Enjoyable low budget horror loopiness. - Bloody New Year review by NP
An out-of-season funfair by the sea makes for a nicely spooky setting for this slow-to-start story. Certainly, the cast don't immediately arrest the attention in a slew of average to amateur performances. Somehow though, as the 93-minute runtime rolls on, the endear themselves.
Like many Norman J Warren films, this is difficult not to like, despite, or possibly because of, its offbeat, low-budget loopiness – however, the never-ending mishaps and madness, with only the vaguest covering explanation, can get somewhat wearisome. The music, however, by Cry No More, is great. My score is 7 out of 10.
