Night Of The Axe YIFY [BETTER]

While this movie takes place around Christmas, it's probably more appropriate that I watched it right before Halloween. I assume that if you went so far as to actually watch "Silent Night, Deadly Night", then you must like slasher movies in general. This is certainly one that they could have easily referenced in "Scream", namely since many of the characters violate the rules for surviving a horror flick.The plot is something fairly familiar. After hearing from his demented grandfather that Santa Claus punishes naughty children on Christmas, little Billy sees his parents get murdered by a guy dressed as St. Nick. Thrown into an orphanage, he resists Christmas. Many years later, Billy gets a job in a toy store, and then has to play Santa for a night. But when he sees people doing things that he interprets as naughty...well, you can probably guess what happens.The only cast member whom I recognized is Linnea Quigley (she plays Denise, the girl whose unpleasant experience with the antlers is apparently the movie's really famous scene). You may remember her as the woman who dances nude in "Return of the Living Dead". However, there are a few other things that caught my eye. The orphanage made me think of "The Flying Nun". When the family drives to the mental institution at the beginning, I saw that it was the Utah Mental Institution; doesn't the entire Mormon religion belong in one? But believe it or not, I derived some stuff about Bugs Bunny. Not only was there a Bugs Bunny costume right outside the toy store's back room, but the grandpa was played by Will Hare (the name sounds like Bugs's relative).Anyway, there's nothing inherently significant about "Silent Night, Deadly Night". Except for the fact that parents came out against it, claiming that it was badmouthing Santa Claus. I always say that a movie has really shown its worth if it annoys a bunch of morality-obsessed people. No doubt these parents liked to think that the flick would pollute the children's innocent little minds. Apparently, they forget that the audience will most likely consist of teenage boys who want to see women's big breasts! George Carlin (RIP) could have come up with an entire monologue about that.Anyway, worth seeing. And I tell you, Linnea Quigley is mighty fine!

Night of the Axe YIFY

Little kids play hide-and-seek in an abandoned convent and cause the death of little Robin Hammond. Six years later, Kelly Lynch, Jude Cunningham, Wendy Richards and Nick McBride are in Alexander Hamilton Senior High School hiding the secret of that day. Mr. Hammond (Leslie Nielsen) principal of the school, his wife and their kids Kim (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Alex still mourn the lost. Some creep is calling the four kids and threatening their prom night. Nick is going with Kim to the prom. Meanwhile the police suspects sex offender Leonard Merch killed Robin and hounded him to a fiery crash. He turned catatonic but has just escaped from the mental hospital.This is a Canadian B-movie horror. It's not completely horrible as some other low budget productions of that genre. However one would be kidding to claim this to be a good movie. It does have Jamie Lee Curtis and Leslie Nielsen. That's the good part but everybody else is at least a step down. The police part is a waste of time. Overall, there isn't anything interesting. The other kids aren't compelling. The dialog is really clunky at times. It may be only my problem but I suffered through some bad lighting. There are whole sections of near total darkness. The disco is pretty cheesy. This is a generally inferior product.

With a simple premise, you won't be too taxed. Like all of us, Ashley just hopes to spend an evening getting paid to eat pizza but gets far more than she bargained for when an uninvited guest arrives. It's a little grim occasionally, but Better Watch Out plays like a slasher version of Adventures in Babysitting set at Christmas. You're getting a cheesy serial-killer yarn mixed up with a teenager's worst night at work ever. The flick's winning B-movie formula of blood and silliness works well with its plethora of over-the-top scenarios that'll likely have you rolling your eyes and/or shouting at the screen. Hey, that's half the fun, right?

And finally, here it is. The much-coveted number one spot on our list of the best Christmas horror movies. You know the urban legend about the babysitter who after a night of harassing phone calls, discovers that they were coming from inside the house all along? You can thank Black Christmas for that eerie-as-hell predicament, one of its many contributions to the slasher genre.

The next day, Kull attempts to free his slaves, but finds that his rulings are hampered by the stone tablets detailing the laws of Valusia. Taligaro and his cousin secretly attempt to assassinate Kull during his coronation, but fail. Taligaro and his conspirators are summoned the following night by the necromancer Enaros, who offers to aid them by resurrecting Akivasha, the Sorceress Queen of the ancient Acheron Empire, which the god Valka destroyed ages before Valusia was built on its remains. Using Taligaro's group to suit her ends to gain power and restore Acheron, Akivasha uses her magic to enchant Kull and become his queen. Akivasha then places Kull in a deathlike slumber, framing Zareta of "regicide" while taking Kull to her temple to keep as a plaything. 041b061a72
