One Dark Night (1981) 5/10

One Dark Night was directed by Tom McLoughlin who also directed Friday The 13th Part VI so I figured I had a winner on my hands. I was wrong.

One Dark Night is about a psychic vampire that dies and is buried in a mausoleum. After his burial a high school girl is dared to spend the night there as an initiation right to become a sister in a high school social click. The members of the click plan to scare the girl and end up being scared themselves by the psychic vampire that comes back from the grave!

The problem? We spend most of the film setting up the last fifteen minutes. This makes the film mildly entertaining but not particularly scary. The next problem? The only death in the film is in the climax when the psychic dies, but he was already dead in the first place so it doesn't even really count. That being said the film is somewhat entertaining and paced fairly well considering the circumstances but ultimately fails at being even a little bit creepy. Middle of the road at best.

Gore - very mild
Nudity - none
Overall - 5/10
