Happy Hell Night Reviews:
Left me far from Happy as Hell on this Night
2008-10-04 - Now I'm no expert on the subject(never quite made it to college myself), but what the (happy)Hell is so damn cool about fraternities? And even if there are reasons that make them worthwhile... how far would you be willing to go to get into one? More basic initiations can consist of forced alcohol consumption, induced vomiting, sleep deprivation, road trips, public humiliation, paddling and other forms of bodily harm(which for some of my Amazon friends may just be another Saturday night LOL!), and the increasingly popular "eat-digested-corn-out-of-your-own-excrement" test. Happy Hell Night tells the tale of an initiation that far and away exceeds the list above-- using Satanic rituals to raise a demon into the body of a recently deceased priest-- uh fella's, I think I'll just join the Chess Club instead thanks! No surprises here, as things go horribly wrong for the pledges involved and they are mutillated and partially devoured by the demon; the police show up and lock the abomination away... flash forward twenty-five years in the future and to another batch of eager men willing to do whatever it takes to become the newest members of Phi Delta Kappa. This years initiation seems simple enough, break into the local mental institiution and take a picture of the man/myth that committed the murders all those years ago. Again things go wrong, and the demon is set free once more. Happy Hell Night is a frustrating viewing experience, it sports some excellent moments(the first 5 minutes are absolute horror gold!) but can never really capitalize on them because of odd shifts in direction and feel throughout the film(not to mention the absurd... a demon locked away by the police-- yeah right!). It features a truly creepy antagonist in the scrawny, pale, bald priest with completely black eyes, BUT then the director decides to make him talk after every kill(a'la Freddy Krueger) and all tension is intantly dropped. The film also attempts to balance a serious religious/supernatural tilt with that of a campy blood and boobs slasher-- again, failure. The acting and gore are solid though, and the film does have it's moments; although the finale is complete garbage(and even steals a scene from Halloween shot-for-shot) with all reasoning thrown out the window. Basically, if you love slasher films and are scraping the bottom of the barrel for fresh options... this is more then worth a watch. For all others, Happy Hell Night may leave you feeling like you yourself have been the target of a college initiation hazing gone wrong. Tread carefully(2.5 stars).

Scary as Hell
2008-01-03 - I have to disagree with the masses on this one.
Happy Hell Night is basically your usual Slasher fare
but what sets it apart from other slashers is the killer priest "this is not a spoiler" who freaked me out and scared me SO bad I was petrified for weeks..
and I don't scare easily at all~!!
There are some very good kills in this movie.. although the story gets bogged down a bit I still watch this on a cold dark night with all the lights off and every time I watch it, the first time I see the Killer Priest in the insane asylum in his dungeon like cell pretending to be catatonic with the roach crawling on him and later when he speaks "even though some of his lines are cheesy" .OMG his voice is as scary as he is himself,I get CREEPED OUT..
Plus it has some HOT men in it for us ladies..and for the men , pretty naked chicks..
Turn off the lights and watch it ..I DARE YOU


LIFELESS RETREAD
2005-11-01 - HAPPY HELL NIGHT takes you places you've been before and there's nothing really remarkable about this 1992 release. A top billed Darren McGavin has little do in the movie and that's a shame since McGavin starred in the superior NIGHT STALKER series. Sam Rockwell also has a small role as the younger McGavin who opened up a portal of hell when he was a college student and released a deadly spirit priest. The director tried some Freddy Krueger joke gimmicks but they fall flatter than the proverbial pancake. The movie's plot jumps around so much it never makes coherent sense, leaving HAPPY HELL NIGHT just another entry in the countless teen slasher flicks and not that imaginative of one.

What do you expect?
2005-09-21 - I think I am the only one here who actually likes this film. Yes, it is crap. But, like with so many horror films, it is artful crap. Bad movies are sometimes better than mainstream flicks. I really liked it. If you have the same mindset as me (looking to be entertained, not enthralled) then you may enjoy this.

No watching crappy movies
2005-08-09 - Thank god this was from the library, i didnt buy it or rent it because if i did I would have chewed my arm off with grief. First does anyone notice that the door in the beginning that the orderly and nurse are looking into is an entirely different door when sonny and whatshisname go looking for the inmate? The "bad guy" was hilarious, i really expected everyone to bust out laughing when he did his "NO STV" line. The special effects werent really special at all, they must have used that little rubber piece that looked like the ice pick a thousand times, but it just didnt work for me in the slightest. And someone tell me what generator that small runs an entire mansion worth of juice? There are so many questions left unanswered in this trash heap, not including why did someone even make this, but what frat party ends at midnight? and since when is a giant schnauzer considered guard dog material. Ha Ha. Please dont watch this movie, its really a waste of time, The only good thing about it is laughing at everyones high waisted pants.
