Hell Night
It’s got a clever premise in it combines a haunted house setting with a slasher movie.
But the kills are dull and look dollar-store phony, the killer’s design is laughable (Jason Voorhees from F13 Part II with ashen skin and less hair), there’s a side plot involving a character going to get the police that renders itself pointless, and everybody walks in slow motion. I swear this movie could be cut from 105 to a lean 90 by cutting out watching people descend staircases of 25 steps individually at the pace of an arthritic turtle. It does nothing notably at all; it just sorta happens and you deal with it, but it doesn’t do anything outright badly either. It’s just a big old shrug.
At least it didn’t end on sequel bait.
