Good idea lost in the noise

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

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Saw this as a kid at a drive in in Connecticut and I remember it scaring me. I bought a DVD made by Cheezy Flicks Entertainment to watch. DO NOT BUY THIS DVD! It looks like it was copied from a very poor VHS tape and the soundtrack goes off sync permanently after 20 minutes. I did contact the company to complain and never heard back. It ruined my viewing of an old memory. Oh yea, about the film... It's not as scary as I remember. The film is poorly made, edited badly and there are some laugh out loud moments. In one scene you can see the dead body's eyelids moving and she's visibly breathing! Plus no one can act their way out of a paper bag. You can guess who did it early on. On the plus side the clothes and furnishing of the houses are great! It's amazing what poor taste people had at the time. And what was Gerald McRaney thinking walking around with out a shirt on! Someone with a build like that should not only keep their shirt on but wear a male burka.

Night of Bloody Horror is certainly not accurately named, but if you get into the atmosphere of '60s and '70s low budget exploitation films, then you'll probably enjoy this campy Psycho copy. There's some great music, some performed in club scenes by a noisy psychedelic band called The Bored; and great kitschy visual effects, like the swirling lights Wesley sees before a murder happens. Plus it has that wonderful, sickly faded color that is a must for any great "psychotronic" movie.The film starts slow, but reveals Wesley's haunted past little by little through creepy childhood flashbacks while simultaneously establishing the unhealthy relationship he has with his bitter, domineering mother. It doesn't keep all of its secrets well, but the sick revelation of the ending is memorable and entertaining. There's a lot of cheese value, but underneath it all is a decent little psychological horror movie.

Pretty good low budget regional horror flick from the director of the classic 'Creature From Black Lake'. It does have some problems, though; Gerald McRaney's acting job does a complete meltdown every so often, there's the psychedelic music video intermission and just why the heck do all those hot chicks fall instantly head over heels for this suspected serial killer?! On the plus side; it moves along at a good pace and director Houck keeps the camera moving. It also contains some ahead of it's time violent murders (including a twisted confessional scene). All in all it's above average and well worth a look to horror/exploitation fans. Tis a shame there wasn't more flicks lensed in good ol' Violent Vision!

Horror? Hahaha! This is a trashy so-called thriller that is slightly reminiscent of Hitchcock's Psycho. Only that this one is totally predictable and full of gore. Gerald McRaney gives a good performance, but it doesn't save the film from mediocrity. There is almost no suspense, in fact waiting to see if the next scene is worse than the one you are watching is far more suspenseful. Really, one would try hard to find a movie with more fake special effects than this one; the sound is often unsynchronized, while the red paint you keep in the basement would have worked better in the gore scenes! Anyway, this one's for the cult trash fans, like me.3
