Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

"Happy Hell Night" came out at a time when the slasher craze had well and truly died, as the same ideas were being recycled over and over again, and this one is no different, here we have a killer priest who escapes from a mental hospital after 25 years for murdering a group of college students and surprise surprise, he sets out to do it again to a new group of college kids.Happy Hell Night is an OK effort and I actually liked it more than I thought I would, once the first half hour is over and the killer priest starts killing, it actually starts livening up and there are some touches in the gore department, but I could have done without the stupid cheesy one liners from the killer, as it would have made him a whole lot creepier, and the supernatural element was done rather well and it does set it apart from the other slasher fodder that came out during this point.All in all "Happy Hell Night" is an okay movie once it gets going although it does take quite a while and the cast weren't very interesting but they do get killed which is a bonus, and this movie may just be another run of the mill early 90's slasher, but it's still OK.

A promising concept, is let down by its stringy narrative and so-so execution. I've never even heard of "Happy Hell Night" before and this early nineties, offbeat campus low-budget slasher is something that wouldn't have felt out of placed in the 80s. Tacky, gory and sleazy, but something just seemed to be missing or should I say something felt out of place. I couldn't shake the feeling that it could have been much better.In 1963 seven members of the Phi Delta Kappa Fraternity were found brutally mutilated inside Winfield Mausoleum. The accuser priest Zachary Malius was put away in the local State Asylum. Twenty five years later, a hazing prank goes wrong when some guys accidentally release Zachary from his cell and heads back to Winfield College to continue the butchery.The killer is suitably creepy and genuinely unnerving in appearance, but when he opened his mouth to spout out an amusing quip (ala Freddy Krugger style). It simply killed the mood. "No…" this, "no…" that. Done in a scratchy tone. No, please stop talking. Sadly this is too distracting (including its loopy tone), as it does bestow a nasty, atmospheric ambiance with some striking imagery… especially with the sequences of the killer lurking in the shadows and of course when he's stuck in his cell. Even then odd surreal images crop up too, involving a Jesus statue in a church and the setting has a Gothic touch. The darkly twisted, but untapped story takes awhile before hitting its strides, with the usual campus lounging and dramas. But when it kicks off the slaughter, buckets of blood flows (very cheap jolts), sex and nudity escalates (sometimes kinky) and stupidity is ensured. Some passages during the stalk and slash stages, just seem to jump around in a rather jaded manner. Not making much sense with little in the way of cohesion. The music does create some chills with its foreboding cues.The cast attached features some names; Darren McGavin, Sam Rockwell, Jorja Fox (from the TV show "C.S.I") and Ted Clark. But these folks have nothing more than minor roles. The rest of the performances are extra-ordinary… some rather bad in their amateurishly buoyant deliveries. Crude dialogues come out of their mouths with a real joke-like emphasis.Nothing special, but kind of fun over-the-top, b-grade shocker.

This movie is an unbelievably incredible gore drenched slasher! Most horror flicks that I see nowadays are entirely lame because they don't even contain gory graphic violence like this one does. As far as I'm concerned, bloody gore to the extreme is the way to go! This movie has an unleashed killer named Malius who brutally kills off college students at a fraternity with a scythe. Every time he kills somebody, he says "No" in addition to a different word each individual time. Like for instance, he killed a nurse at an asylum he escaped from by cutting her throat and then he said "No TV." He also killed a girl that was getting ready to drive her car away from the college dorm by chopping his scythe through the top while she was in the driver's seat. The sharp point of the scythe cut through the top of her skull and went out her mouth, and then Malius pulled the scythe out and said "No parking." Those are just a couple examples of this Malius character. So if you love gory horror flicks, this one is the bomb! Go rent Happy Hell Night and remember that it has a good surprising twist at the end! Happy Hell Night to all and to all a good night!!!

Happy Hell Night (1992) is a strangely obscure horror film. A derangedhunchback with ashen skin and large black eyes escapes from his prisoncell to torment a group of promiscous co-eds that are full of sin andvice. The movie for the most part is old hat but the ancient, moldykiller is real creepy. He reminded me of a mini Freddy clone, he evenspouts advice after maiming his victims. An old cop (with the help ofhis son) tries to put the half pint killing machine back into his cellbefore he kills again.Recommended,if you can find it.BP.S. This movie was shot in eastern Europe (but takes place in the USA).
