Another boring slasher, filmed on the cheap and in the dark, about a sinister legend and a dysfunctional killer working their way through a cast of irritating characters. Like the HATCHET series (which is much more fun, incidentally), BLOOD NIGHT casts the likes of Danielle Harris and go-to guy Bill Moseley in various parts to appeal to the fans, but this is very weak sauce indeed.
The trouble with BLOOD NIGHT is that it's just so darn derivative. There's extreme gore and gruesome murders right from the outset, but nothing else. No suspense sequences, no characterisation, no interesting turns of plot or story development. The stark, dark look of almost all the scenes makes it a film that's rather depressing to watch, as is the tired signposting of the repetitive kill scenes. Speaking as a slasher fan, there's very little to enjoy here at all.
