Nigel P Brooke Anne Smith plays Kaylie, the sardonic, bored, scratchy voiced precocious ex-self-harmer who has been lumbered with a baby-sitting job because the original baby-sitter, and Kaylie's friend, is ill. Actually, her friend isn't ill at all, and ends up as the first throat-slashed victim of a killer.Anyway, a masked miscreant breaks into the house and gets caught up in the inevitable mild violent exchange with feisty Kaylie. With the baby long forgotten, the two then strike up an, ahem, unlikely bond, and are soon charging round the neighbourhood enjoying some Hallowe'en, trick-or-treat pranks. The misunderstood unmasked man and the dough-eyed wildcat blond strike up a bond of profound stature, two bland posers psycho-analysing each other to the sound of tinkling synthesised music. Two misunderstood youngsters flirting heavily whilst drinking all the alcohol in the house of the parents of the baby no-one cares about.As the unnamed man behind the mask Marc Valera makes the most of the emotional backstory he is given, but an audience is being asked a lot to suddenly be required to relate to someone who it seems has just cut the throat of a local girl. It is all rather more than a little twee and seems to be setting itself up for some highly unlikely self-analysis between two pretty shallow people.However, I believed this film was setting itself up in certain way. What resulted is something a lot more intelligent than I gave it credit for, and although others may guess the outcome, I found the storyline surprising in all the right places. It might occasionally seem like a struggle to get through at times, but 'Devil's Night' is worth sticking around for until the very end.Malcolm McDowell, who plays a curious, extrovert local –'do-gooder' appears to have a great time with what it little more than a cameo. So much so that his various out-takes actually crop up after the end credits.
metallicagnr56 This film sucked, I can't wait for a good filmmaker who actually has a good script to make a masterpiece on Devil's night. The acting was terrible. The twist was nothing special and very anti climatic. The fight scenes were terribly done and not believable. The only good parts were the score and Malcom. The film started out okay, but with the lack of talent from the director and lead actors this film fell fast. I would consider this one of the worst films for the genre. If you are expecting your typical slasher film you will not get it here. This is a failed attempt to showcase insanity. This film is a waist of time and money, do not watch it!!!!!!!!
ohara55 I am posting this review because I just read a 1 star review by speedgtr92 where he/she called another movie titled Mischief Night (released just a few months prior to this MN) "good". This Mischief Night is not to be confused with that turkey. Wait. Did I say turkey? Let me grow a pair of balls. That other MN is a real turd. The lead actress in that MN reminds me of… well I don't want to insult anyone personally. So I'll quote my outspoken cousin Fred – "She reminds me of a zit I once had on my ass near the crack. Actually kind of in the crack. After I tried to pop it it got real infected and all red and oozy..." Fred went on about the zit on his ass for quite some time. But that's beside the point. This MN stars the captivating and alluring Brooke Anne Smith, who gives an outstanding must- see performance.
Liam Blackburn The movie starts out slow and stays slow. It then morphs into some kind of a suicidal teen love comedy. The serial killer in this movie ends up picking the wrong girl to kill. She is suicidal, she cuts herself, she talks to strangers, she hates her parents. She is not the typical cheer leading princess that a real slasher likes to kill. This is all a really good idea for a movie. It just falls really flat in terms of the serial killer actor. He is not funny, he is not serial killer material. He is short, beady-eyed, looks like a loser type of college kid. His face lacks emotion and his acting is all one- note. One unnecessary part is how he kills the girl's friend right before he enters the house...there is just no point to that. The movie is incredibly predictable in terms of plot, and there is no real tension. It's like a really bad ripoff of "I know what you did last summer" mixed with a teen Disney Halloween night.
