this have all the element of a bad horror movie and but unlike some so bad it good low budget fright flick and this one take itself seriously and therin lie the problem . i always say the sign of a bad horror movie be when you want every character to die and just so the movie can end . that be definitely the case with hell night . i be literally count how many character be still alive and so i would know how soon it will all be over . even at approximately an hour and 40 minute and i felt the film go on way too long . that go on to prove that a good movie be never too long and a bad movie be never too short . the acting be decent and though nothing special . but i would rather watch a fun horror flick with bad actor than a clunker like this with decent actor . this be the only movie and besides the exorcist and that i have see of linda blair . apparently and she make a consecutive series of bomb after gain fame from that debut role . aside from one excite scene where one of the character try to climb over a pointed gate and the movie be devoid of any real thrill . most of the scene be compose of character walk through dark location for about 5 minute before something actually happen . the movie itself have almost no originality . the score be cheesy and and so be the horrendously dated 80 hairstyle and wardrobe . even for low budget horror standard and this be one awful flick . my score represent 2 ( out of 10 ) .
