Movie Reviews of Hell Night
Movie Review: Not as hellacious as I remember but still somewhat decent
Summary: 3 Stars
Linda Blair stars as a college student Marti. Together with three other friends she has to spend the night in a house with a brutal history for an initiation. What started as a mere gag turned into a night of fighting for survival.
Hell Night is an 80's slasher that could mostly appeal to Linda Blair fans. This is one of the reasons I keep it around but it doesn't add to the rating or my overall enjoyment. This to me is a movie that could have been a little better.
I give it some credit for actually trying to give the characters some personality and the setting was fair. I also liked the fact the characters reactions were pretty realistic. Once they realized things were serious. They ACTUALLY tried to get out the house.
Now I don't find this movie scary in the slightest and I never did, even as a kid. The death scenes weren't really good and the gore was very limited as well. I'm also not ok with the non existent nudity. If you're going to have hot chicks with skimpy outfits. Atleast go that route.
Hell Night is a slightly decent slasher and nothing more to me. I recommend this to the easily pleased and Linda Blair fans.
Summary of Hell Night
Is there a cheesier, funnier (without meaning to be) actress than Linda Blair? A victim of early Hollywood success with The Exorcist, she hit puberty, tried being a teen queen and a scream queen, and then hung around on the basis of the success of her first major role, exploring the limits of her talent in a series of sub-B movies. This 1981 film, about bad shenanigans during Pledge Week at college, wasn't exactly one of the high points. This surprisingly tedious venture features a group of fraternity and sorority pledges forced to spend the night in an abandoned--and, of course, haunted--mansion that once housed a killer. And would you be surprised to find out that it still does? The cast includes Vincent Van Patten and Peter Barton, as though that's an attraction. No scares, no skin--what's the point? --Marshall FineHorror DVD Video
