    This was one of the few early 80's slasher films that I never saw for whatever reason. This film, Curtains, Silent Scream and The Boogey Man are the biggies that I missed back in the day. Anyhows.... finally watched Hell Night. Enjoyed it. A few very inspired…

    Haunted gothic castle roaming 80’s Slasher with a decent enough villain and an awesome ending, unfortunately so much of Hell Night is bogged down by a lack of tension and slow pacing—especially in that second act. Happy that this hit blu a year or two ago and I was…

    If this wasn’t too long and too slow, it could have been alright. I mean the bones are there: vaguely annoying college kids forced to spend the night in a creepy old house with murder lore as part of an initiation test, and yet…it just kind of flubs it. There’s no real…

    When you start an 80s horror with a bomb Halloween party, blood red title font and a glorious opening song you've got my attention! I have been familiar with the poster art of Hell Night for many years and was always curious the movie itself. 80s horror has a way of…

    #SlasherSaturday Watching this, I was really hoping Seth was going to be the final girl. I should have know it would be the one and only Linda Blair though. (When the film first started, I thought for sure it was Stevie Nicks 😆). This was a pretty fun 80’s slasher complete…

    Not a very good slasher, since it lacks a lot of the genre's best qualities (a memorable killer, inventive kills/gore and nudity). It does take place at an atmospheric location, however, which is always fun. I still had a good time watching this with Michelle, despite it…

    Yeah, it starts slow. It can be predictable. But aesthetically it's cool, and the last quarter is so much fun. One of the best final girl kills in my opinion.

    35 In theory, a mix of William Castle movies and an early-80s Slasher film sounds like an instant classic, but Hell Night has about 25 minutes of filler added to an absurdly slow pace. By the time anything interesting happens, you're already checked out. Boring. Cool…

    This wasn’t my favorite. Serving extreme campy vibes but way too long. Could’ve cut out like 10-15 minutes of walking around for no reason and it would’ve been better

    Linda Blair is the only saving grace about this movie to give it a watch.

Hell Night is a relentlessly lackluster example of the Dead Teenager Movie.
