Leave your thoughts about Hell Night.
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonIn that rare company of slasher films that aren't just good by the standards of their subgenre, but manage to round the corner to being legitimately good works of horror cinema. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergQuaintly entertaining combination of slasher stuff and haunted mansion material. |
| Juicy CerebellumAlex SandellHell Night brought out the gimp at least a decade before Pulp Fiction was even a twinkle in Quentin Tarantino's eye. |
| The New York TimesJohn CorryHell Night is not so bad as it might be. It is not so good as it might be, either, but remember that it is a horror film. As the popular culture declines, the horror film declines with it, and whereas the horror film was once spooky, now it is nauseating, measured by the barf, rather than the shiver. Hell Night, however, is only about half a barf, an improvement, therefore, over its kind. |
| Under the RadarAustin TrunickThis particular slasher set itself apart from the era's deluge of them by being somewhat of a genre-mashup with an old school haunted house movie ... you practically expect Vincent Price to step out and reveal himself from behind a curtain. |
| The Blu SpotJeff BeckHell Night may have an intriguing set-up, but ultimately it suffers from bland execution and a rather uneventful narrative, which results in just another forgettable slasher from the 80s. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertHell Night is a relentlessly lackluster example of the Dead Teenager Movie. |
| User ReviewBlane SLinda Blair is on this one I think I can be wrong but it good scary movie. |
| User ReviewMeLany CLove it. Linda Blair wow she knows how to act. Scary movies are her specialty. |
| User ReviewJeff La horror film straight from my childhood oh man growing up in the 90's living in my household u would have had a horror film festival and this one here would start it off, The storyline was ok characters were good, and it's not gory, the best part of all is it relied heavely on the story and not the killings. |
