Synopsis

Local teens have long commemorated the death of 'Mary Hatchet' - a girl who took an ax and killed her family in the 1970s - with the aptly named Blood Night. But things never got truly bloody until Mary's ghost decided to make an appearance. Dead bodies are piling up, and Mary seems to be calling the shots. But there are secrets about her past that have yet to be uncovered.

Scarecrow-88 Pick axe, hammer tail, chopping ax, and scissors all get a piece of the action as the twentieth anniversary of Mary Hatchet's death and burial is ghoulishly celebrated by high school brats looking to get wasted and laid on what they call the festive occasion, Blood Night. The usual slasher murders and attractive folks meeting their end when a killer surprises them unexpectedly or after separating in a panic. Bill Moseley and Danielle Harris pick up easy paychecks as caretaker (named Graveyard Gus) of the cemetery where Mary's body lies and college student (nicknamed Mouse) who shows up for the night party because her best friend is there. Although the film hints at Mary being resurrected because the stupid kids concoct a Ouija session at her gravesite, the murders, for the most part, are shot in a way to create reasonable doubt because the killer isn't shown...if it was Mary, why not just show her laying waste to the kids? Heads split and gush, not to mention, get lopped off. The twist involving the killer might be easy for those who have seen their fill of these, if not because he or she is so out of place and doesn't quite fit with the rest of the kids. The constant mentioning of the baby supposedly dead and buried elsewhere from Mary is obvious groundwork laid for the conclusion. Moseley is cast in a rare hero part, and he seeks to bury child with Mother in the hopes of Mary going away for good...when he and the kids go through the records in the old mental asylum they're in for quite a surprise! Nothing new to see here, but fans of the slasher might be more forgiving. Some sexy girls in the cast, especially Maryam Basir. Drunk teenager antics and horndog behavior galore. Mary Hatchet when shown is often nude with the bullet hole still showing on her forehead. Moseley gets to tell a ghost story to the gathered high school kids around Mary's grave.
Leofwine_draca Another boring slasher, filmed on the cheap and in the dark, about a sinister legend and a dysfunctional killer working their way through a cast of irritating characters. Like the HATCHET series (which is much more fun, incidentally), BLOOD NIGHT casts the likes of Danielle Harris and go-to guy Bill Moseley in various parts to appeal to the fans, but this is very weak sauce indeed.The trouble with BLOOD NIGHT is that it's just so darn derivative. There's extreme gore and gruesome murders right from the outset, but nothing else. No suspense sequences, no characterisation, no interesting turns of plot or story development. The stark, dark look of almost all the scenes makes it a film that's rather depressing to watch, as is the tired signposting of the repetitive kill scenes. Speaking as a slasher fan, there's very little to enjoy here at all.
GL84 Attempting to celebrate the grisly legacy of a notorious killer, a group of friends find their party interrupted by the spirit of the famous killer and must find a way of stopping the carnage before it's too late.This turned out to be quite the fun and enjoyable old-school slasher with a lot to really like about it. The fact that this certainly dwells in all the old familiar trappings of the style, with the group of horny, alcoholic-infused teens trying to celebrate the legacy of a brutal mass murder with a wild party is straight from the play-book of the time and certainly adds to the retro feel in here by playing off the past's successes for it's own. That certainly puts this as a rather fun and grisly slasher when this one gets going here as the final half to this one really utilizes the stalk-and-slash formulas quite well by focusing on the slashing around the house before heading out to other areas around the community and finally settling on the abandoned hospital at the end where it really unleashes the carnage with a multitude of spectacular, gruesome deaths that amp up the blood-letting considerably as a slew of impressive deaths are dished out. There's also great use of the setting here to actually maximize the suspense factor apart from the killings so that there's a great deal of stalking being used to great effect within this and making for a rather enjoyable finale that really helps to add to the old-school feel here. There's a few nagging issues with this one, mainly the fact that the film never really gives too much information about the characters so that it's nearly impossible to know who's-who when the slashing starts. Often-times, it seems like a character simply thrown in to serve as cannon-fodder and it's only later that you realize they've been around since the beginning of the film. As well, you may not get a name to a character until they stumble upon the body and cry out over who just got killed which is a big nagging issue. This is surprising since the beginning to this really could've made a bigger deal about this issue but seems far too focused on other areas so that there's not a lot of time spent dealing with the characters while not really engaging in a lot of slashing with most of these kills happening off-screen only to finally see how it all happened in the flashback at the end which is quite a cheat. These factors do end up making it slightly lower than it should've been, but overall it's still quite fun.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Continuous Full Nudity, Graphic Language, several strong sex scenes, a rape and pervasive drug use.
donnaplus3-9-336104 When I First Saw The Preview I Thought It Was Going To Be Good. And Which It Did It's A Shame I Didn't See Danielle Harris In The Preview. She Took Forever To Be In A Scene. I Didn't Know Danielle Harris Character Of Alissa Was Going To Be The Killer. I Thought It Was Mary Hatchet The Whole Time. However Mary Hatchet Did Kill A Few People In The Film. While Her Daughter Does The Rest. But This Is Still A Great Film Definitely Must See For Horror Fans. It Has Amount Of Nudity Gore Language Drug Content/Alcohol Content/Sexual Content. Please Check Out This Film Again For Those Who Didn't Like The Film Just Please Watch It Again. Just To See That It Is A Great Horror Slasher Film.
