Product Description

Product Description

Four college pledges are forced to spend the night in a deserted old mansion where they get killed off one by one by the monstrous surviving members of a family massacre years earlier for trespassing on their living grounds.

From Amazon.co.uk

Hell Night, a horror film originally made in 1981, is not remotely frightening unless, that is, you are plagued with a pathological aversion to leaden scripts, rampant overacting and cheap special effects; but it is just about knowing enough to be charming, and retains a (very) slight kitsch appeal.

The plot--in the loose sense of the word--sees a group of picturesque young college kids compelled, for some reason or other, to spend a night in a haunted house (you can just picture the high fives at the script meeting when some genius came up with that one). Some other college kids try to scare them by way of a prank, but it turns out that something evil really is loose on the premises, and events unfold with entrancing predictability.

On the DVD: Hell Night is presented in widescreen, and has been digitally remastered. Special features include brief biographies of actor Linda Blair, director Tom De Simone and producers Irwin Yablans and Bruce Cohn Curtis, as well as the option to watch the film with commentary provided by the four. The original cinema and television trailers for Hell Night are also included.--Andrew Mueller --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 starsA night to dismember
By Jeremy W. Newbould on 20 April 2010
Format: DVD
Four college students have to spend a night in Garth Manor, a house with a gruesome history attached to it, as part of their initiation into the Alpha Sigma Rho fraternity. Their fellow students set up a few pranks to scare the Hell out of them but then things turn nasty when a crazed killer turns up and starts bumping people off for real.

As far as 1980s "stalk 'n' slash" movies go, "Hell Night" isn't too bad at all. It may not be as violent or as inventive as some other films of this type but the story is pretty good and the film provides quite a few shocks along the way. It's certainly a lot better than most of the "Friday The 13th" movies. I actually cared about some of the characters in "Hell Night" and I hoped that they would survive their ordeal. The welcome presence of Linda Blair from "The Exorcist" is one of the film's assests.

This special collector's edition DVD release from Prism Leisure is a neat little package as it gives us the film in its original 1.85:1 ratio with 22 chapters and some extras including a trailer, tv spots and a commentary track featuring Linda Blair, the director Tom DeSimone and producers Irwin Yablans and Bruce Cohn Curtis.

If you haven't seen "Hell Night", and you love 1980s horror films featuring horny teens in peril, then you ought to check out this DVD.

4.0 out of 5 starsA time-stamped minor classic
By Moto Moto on 10 Feb. 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Firstly, I wish they'd stop reissuing this film with tinkered artwork. The original 80s poster was perfect as it was, with Linda Blair at the gates of spooky Garth Manor.

Hell Night is a largely forgotten member of the original slasher movie cycle from 1980-81. Unlike much of its brethren, it's a moderate affair in both violence and production. It's cheap and it's surprisingly cheerful, with humour and well-drawn characters (for this type of film, at least) pitting their wits against a crazy killer who "haunts" the reportedly abandoned mansion house where they're to stay one night in order to gain entry to the best Fraternity/Sorority on campus.

Naturally, nothing goes as planned and teens start finding themselves beheaded, impaled, stabbed and snapped like twigs until Linda Blair's sensible final girl is the only one left to battle the deformed psychopath who wants her as a ceiling decoration.

These days, a film this plodding wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of any success, it's simply too much of a slow-burn affair that the Saw generation would gawk at in disbelief that it takes almost half an hour for someone to die.

However, the gothic, Hammer-feel to things works wonders with the minimalistic plotting. Candles, secret passages and period costumes only magnify the sense of hopelessness that surrounds the stranded teenagers as their numbers dwindle.

If you like Hallowee, Terror Train, Prom Night, Happy Bithday to Me, My Bloody Valentine and their ilk (let's exclude the remakes), then this is a worthy addition to your collection.

4.0 out of 5 starsVery good movie but slashers as a rule of thumb should never be this long
By Colonel Decker on 19 Jan. 2016
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Hell Night came out bang in the prime of slasher movies, often referered to as the golden year- 1981. Thankfully despite some of the dross it was up against, Hell Night is one of the better movies. Decent acting, some interesting character arcs put this one into the same quality slasher group as HOUSE ON SORIORITY ROW and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. Linda Blair and her friends need to complete a pledge for their initiation, so they have to spend the night in a supposedly haunted mansion. You can guess the rest.

It should be noted though that the acting carries this movie through and there are some genuinely brilliant creepy scenes set up carefully by the director Tom DeSimone who will probably be best remembered for this softcore adult movies from the 1970s. One of the producers is Chuck Russell who would go on to have a very successful career in Hollywood in producing and directing.

The only problem with the movie is that at times it is slow. Any slasher movie that runs over the 90 min mark and alarm bells should be ringing, some of the great ones have and suffered a little from this. It's not enough to damage the movie but filler scenes never help.

If you're getting Hell Night then this is the edition to get, Region 1, great picture, postcard inside and commentary including Blair herself.

2.0 out of 5 starsPurgatory Night
By angie winspur on 15 Jun. 2014
Format: DVD
Presumably the producers of this low-budget would-be shocker hired Linda Blair because a: she was the biggest star they could afford (everyone else involved is strictly a no-namer), and b: they hoped her status as the exorcist demon would pull in a few more punters. The trouble is that although Blair was in her early 20's when this was made, she looks about 10 years younger and therefore totally ludicrous as part of the college gang partying it up at the start of the film - she should have long-since been tucked away in bed by the baby-sitter! There's also at least half an hour of (In order) mindless teen larks, boring exposition and tedious mild petting before anything remotely scary happens: that's when the first victim (whose English accent is only slighty less diabolical than her wooden acting) is dispatched in a manner that is so cheap effects-wise that the scene can only last for less than a second. They could get away with it before home video replay was invented, but not now. Maybe it gets really bloody after that, but I wasn't prepared to waste any more of my time finding out...

Okay, it's an oldie, but it's still good. In my opinion it still beats some of the modern so-called horror films which I find myself laughing at as they are so stupid. Read more
