Movie Review: "Tonight on Saturday Nightmares" Part 2
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the many movies that scared me when I was growing up and another in a long line of movies that I have looked for to see and own in my attempt to have a second childhood.
This one isn't gory or even well acted(it has the look of a low budget or even a student movie. It was written and directed by John Newland of "One Step Beyond" fame and claims to be based on "true stories". Perhaps because of the low budget and imperfections in the film stock, this is one eerie little movie. It kept me up late with the lights on long after it ended as a 10 year old!
The movie tells three "True Tales" of trips into the supernatural. In the first, a prank leads to the death of a young man and his mother puts a curse on the boys responsable and they find out that the number 7 isn't always lucky. The second tale takes place at the turn of the century, and tells of a hole that opens in the earth around a farming town. Terrible smells and awful sounds emerge from it and against sound judgement one family man goes down to retrieve what sounds like a family dog,with very unexpected results. The third tale is about a couple who pick up a girl hitchhiking home and what happens when she gets there.
Like I said this isn't a great film but it does what it sets out to do, which is give you a cold chill up the spine. The transfer is not the best but that is part of what makes this one so creepy. Worth a look
