "The Exorcist" stars in this movie about college kids spending the night in an old mansion and death happens.

MCT:May 3, 2007Lesson to filmmakers: just because a film is set at night, doesn't mean you should shoot the damn thing in pure darkness, thus depriving your audience the sight of such things as: your cast, sets, action, etc. Appallingly shot entry in the college-kids'-hazing-ritual-gone-wrong genre, with Linda Blair trying to parlay her EXORCIST fame into a career as a scream queen. It didn't really work, and this film is one of the reasons why.

MCT:January 14, 2007I love this film. This was the first modern horror film that I saw in a theatre. I was finally old enough to go to a restricted movie and this was it. It is full of horror-movie cliches and full of plot holes, but it is a pretty effective "teens in distress" flick. It's fun - just don't expect a lot from it
-
MCT:December 19, 2006No, Linda Blair never dies...too bad. This one is very slow moving and the actors are not exactly captivating...some cool creepy images to happen later on though.
-
MCT:November 5, 2006I know I watched this movie (I bought it for a quarter at Goodwill) but it absolutely didn't stick with me. 'Twas not very good, no.
-
MCT:September 23, 2006Utter vomit. The writing is completely inept and the acting is irritating beyond belief. It's badly shot and thoroughly boring.

I remember it not being very good but I kinda want to see it again, on dvd preferably because the vhs copy I saw was really dark. Yeah.
