Local teens have long commemorated the death of 'Mary Hatchet' - a girl who took an ax and killed her family in the 1970s - with the aptly named Blood Night. But things never got truly bloody until Mary's ghost decided to make an appearance. Dead bodies are piling up, and Mary seems to be calling the shots. But there are secrets about her past that have yet to be uncovered.

Dreadfully Boring

RipDelight

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Another boring slasher, filmed on the cheap and in the dark, about a sinister legend and a dysfunctional killer working their way through a cast of irritating characters. Like the HATCHET series (which is much more fun, incidentally), BLOOD NIGHT casts the likes of Danielle Harris and go-to guy Bill Moseley in various parts to appeal to the fans, but this is very weak sauce indeed.The trouble with BLOOD NIGHT is that it's just so darn derivative. There's extreme gore and gruesome murders right from the outset, but nothing else. No suspense sequences, no characterisation, no interesting turns of plot or story development. The stark, dark look of almost all the scenes makes it a film that's rather depressing to watch, as is the tired signposting of the repetitive kill scenes. Speaking as a slasher fan, there's very little to enjoy here at all.

Attempting to celebrate the grisly legacy of a notorious killer, a group of friends find their party interrupted by the spirit of the famous killer and must find a way of stopping the carnage before it's too late.This turned out to be quite the fun and enjoyable old-school slasher with a lot to really like about it. The fact that this certainly dwells in all the old familiar trappings of the style, with the group of horny, alcoholic-infused teens trying to celebrate the legacy of a brutal mass murder with a wild party is straight from the play-book of the time and certainly adds to the retro feel in here by playing off the past's successes for it's own. That certainly puts this as a rather fun and grisly slasher when this one gets going here as the final half to this one really utilizes the stalk-and-slash formulas quite well by focusing on the slashing around the house before heading out to other areas around the community and finally settling on the abandoned hospital at the end where it really unleashes the carnage with a multitude of spectacular, gruesome deaths that amp up the blood-letting considerably as a slew of impressive deaths are dished out. There's also great use of the setting here to actually maximize the suspense factor apart from the killings so that there's a great deal of stalking being used to great effect within this and making for a rather enjoyable finale that really helps to add to the old-school feel here. There's a few nagging issues with this one, mainly the fact that the film never really gives too much information about the characters so that it's nearly impossible to know who's-who when the slashing starts. Often-times, it seems like a character simply thrown in to serve as cannon-fodder and it's only later that you realize they've been around since the beginning of the film. As well, you may not get a name to a character until they stumble upon the body and cry out over who just got killed which is a big nagging issue. This is surprising since the beginning to this really could've made a bigger deal about this issue but seems far too focused on other areas so that there's not a lot of time spent dealing with the characters while not really engaging in a lot of slashing with most of these kills happening off-screen only to finally see how it all happened in the flashback at the end which is quite a cheat. These factors do end up making it slightly lower than it should've been, but overall it's still quite fun.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Continuous Full Nudity, Graphic Language, several strong sex scenes, a rape and pervasive drug use.

This is another low budget slasher that follows a well trodden path. It's not a particularly well done one either but is at least passable for it's genre type. It's the usual dose of nudity, booze and unlikable characters being butchered. The characters are all strangely bland as usually even in cheap horror films there is nearly always one decent character. Maybe it's because the cast of intended victims is higher than the usual slasher but whatever the reason you are almost cheering on the killer. The acting is pretty poor and the camera-work is a bit too shaky for my taste. However this is not a total write-off. There is plenty of gore and it does have a few squeamish moments and also has a few unintentional? laughs. This is by no means a good film but is watchable and that's really as much as you can hope for when you choose to watch a film like this.

OK, you have been warned, SPOILER, now twice...I got to see this cause everyone was buzzing about it. I also try to get movies with my favourite b actress. Well girls you can recognize there face from elsewhere.Now i got to say, this movie have Gorgeous girls in it. The 2 chicks Nicole and Jen are just super hot, the blond one is not bad either, the sexy scene are... SEXY AS HELL.The whole premise of the story is really nice, and i tough from the start this could be another "Night of the living dead" type of movie, except you replace Halloween by Blood Night....But there is a huge problem with this movie, the deaths and the gore... which in an horror movie... is really a big problem. I don't know what they where thinking... If you don't have the budget, then get softer deaths, or try to make it looks funny like in Hatchet or NOTD... It seems to me this movie took itself seriously, but the death scenes seems so fake... I enjoyed the plot and all, but every time somebody died i was like... DUH??? LOL Then one of the most hilarious(in a bad way) scene of the movie is that you get that 5 foot little girl with a pick axe and a couple "somewhat" huge guys and a couple girls just scream and start running... MAN... cmon, your seven... yet you can't take down a girl with a pick axe... She don't have a chainsaw... ONLY A PICK AXE.Well i guess you gotta take this movie for what it is, a cheap B slasher movie, and i got to say i saw worst than this, and the atmosphere and places where nice, i just wish the story would make a bit more sense, like explaining why Mary got crazy and why her daughter was the same especially since they never saw each other... and also that the death scenes would be better done... its one thing to show a tons of gore and doing it properly.Overall it was decent... but i don't why it get so much buzz around it. I couldn't decide between a 6 or a 7, would be more of a 6.5, but hey I'm fair play and ill give it a 7, i was not bored at least, i just which they would work the deaths better
