Product Description
Long Island, 1978: A young girl named Mary Mattock gruesomely murders her family with a hatchet and is locked away for life in Long Island s notorious Kings Park Psychiatric Center. Ten years later, Mary escapes from the asylum, leaving a grizzly trail of bodies and blood in her wake. Gunned down by the police, Mary meets her own demise outside the sanitorium walls. This incident gave birth to the legend of Mary Hatchet s walking ghost and the mischievous night named in honour of her death, BLOOD NIGHT! Stemming from this real-life legend, Blood Night: The Legend of Mary Hatchet tells the tale of a group of teenagers enjoying their annual Blood Night festivities, when they come face to face with the reality of this haunting legend. One by one, the teenagers begin to disappear and meet their fate. As the body count rises, so do the unanswered questions about their missing friends and the secrets of Mary s horrifying past. Is there more to this legend than the vengeful ghost of Mary Hatchet? And if so, who will survive to tell the terrifying tale?

Outside of the rare slasher movies that try adding a new slant to the formula, there's basically two kinds of slasher films; those that half-heartedly go through the motions of something that has already been done, and those where the people behind the movie realized because they're working on something done many times before, they had better find a way their movie could stand out.
Blood Night is the latter.
With its reasonably short runtime (after the prologue the main section of the movie is about 65 minutes long), high body count and various methods of dispatching the victims this movie definitely succeeds in being the mindless entertainment you'd expect from a film who's cover features the words "kick ass" or "slasher movie" (modern slasher film anyway - it takes real talent to produce a genuinely scary version of a heavily used plot).
Speaking of scares... well, the movie isn't scary, but does achieve the atmosphere levels you'd expect from a haunted house attraction, or possibly a spooky Halloween party or something. I understand why Gorezone started their Weekend of Horror 2010 this this, because it definitely sets the right mood for a horror-oriented event.

This is a low budget horror flick with style! The story is actually pretty good with classic beyond the grave theme but with a few added twists to make it unique, the cast is ok, your usual teen fodder for the killer who in this case is Mary hatchet who is a great character with a very disturbing background! Theres plents of quality gore all done in the classic oldskool splatter way! Scream queen Danielle Harris stars in this too which also makes it awesome as she is great, overall if your big into horror then you should certainly be entertained by this!!

The film has a very long prologue which establishes the back story and which is fairly unpleasant but again, not particularly original, then it has the standard "let's get to know the teens" section, which was basically boring and lost it a star, then the denouement with the killer going on a rampage killing them off with glee and speed in wonderfully gory ways.
It was almost like three short films by three different directors loosely connected by the thin plot. The final third is by far the best if you like slasher films because it's just running around, screaming, killing and mayhem.
Good points -- the last twenty or so minutes more than makes up for the rest of its shortcomings and pedestrian direction. The killings are occasionally imaginative but always gruesome. Revealing the identity of the killer well before the end of the film is less common in the genre and works well in this film. Also good to see Danielle Harris cast against type -- I'll say no more -- watch it and see what I mean.
Bad points -- some of the dialogue is really lame. It's very predictable and formulaic -- teens commemorate a massacre and get bumped off and the first ones to have sex with each other are the first to die etc etc.
Other - The characters aren't particularly developed or particularly likeable but at least that helps you deal with the carnage bestowed upon them.
If you want a bit of mindless violence, sex and lame teen dialogue, then it's worth checking out. i wasn't sure what it would be like but it was cheap so I took a chance and overall I'm glad I did.

This is a poor film. Even for a horror film fan (which I regard myself to be), there is nothing of interest; no original ideas, no inventiveness in the filmmaking. Read more

Good job it was cheap.
The film starts ok, its one of those films where it gets silly. I had to watch the whole film to see if i got the right suspect. My son however fell asleep.

Good fun, but forgettable.
I'm going to plonk myself firmly in the middle of the two other reviews here (one 5* and one 1* at the time of writing). Read more

Awful
Unless you like silly nonsense full of teenagers go ahead! Far too much blood making it so unreallistic. Very predictable, boring, unimaginative and common.
