Baruh may have bitten off more than he can chew for his first feature. That said, the practical effects, blood-soaked kills, and devilish grin of the always brilliant Crampton were enough for me to walk out smiling.

While Baruh isn't strong with introductions, he's reasonably good with payoffs, generating a whirlwind of strangeness that saves the viewing experience.

More than just the slasher horror you might expect from its setting, Dead Night is an ambitious film whose strength is in its strangeness.

Dead Night ends up being muddled, never committing to either solemn supernatural horror or its elements of camp.
