'Hell Night' (1981) -  Tom DeSimone.

While being one of the better known early 80s slasher-a-thons, 'Hell Night' doesn't seem to enjoy quite the same prestige as the oft-mentioned 'My Bloody Valentine', 'April Fool's Day' or 'Prom Night', which, perhaps, is primarily due to the fact that, as yet, 'Hell Night' hasn't been re-made/re-duxed/regurgitated/re-franchised into cinematic redundancy! Having thus far maintained its uniquely 80s grooviness, Tom DeSimone's 'Hell Night' remains a screamingly shuddersome haunted house hack-fest! Much of the film's prodigious affability coming from the amiable cast, with the gorgeous scream dream, Linda Blair being a sympathetic protagonist, a spunky, big-lunged screamer well worth rooting n' tooting for!

The plot is yet another cobwebby iteration of ye olde pie-eyed pledges spending the fateful night within a derelict, doomily dilapidated, bobby trapped manor. Garth Manor being replete with its very own incumbent, catacomb-dwelling lunatic! Slashers aren't known for their highfalutin' plotting, the genre's lack of invention is frequently compensated with a joyful abundance of delicious-looking terror tarts! The most heavenly 3 Bs of the bloody killer-Bs, the sweetly salacious, hack n' slash cocktail of bodacious babes, bouncin' boobs and bloody gore! Rarely has this buxom B-Movie maxim been more fulsomely represented than the pulchritudinous pair of top-heavy screamers, sultry, Suki Goodwin and luxuriously luscious, Linda Blair!

It was all frothy fratboy frolics and boozy badinage until our lovable trou'-dropping pledges become the perfectly perky prey of the infamously inbred, inane catacomb-crawling, corpse-collecting, sick-headed progeny of the misbegotten Grant family! If you haven't as yet experienced the lewd delights of lude-dropping, heroically head-chopping terror of 'Hell Night' it's long overdue that you do. Should you have the goodly fortune to survive your stab-happy sojourn in ghoulishly terror-stalked Garth Manor please keep the film's more diabolical secrets to yourself, as next year's pledges must also pay their deadly dues!
