Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

OK. So maybe my bar is set a bit low when it comes to movies I have never heard about that involve home invasion and murderous stalkers. But really, did anyone really expect the next Clockwork Orange? The opening set-up -- with a loving couple brutally murdered -- could have been transplanted from any one of dozens of similar movies. Then, spin forward maybe ten years to a father and daughter who (as usual) appear to have suffered from a failure by their real estate agent to fully disclose the history of the house and the strange but predictable oddity that the murderers appear to convey with the mansion from owner to owner as if they are a couple of lawnmowers in the garage. But aside from the cat and mouse and the chases through the house, I do not remember seeing any movie of this type with a better script and better performances -- particularly by Noell Coet. Ms. Coet quite simply nails the role of a young blind girl who, while suffering the loss of sight following an auto accident that took her mother's life, still has a spirit and attitude that makes her extremely fun to watch. Most believable is her talking to herself as one might if they lacked the ability to see. As with so many movies of this type, loose ends abound. But I recommend hanging with this one, particularly with the performance of Noell Coet.

I see people criticizing the fact that it looks a lot like The Purge, and I got to say, it's false! Only people that aren't too much into horror could say this, because let's face it, are all haunted houses movies the same?!? And if you wanna find some similarities, trust me, it goes a lot better hand in hand with When a stranger calls, the remake. Same atmosphere, same idea and other things that lookalike.Anyway, Mischief Night is one bad movie, and it all starts with the scrip. How could they pass this and send it on the big screens? If you wanna talk about all the things you've seen a million times in other horrors, well, all the bad parts are right here. I really think they focused on this, trying to relate to others, and they did, sure, they managed to make another horrible movie. Think about "Prom night" (the remake) and then imagine something worse than that. You get this one!So, try When a stranger calls, try The purge, Try funny games, even try The Strangers, but NOT, Mischief Night. Don't ruin yours! Cheers!

I just watched Mischief Night via View On Demand (VOD) at Amazon.com. It was only $6.99 for a 2-day repeated viewing of it. It was an edge of your seat heart-pounding thriller. It is a modernized version of an "old school" horror/thriller that is so unique that it is unforgettable.Their is not a dull moment in the entire movie. This movie deserves all the accolades and rave reviews it is receiving in the media. Honestly, this movie was even better than anything I could have possibly imagined. It was brilliantly acted by the entire ensemble cast and Noell Coet, in the lead role as Emily, gave such a powerful performance that it would be hard to imagine her not receiving awards for her performance, to include an Academy Award nomination. If she is not nominated then it is purely political because she certainly deserves the nod. Without doubt, Noell Coet is destined for super stardom. You WILL doubtlessly remember her captivating performance in this movie. You just have to. She really is that good.Daniel Hugh Kelly (Coet's father in the movie) also put out an incredibly powerful performance. Give him a best supporting actor nod. Once you see this movie you will no doubt want to give it your highest possible review. 10-star +!!!

I went into this film with zero expectations and was *very* pleasantly surprised. Film is about a teenager, Emily, who becomes blind after being in a car accident that killed her mother. The actress playing Emily, Noell Coet, turns in a very strong performance. I can see her becoming a major star. The movie suggests Emily's blindness is psychosomatic. Anyhow, Emily and her father move into a house, where we see the previous occupants get slaughtered on "Mischief Night". Well, Mischief Night is back, and the miscreant who killed there before is back. Except this time, Emily's dad has left on a date and Emily is alone. The psycho killer enters the house and eventually a taut game of cat and mouse ensues between the killer and this blind girl. The killer is scary and there are some scenes that are very creepy. There are a few things in the film that are not explained (which I won't reveal), but in the end, they don't detract from the film. If you want a good suspenseful movie, check this one out!!
