Bloody New Year

Rating:
Summary: Low budget, but strangely compelling
Review: Norman J Warren's last film to date is a guilty pleasure. A group of kids have a fight in a fairground and find themselves on a boat heading out to an island. However, the island is deserted apart from strange, invisible ghosts and haunted cinema screens...

It's a low budget affair, with unknown actors & some special effects that are clearly done on a budget - but's its also a bit offbeat & rattles along at a nice pace. Despite the obvious constraints on the budget, the film's atmosphere is quite strange. I lost my old VHS copy years ago, and can't wait for the DVD!

Music was by Nick Magnus, who has worked with Steve Hackett and various other well known artists, and the songs are by the group "Cry No More." This group consisted of two ex-members of the Stawbs (One who was a strawb for a brief period only!) and Magnus himself.

Summary: Bloody New Years
Review: When it comes to horror Bloody New Years is one of the best B-movies you can watch. I deals with a group of kids being chased from an amusement park to an island when a top secret goverment weapon hit in the 1950s and trapped the inhabitants of the island in a time loop neither dead or alive. One by one the new people join them in the neitherworld. Another classic horror film I'd like to see put out on dvd.
