Heelllllll niiiiiiiggghhttt woooooo yeahhhhh! ahem... Hell Night is from 81 and stars Linda Blair... for those of you who are a total backwards fools who loves movies like Blair Witch Project... she was Regan in the Exorcist movies... they did quite well back in the day! Her main male co-star in this sorority horror backfire movie is Peter Barton, who looks like the bastard son of Jared Leto and the guy who played Superboy in the series no one ever remembers... Whose other only notable work was in Friday 13th: The Final Chapter!
This movie starts how more movies should start... with a wet t-shirt contest, I think they should have worked more on that scene at the begining, something they only touched on... I feel it was a bit of a mistake.
OK OK! SO... This movie centres around a sorority night initiation that goes horribly wrong! Four hapless pledges have to spend the night at a creepy old mansion where years before a father went insane and killed his deformed family, mother, two sisters and two sons! But the derangedfather left the son who didnt speak, just grunted all the time, he wanted him to suffer and be alone! But when the cops turned up they only found three bodies! The father and son left alive had disapeared... but surely this still leaves another body missing... or am i counting wrong! Anyone else notice this bit of bad math within the movie. Sorry... Yeah so the kids have to spend the night in this house, all the while outside the head members of the sorority play horrible tricks on them, which they get wise too very quickly, and then quickly pair off in two couples.
But whilst the sorority members are sneaking round the house they get picked off one by one by the now older and insane son! Which then only leaves the teens within the house, as they start getting killed they realise that this is no joke and something fucked up is going on! Will they survive the night... well i'm sure you can guess Linda Blair gives it a good shot!
The movie is a fun early 80's horror movie, don't expect too much or nudity... which is probably why it gets a little lost when thought of againts early 80's classics when it has to go up against the 'Burnings' and 'Friday 13ths' of this world.
