Fuga do Hospício

Awesome B movie, you will laugh, and great memories of the 80's, April 27, 2010 By Lynette R. Alba - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Night of Terror (DVD) This movie was a spoof parody of how the B movies were made. The random dialect will keep you laughing through out. Me and my two older children had the best evening together watching and laughing, all the music is an original score. Little creepy. Buy it watch it. If you like B movies that remind you of your youth, you will be a happy purchaser.

Story line is about mad scientists performing brain surgery on unsuspecting patients and turning them into trained killers. Can the teenagers, the psychic, the nurse, the doctors, the patients, the party guests, the rock band and the street people all survive this haunted night of terror? Probably not many!

I have seen many bad horror movies,but "Night of Terror" is easily among the worst horror movies of 80's.The action takes place in a mental hospital full of mentally challenged patients.Renee Harmon is constantly hallucinating and her visions are taken from "Frozen Scream".There's also a creepy doctor,Harmon talking with a thick German accent,a ghost,some teenagers,a Gypsy psychic,some hooded assailants ala Sunn O))),a masked psycho killer and a melting living corpse.Utterly incomprehensible and amateurish piece of crap with enough weirdness to satisfy fans of low-budget trash.After watching this movie you will never be the same and you will never want to see Felix Girard use any kind of storytelling device ever again.3 out of 10.Only for the lovers of extremely BAD cinema.

I'll also add for the fans of cheesy 80's horror, absolutely nudity or gore (save for the final five minutes) either! The only enjoyable part of this film is a two minute scene towards the end that's slightly trippy and features the film's only gore/effects moment. That could work out totally fine if this film was an enjoyable slow burn, but that it is far from. With everything you had to suffer through just to get that one cool scene, who cares?!

Where to begin on this one... There seems to be about seven or eight subplots going at once, none of them interesting. It mainly follows around a woman who's trying to decide whether or not she's still crazy. And man, does she like to talk! The movie is compromised mainly of endless dialogue scenes, occasionally jumping into a random 80's dance party featuring a live band for several minutes. We're also treated to random cuts into stock footage (with a MAJOR jump in quality) of another film featuring the same lead actress. I originally thought this footage was going to pan out and it would be playing on a TV or something. Nope. Supposedly it's the character's "visions". Cool.

About the only thing that saved this movie from being a total dud was that scene mentioned before, and the fact I got a kick out of all the bad acting and dialogue; the teenagers in particular. I normally love everything Massacre Video puts out, but you can definitely skip this one. You know, unless you're like me and have to seek out every single bad horror movie ever made.
