DVD Review: ‘Dead Night’ Is Deadly Good

Two lovers parked in a wooded area find themselves stalked by a hooded figure. When the man gets out to check on a noise, he’s murdered and the woman taken. Skip forward nine months, the woman is laying in the dirt screaming, ready to give birth. Two hooded figures are there by her side as she delivers and the scene closes. Following a time jump, we meet a family, James (AJ Bowen) a father with cancer, Casey (Brea Grant) the mother, Jason (Joshua Hoffman) their son, their daughter Jessica (Sophie Dalah) and her friend (Elise Luthman) Becky on their way to a cabin. Not long after their arrival, they find a woman (Barbra Crampton) in the snow, after bringing her back to the cabin they learn they have made a fatal mistake. As the film plays out we see scenes from a crime series called “Inside Crime” where we learn that Casey killed her entire family, the family we are

Movie Review: Dead Night (2017)

Dead Night opens in the year 1961 as strange hooded figures abduct a young woman and impregnate her with their demon seed…which goes about as well as one would expect (I mean really, has “raped by a monster to sire it’s love child” ever had a happy ending?) Flash forward to 2015, and a dysfunctional family (and one friend) heads out in the family truckster to visit a remote cabin, under which a large quantity of buried iron is said to exist…why is that important? Because said deposit can supposedly render a new age cure for the family’s ailing patriarch. Of course this location is still home to those creepy creatures mentioned above, and they’ve been rubbin’ up on some corkscrew cocoon thing gettin’ it’s tentacles all a-twitter. We soon learn…via a true crime television show replete with cheesy re-enactments and commercials for a local politician, Leslie Bison (the legendary Barbara Crampton) that the matriarch of the fam, Casey (Brea
