Watched this on years ago after looking up another Slasher film with a similar premise!
The film follows Chris Vale (Scot Nery), a young man who was wrongly convicted of murdering his family in 1982, and admitted into an insane asylum based largely on the fact that Chris had been found at home with the bodies by the police! 10 years on & having endured a horrific life in the asylum being bullied by inmates & staff alike for the incident, Chris has now quite literally turned insane & to prove his innocence, escapes from the asylum on October 31 to his home, which is now occupied by a new family who are holding a Halloween party! As the night draws on, Chris attempts to search the house for any clues that will testify his innocence, but in an effort to conceal himself from the party-goers & the authorities who are searching for him, begins his own killing spree that leads to a massacre far worse than the original!
I found the film to be pretty good! It's a 80 minute (1 hour & 20 minutes) to the point slasher with a pretty dark, but scary & sinister story-line! The gore & kills are ace & the Halloween Scenery do the film justice! The film reminds me of Trick or Treats, a 1982 Slasher Halloween film that was pretty similar to this one! I have yet to see it, but like this one, it sounds good!
Overall, you'll enjoy this slasher if you don't take it so seriously! It's definitely a classic film that gets forgotten about & should be seen as a classic alongside Trick 'r Treat! It's a dark & sinister slasher film that is heavily underrated!
8/10.
