Hell of a Night

A spirit from a Ouija board is attacking people. Recovering from a tragedy, a college girl retreats to a remote isolated house. Two girls plot to steal from their friend.

It's a bunch of white girls in skimpy outfits acting in a flat horror. These girls all talk the same and their acting is mostly amateurish. I do really like the opening scene with the two girls in the closet. It has solid horror moves despite the amateur acting. Sadly, it's a long unceasing decline for the rest of the movie. My best guess is that the casting process is simply picking the cutest white girls from their head shots. Two of the leads are basically amateur actors. The filmmaking is poor, but this Brian Childs seems to be trying for some shots. The writing is not anywhere. This is a nothing horror.

This is not, despite how it sounds and sincere apologies if it comes over that way, meant in a malicious or with intention to offend way. Am actually saying this with regret, despite the low rating, deliberately didn't read any reviews for fairness sake, it was hard not to pass up anything that appeared in my more like this section while watching some low-budget horror films every now and again to distract me from my increasing anxiety and low moods. Curiosity drew me into seeing this.

'Hell of a Night' however really turned out to be that bad. Or should that be it really turned out to be that awful. Expectations were not exactly high for 'Hell of a Night', as the concept wasn't as attention grabbing or as promising as that for other films seen recently, but this was even worse than expected. Always look for at one good thing to say about bad or worse films, it takes a lot for me to say that something is irredeemably awful. Could find nothing however to say even remotely okay for 'Hell of a Night' and it is one of the worst recent examples of an irredeemably awful film.

It is amateur hour visually, haven't used this term very often recently but 'Hell of a Night' deserves it. The lighting and colour filtering was a major distraction and made me feel very exhausted and nauseous as an epileptic with no warning that the film would have that kind of lighting. The editing was reminiscent of someone inexperienced or had no familiarity with making things coherent. The sound is pretty much the same and the music couldn't have been more constantly misplaced and over-bearing if it tried.

As for the script, it didn't sound or seem like there was much of one at all. It sounds so awkward in both the dialogue and how everything flows, it sounded either made up on the spot or severely under-rehearsed. The story is all over the place, structurally (disjointed and muddled doesn't describe it), tonally (sounded like the writers were really struggling to find the right tone) and in pace which meanders non-stop. There is no tension or suspense whatsoever, and 'Hell of a Night' even fails abysmally in conveying any sense of dread or even any half-decent scare.

Direction is pretty much a hack job, very rarely use this term either as it sounds and is derogatory but am using it here because this film in all honesty made me very angry watching it because of its beyond redemption ineptitude. The style is a mess, the substance is completely non-existent and the atmosphere seems to had also gotten as completely lost as the coherence. Have seen better acting in nativity productions with no exceptions, and am not going to blame the annoying character writing or lack of sense or logic to behaviours on how bad the acting is, this is a rare case of it being because of complete lack of acting talent.

Summing up, absolutely awful. 1/10

My advice is that nobody watches this, except if you wanna see somewhat sexy girl and bit of typical horror behaviors such as of one underage girl who was bit of cool. We could see various stuff of attractive girl like ass, armpits, stomach, screaming, ripping clothes, almost sexual abuse, sexy voice, sweet behavior. Also if you like modern age, you will see our typical environment and behaviors and talk, which I would call good environment. But everything else (95 to 99%) is so bad. Behavior of girls is annoying, too much evil, abuse (including sexual), fake, predictable, no real or convincing story, explanation, details. Behavior of girls was not smart or reasonable but too predictable and like of a kids. I am disappointed. Actors look like canadian.

This movie is plain and simple garbage. The acting was the worst I've seen in a very long time. The music was a complete joke with the worst editing I have ever seen. The lighting was horrendous with bright red, greens and yellows in nearly every scene, just so over bearing. For a horror there was not a single scary scene, not even 1 Jump scare. The story is all over the place. Im trying to think of 1 Good thing to say about this movie..... oh hold on, the end credits. How this is 5.4 rating on here is beyond me. Watch at your own peril

I have no words for that movie! Waste of time!!the plot was a mess,the actors as well!! Despite the fact that I have read the reviews of the others I was curious to watch it! Unfortunately they were right and it was totally waste of time!!
