Blood Night: The Legend of Mary Hatchet Trailers

Local teens have long commemorated the death of 'Mary Hatchet' - a girl who took an ax and killed her family in the 1970s - with the aptly named Blood Night. But things never got truly bloody until Mary's ghost decided to make an appearance. Dead bodies are piling up, and Mary seems to be calling the shots. But there are secrets about her past that have yet to be uncovered.

I was excited to watch this because I love horror films but this thing is so annoying. Not only are the characters annoying but the actors themselves are annoying as hell. All the bad acting makes it even worse. Even the sex scenes are irritating. The whole thing is irritating. Irritating teens wreaking havoc on the town, etc...ugh. Such a stupid movie. The beginning of the movie starts out awesome so I thought this would be a great horror film but it's probably the worst I've ever seen and I have seen a lot. It's almost like the Director made a horror film just so he could make a movie about horny teens. I'm actually stunned this movie has a whopping 4.5 stars.

A group of teenagers celebrate Blood Night.It's the anniversary of the death of a local axe murderer, Mary Hatchet. The group find themselves face to face with the realities of her haunting.As they run from the bloody rampage left behind they'll need to survive the night to expose the truth behind the legend of Bloody Mary...oh, and it has a twist right near the end...it's another house party celebrating murder, where all the guests spend the remainder of the night in peril.It's easy enough to watch, the gore factor is at a solid medium, but we have the added bonus of Scream Queen Harris, which is always welcome and Moseley as the Ghost story telling old man.The rest of the cast are filler, nothing more than victims of the killer and to show some flesh.The beginning of the film is quite good, but then it does slowly go downhill from there.The ending is a bit of a cop out, but it's short and does what you would expect.

parricidal Mary Mattock (Samantha Facchi) is constrained at sanatorium for much of her growing years – catatonic until one traumatic experience makes her go loony again, slaughtering the hospital staff and killed in process by police.After 20-years, the psychotic Mary 'Hatchet' has turn into an urban legend. High-school seniors commemorate Mary's death as blood night - partying and reveling all over the town.The night celebration will soon transforms into unbridled terror for one group of friends.Abundant of nudity & sexy shots smooth over the dull parts before the killings starts. Nifty gore effects considering the modest budget.Debuting writer-director Frank Sabatella has an eye for bloodletting (one victim's innards is 'spaghetti-zed') but lacks experience in other departments.

You have to at least show some respect for writer/director Frank Sabatella. For his debut long-feature "Blood Night" he did absolutely nothing special or innovative, but nevertheless delivered a hugely amusing and 100% unpretentious slasher movie that gave me personally a lot of viewing pleasure! It actually pretty much seems like Sabatella simply opened the big unwritten book of horror movie clichés and stereotypes and processed every single one in his screenplay. Literally everything you can think of is present here: the intro with a flashback set in the gritty 1970's, a dark ominous asylum, perverted night guards, horny drunken teenagers, Ouija boards, the creepy but wise cemetery caretaker, evil heritages, actors that are way too old for their teenage character roles and a whole lot of graphic axe-murders! Mary Hatchet is the nickname of a local anti-heroine whose murderous rampage became a holiday more popular than Halloween. She butchered her parents with an axe in 1978, but really went berserk in 1989, when she delivered a stillborn baby as a result of being raped by a guard. Twenty years after her death, a bunch of teenagers passes by her grave with a Ouija board before heading home and party hard. It doesn't take long before the dim- witted teenagers are knocked off one by one, seemingly by the hand of the resurrected Mary Hatchet herself. "Blood Night" is – plain and simple – pure brainless horror entertainment. Yes, the gory make-up effects are utterly grotesque and fake and there isn't a single moment of suspense to detect in the entire film, but I don't think anyone can claim they were bored whilst watching this. The characters are walking, talking stereotypes that deliver the utmost idiotic lines, but somehow they come across as realistic. Last but not least, Sabatella managed to engage two famous horror names for his modest production, namely veteran Bill Moseley and upcoming starlet Danielle Harris. Recommended if you're looking for … nothing special except a good hour and a half of sheer entertainment.
