This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

The plot = David (Joe Manno) is the captain of the football team and is also the most popular guy in school but he has a problem he's on medication to control his violent fits, so what does he do he throws a party for all his friends at his house while his parents are away. But while the party starts going two convicts escapes from a nearby prison and hides out in his basement ready to terrorise the party guests.The opening scene we get a stereotypical 80's couple snuggling up watching "Graduation Day" and then surprise surprise they both gets killed and the credits come on and the movie starts. After seeing this part I thought that this movie was gonna be quite good but sadly I was wrong.This movie has very little going for it although there is a big body count and a few fun kill sequences, but when it comes to everything else this movie just simply falls apart and becomes very boring, the acting for one is awful, even for an 80's slasher and the directing is strictly amateur. The last 20 minutes perk up a bit- but considering the unrelieved tedium of what's gone before it'd be a miracle if it didn't. The ending as well was predictable (I figured it out long before) and it well and truly shows that by the late 1980's that slasher movies just became tame and rubbish.All in all this is a bad slasher with only a few redeeming qualities.

I just saw "Night Screams" as part of an (obscure) slasher double bill with "Graduation Day" (1981). At least "Graduation Day" wanted to be a slasher. This, "Night Screams", I don't know what it wants to be. I do know it wants to be more clever but it ends up being a dumber movie all the same. A couple of escaped convicts find a hiding place in the basement of a house where a teenager on medication decides to have a party with his friends because his parents aren't home. There's bad music, bad sex, bad acting and eventually a few bad killings. On a technical level, it's not better or worse made than "Graduation Day". The latter at least played it by the early 80's slasher textbook and delivers as such a film. "Night Screams" plays it by the late 80's slasher textbook - not that the rules are much different, really - but manages to dumb things down to an almost intolerable level. Even with nada suspense or tension this time and the kills themselves aren't memorable either. The only mildly amusing aspect was the stupid twist at the end. It's such a typical conclusion, not at all original and you can see it coming from a mile away. But at least the filmmakers watched enough slasher flicks to get that thing right. Still, even if you're an avid slasher fan, I don't think you'll get too excited over this flick.

This is one of my favorite movies! The reason is because a friend of mine is in it. He is the chester looking dude sporting a stache and dancing with a chick in the club scene. He isn't really a chester. Other than that, the movie sucks donkey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! BAd movie The minimum is 10 lines to leave a comment so I am just writing pointless garbage to make it. This is a stupid guideline. What the hell is that for? Who really cares what anyone on here posts? I sure as hell don't. I just post as a joke for a friend.

Another day, another long-forgotten 80's slasher that came to my attention because it looked like it had to offer some decent murder sequences, T&A and a handful of clumsy and not-so-convincing red herrings. And yes, "Night Screams" is a more or less enjoyable horror effort, but only just as long as your expectations are kept to a minimum. We follow the usual crowd of stereotypical and irritating high school teenagers as they throw a graduation party in the football jock's house. However, there are two escaped criminals hiding in the basement and the hunky football star David himself suffers from aggressive behavior when he doesn't take his carefully prescribed pills. Soon after the party-goers are killed off in fairly imaginative ways (one girl has an axe planted in her skull, another guy's face is literally barbecued) and director Allen Plone begs us to think the culprit is either David or one of the mad thugs in the cellar. The plot twists don't really work, but I admire Plone for trying and there's at least a little bit of style to find in his film. Although that does not include the tasteless footage of porn movies and another inferior 80's slasher ("Graduation Day") that continuously plays on TV-sets in the background. I guess none of the actual actresses wanted to take her top off, so they needed to steal the padding from other movies. "Night Screams" is a forgettable and truly run-of-the-mill 80's slasher, but we've definitely seen worse already and avid fans of the decade will certainly not regret watching it.
