**_Decent cast, good locations and fine f/x, but

**_Decent cast, good locations and fine f/x, but lousy storytelling_** Students of an upstate New York college celebrate their annual Hell Night with a few of them inadvertently unleashing a diabolical inmate of a nearby asylum, who happens to have a history with the school. Darren McGavin plays the father of two siblings who attend the college (Franke John Hughes & Nick Gregory) with Sam Rockwell playing the younger version of the dad in flashbacks. "Happy Hell Night" (1992) has everything for a quality slasher, but fumbles the ball with grossly amateur directing and editing. There are bits of certain key scenes that are so clumsily executed the director or editor should’ve been fired. It doesn’t help that the supernatural element is awkwardly worked into the script with the corresponding gobbledygook. On a positive note, the antagonist is effective enough and the female cast is quite good, highlighted by Laura Carney (Liz), Tatjana Pujin (Kimberly), Gala Videnovic (Marjorie), Jorja Fox (Kappa Sig Girl) and Kate Delay (Susan). Speaking as a fan of the genre, it’s strange how this flick failed so badly despite its resources and the fact that it had a dozen years of slashers to use as a blueprint. The film runs 1 hour, 27 minutes, and was shot in Yugoslavia and Humber College, Toronto (I’m assuming the latter applies to exterior shots, but I’m not sure). GRADE: D+/C-

Pretty good when it gets into gear

"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.
