In the horror film The Dead of Night (2004) a mental patient
escapes from a hospital and kills everyone thinking they are possessed by some
type of demon that likes to reveal itself during the night. He escapes into a nearby cemetery where a
group of teenagers are cruelly initiating several “geeks” by bounding their
hands and throwing them into an open grave.
Soon, the teenagers discover that the cemetery may be the latest site
for the demons that possess each of the teenagers one by one.
The teenagers don’t know who to trust as during the day
their friends are normal but at night they turn into hideous demons that want
to possess them and their only hope is in the escaped mental patient who knows
more then he’s letting on about what is happening. Time is running out as one by one each person
is possessed and the demons don’t plan on stopping just with the teenagers but
have bigger plans.
This sounds like a film that might actually be decent but
sadly it is not. Hampered by meager
production values and a repetitive screenplay that renders all the characters
as two-dimensional caricatures this film is made even more inept by the
horrible demon masks and special FX. If
made in the ‘80s or ‘90s I could probably forgive some of this but this is a
film of ‘00s and this film is just bad.
This is a highly forgettable film.
