Review – Halloween Night

The box sells this as a “true story” rework of John Carpenter’s classic (though of course without making claims that would lead to copyright infringement suits). It’s Halloween. A lunatic escapes from an asylum. He returns to the house where he used to live. It’s full of young people partying and having sex. He kills most of them. There the similarity ends. The production values are limited; the “high points” are mostly gore and softcore. And the script and acting are so terrible that at times it almost seems like they’re shooting for a semi-documentary feel. Overall this turns out to be exactly what one would expect from a movie that starts out with a brutal rape scene. Wish I’d skipped it
