Lawbolisted Powerful
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
quridley While more than a little inspired by Return of the Living Dead and The Evil Dead, NOTD is a very well-made, fun and clever 80s movie. Director Kevin S. Tenney gives the somewhat predictable action a post-modernist twist; succeeding in spoofing tropes and breaking expectations. Think the same style of Alred Hitchcock, Brian DePalma or Quentin Tarantino, but given to teenage slasher movies: a zippy humorous script, offensive humor, racial and gender subtext, vulgar sexual references, a paced and well-structured story and lots of camera tricks. Its style over substance popcorn filmmaking that is more about showing something than saying anything. A very fun time.
loomis78-815-989034 A bunch of friends get an invitation from Angela (Kinkade) to attend a Halloween party at Hull House a possessed building and formal funeral home. After each character shows you what a complete asshole they are, some jerk suggests a séance. Soon after they start becoming slobbering demons and turn each other into demons. Director Kevin S. Tenney proved he can make a scary low budget horror film with "Witchboard" but this one keeps missing the mark despite having a decent set up. The elements are all present, Halloween night, a possessed ex funeral home and demons, how did they mess it up? Screenwriter Joe Augustyn delivers such annoying and unlikable characters you could care less what happens to them. The dialog is mostly pitiful and the movie never gets serious enough to be scary. Steve Johnson delivers some nice make up and gore but it is wasted on the lousy plotting. Not near enough is made of it being Halloween which could have really helped the atmosphere. The movie is lit very harshly with Director of Photography David Lewis just washing out the darkness with overflowing light that kills most of the outdoor scenes. The movie has a cult following which I can't figure out why?
lone-wolf-007 Night of the Demons is a classic case of a cheesy gory 80s horror movie that may seem slightly dated but still maintains its entertainment factor. A bunch of teens decided to party at Hull House, a funeral home that happens to be the sight of several evil things throughout the years. Kick in a séance and before you know it a demon is summoned and starts possessing and turning the others into demons. Simple premise but it works. The effects are good, there is plenty of TnA and the opening theme that plays over the credits is awesome. They just don't make them like this anymore. Get your invite and attend this party. Its a fun and entertaining movie as long as you don't take it too seriously.
gwnightscream This 1988 horror film stars Cathy Podewell, Amelia Kinkade, Linnea Quigley, Alvin Alexis, Allison Barron, Lance Fenton, Bill Gallo, Hal Havins, Philip Tanzini and Jill Terashita. This takes place on Halloween night where teenage girl, Jill (Podewell) and her friends, Roger (Alexis), Helen (Barron), Jay (Fenton), Sal (Gallo), Stooge (Havins), Max (Tanzini) and Frannie (Terashita) have a private party at an abandoned mortuary, "Hull House." Kinkade plays Angela and Quigley (Return of the Living Dead) plays Suzanne who throw the party for them. Soon, they summon a demonic spirit which possesses them one by one. This isn't a bad 80's horror flick that sort of pays tribute to "The Evil Dead" & "The Legend of Hell House" with an eerie score and good make-up effects. If you enjoy 80's horror, I recommend this.
