Ano Novo, Morte Nova

This is a terribly made movie. It does not introduce anyone in the movie. It jumps around too much and has no details in the movie. I would rather watch a kids show than this movie ever again.

This movie could had been a very good slasher. First there is known name in there like Christopher Judge (Stargate), William Baldwin, John Hennigan (Johny Mundo/Impact/Nitro from Wrestling) and a few others. I personally like Heather Paige Cohn that i seen before in those cheap (but fun for me) trashy comedies about fraternities and such. I think i seen her naked in all the movies i saw with her and this one is no exeption. She has a great body and its a slasher, so its fitting.

But alrght lets get down to the movie yes? So beside nudity what was good? The main killer design is pretty cool looking, he has that Jason vibe. The killer chick is alright altough very underused. There some cool shots in the woods and a few bloody kills.

The bad tough outweight the good and thats the issue. The pacing is not good, take way too much time to get going, when the killing start its fast and lack suspense and build. Its like all this time spent with the characters before was just to put a trope personality on them and thats it. Like i said above some kills are bloody and alright, but a lot are pretty basic and uninspired. The plot seem to be a bit too convulated and all over the place for what ultimately is a slasher movie. For instance there is a storm that is supose to come and thats why they are partying there but ultimately beside lightning shots you never see anything else to fit a "storm premise" wich i think the movie could have benefit from having. There is a few over the top foggy scenes (over the top as i never seen fog act this way in real life) for atmosphere but it does not convince much.

That said its alright for 1 watch on a late night, i saw it on Tubi so i didn't paid anything either (just had to watch a few ads) and it spent the time for that evening.

Not a must watch for any slasher fan, but not a terrible movie. The production quality is actually decent, i couldn't find the budget for it, but it does not look super cheaply made like some of those. I just think the director and writer were inexperienced and just pitched their idea on paper/camera thinking all a slasher need is a cool looking killer, nudity and bloody kills to be good.

Cheese filled masterpiece directed by the son of straight to video legend Fred Olen Ray.This is much better than some other ray Jr films such as Almighty Thor and Two headed shark attack.Has some fine nudity and gore.Also loved the fight scenes,reminded me of the 80s action/ horror crossover films

You are going to watch this movie to see boobs, blood and bad acting from actors who should be at the glue factory. This movie is in the bad but good bag category if you can watch b grade movies. Mr Haim and Fieldman would have done this movie on a bag of Bolivias finest and gone straight to VHS.

What the heck happened to Richard Grieco?

In a nutshell, bad acting sprinkled in between kills and the occasional thrill. By thrills I literally mean 3 pairs of to be honest nice breastesses throughout the first middle half of the 'movie'. The shower scene may as well have had a phone number to call now.

There are so many plot holes and poorly filmed/edited/special effects that this movie may as well have been about swiss cheese however there are moments of success however scattered through the madness.

Using the same driving footage 4 times in a row is sheer brilliance to confuse the viewer.

Man I wish i was a fly on the wall for casting

A group of friends gather for a new years eve celebration and are attacked by a mask clad psycho with insidious intentions. This surprisingly polished production, I'm sure was taken quite seriously when it was made. Especially by a plastered out Richard Grieco who plays the town sheriff. There's no real original thought here it's pretty basic and by the numbers. But the addition of unnecessary subplots and a lack of suspense or effective kills make things even worse. Despite some cool cover art and a screenplay that would have been better off it had stuck to the basics this film is a complete waste of energy.

*.5/5
