Format:DVD
I was greatly surprised with this film, as i'am a fan of all classic horror and have seen practically everything from the 70's and 80s i was expecting this film to be another remake of a classic b movie which does not live upto its predecessor which tends to have no basis or apparent reason for it being remade in the first place....How wrong i was!
So i was greatly surprised this only followed the original films story very loosely, i also liked the music throughout the film i also enjoyed the characters for some reason..i didn't think that they were as irritating as they could have been...although a bit predictable when the action started the film carried its pace to the end, i thought the actors where performing well and i thought the effects where more than addequate.
The way i approached this film was ...Think of this as another sequel but in a different light...its a different house...a different story and the demons are quite different to the other films.
On an end note i did actually prefur this film to the original...i thought that it was a superior film in means of the acting the effects the story had a little more thought put into it and also the budget was there to make this film succeed in the way it did.
although this is still a throughback to 80's horror genre...so i would definately watch if your that sorte of fan, but don't expect something knew here for the modern horror fan.

*** mild spoilers ***
Having just recently watched the Night of the Demons trilogy I was interested to see how this re-imagining of the original movie worked. Although neither of the two later movies of the first tales matched the original they worked reasonably well as a very loose trilogy with Amelia Kinkade's Angela character as the lynchpin.
The start is completely different, as the back story set in 1925 New Orleans at the Broussard Mansion briefly shows, rushing straight into modern times and Halloween night and as the streets are filled with costumed merry makers celebrating a group of your regular college types get an invite from Angela Feld (Shannon Elizabeth) to a Halloween party at the old Broussard place, along with gatecrasher Colin (Edward Furlong).
As Angela encourages the revellers to lose their inhibitions the party is raided by the police leaving a group 7 inside to carry on. Exploring the house they discover some literally hidden skeletons and when one of the group is bitten the possessions start and from hereon in gets quite hectic with some decent gore scenes and effective demon make up. There's a couple of twists along the way as the cast numbers start to drop; who, if anyone, will survive?.
What raised this movie above the normal 2-3 star monster mash for me were the allusions to the original movies, from Linnea Quigley recreating her memorable appearance in the first movie, to an updated version of the "lipstick" scene albeit with added grossness and some more in your face sexy cat costumes as opposed to the tamer, albeit cuter, one Patricia Rodriguez wore in NotD3.
There's an informative 18 minute or so behind the scenes featurette and a commentary featuring Writer Director Adam Gierasch, and co-writer Jace Anderson as well as a few cast members.
Not to everyone's taste but I liked it.

Format:Blu-ray
This film was never meant to be taken seriously. its fun, rude and silly.
The gore is quite tame, and its not scary. Its more of a 'teen' horror. Full of boobs and girls.
The story line isn't a carbon copy of the original (which is a far superior film) and i was pleased to see they'd made it they're own film.
Dont spend more than 7 or 8 quid on this
This is a bit of friday nite fun with a few beers

Dull and Disappointing movie
This is a pretty dull and depressing movie, in the final instance it pulls its punches from what could have made it a passable "grim twist" horror flick. Read more
