Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Hazelwoc I met Simon Hunter at Raindance when I was learning film making and we talked a bit about this film. The money shots were expensive and took up a lot of the budget, this should have been a cheaper film. Simon has a friend called Jake West, who made the cult classic Razor blade smile on a budget of £20K, incidentally using the same actor as the baddie, If you are interesting in the art of film making then check it out. True lighthouse does have higher production values, but is not as much fun. I liked Simon, he is a competent film-maker, but I think that given his budget he could have done better. The story about a crashed prison ship on a remote lighthouse Island could have been a good thriller, but as a premise for a slasher movie its a bit of a waste. Think Key Largo as a great example of that genre. A story of a prison van breaking down in remote Scotland with the action set in and around the odd bothy would have have been cheaper, more convenient and could have allowed for a more relaxed shooting schedule, higher shooting ratio, and a better edited end film. As it is it is neither a good thriller or slasher movie. Pity.

atinder I don't why but I got this for 50p the another day, so what the hell give a watch, thinking it haunted Light house. It turns out it was more of slasher movie, Well I don't know to really make out of this, it didn't hate but I didn't love either, i thougth it flowed, There were some bloody deaths in this movie but I didn't find him scary at all but I did enjoy those very tense scenes were some were hiding from him. If you may seem a little funny but the whole way to predicable, you know how the movie was going to end. 4 out of 10

gillythehoboslayer After looking at all of the comments, regarding it as an awful slasher, I must say in my opinion they are totally wrong.This had all the gore you need, maybe it could of had more, but still has a bloody edge, and the effects wern't all the terrible, even though towards the end when the woman is being grabbed by her hair when she's hanging off the Lighhouse does look a little bit stupid. This actually had above average acting, the characters arn't as wooden as some actors. But it is a B-Movie, and this has proudly made it's way into my top 5 in slashers.I'd give The Lighthouse - 7.5/10God bless British horror...now go watch Cradle Of Fear (Ultimate cheese, awful acting and terrible dialogue = a must for any horror fan like me)

Backlash007 ~Spoiler~The slasher film is alive and well...and living in England. Weird, I know. I really enjoyed this late entry into the slasher sub-genre. Dead of Night follows a prison ship transporting notorious serial killer, Leo Rook, which never arrives at its destination. It sinks and the survivors are forced to swim to an "abandoned" lighthouse while Rook is somewhere on the island. Dead of Night is a low-budget flick with quite a few surprises. The main surprise is the bathroom scene. One of our cannon fodder characters is hiding inside a bathroom stall while the killer is also in the room. He knocks a can of air freshener over and it slowly falls to the ground only to land on a towel. It's as tense as anything I've seen; A real sweating bullets moment. It reminds me quite a bit of the heart attack-inducing game Clock Tower. Equally edgy is a scene involving another character hiding in a dingy and one in which the heroine is literally hanging by her hair. Ouch. James Purefoy (Resident Evil) is good in the lead and Christopher Adamson is very sinister as the baddie. Watch out for the sequel, Dead of Night II: Rook Takes Queen. Or maybe not. Either way, Dead of Night is a gory bit of fun.
