Night of Bloody Horror - 1969

Okay, I am getting a lot of these titles mixed up in my head. There are a lot of super generic titles on this set. The words Night, Blood, Devil, Nightmare, Horror, and Dark are all over this set.

This movie feels a LOT like the previously reviewed The House that Screamed. Several overlapping elements include following a unreliable narrator young woman main character, some bodies piling up killed by an unseen killer, and then eventually a twist in the end and a unveiling of "the big surprise killer."

This one did not have the tense moments of Screamed, instead it is replaced by a few fun scenes of zany 70's style flourishes of style. Weird dissolves, "groovy" and/or wonky filters and editing happen a few times, and that makes this movie feel fun and very much a product of it's time.

Overall, I feel like I have less to say about this, maybe it's because it's so similar to Screamed, but either way, this is a fun film and it's less horror and more silly. It's 77 minutes long and it won't hurt, I give it 3.5 stars.
