A-Z Horror Movie of the Day..."Mischief Night" (NR - 2013 - US)
Sub-Genre: Slasher/Home Invasion
My Score: 4.9
Cast=4 Acting=6 Plot=5 Ending=6 Story=3 Scare=5 Jump=6 F/X=4 Blood=4 Invasion=6
Young Emily Walton, who has suffered from psychosomatic blindness ever since the car accident that took her mother's life, must summon every instinct at her disposal to protect herself and her loved ones from a mysterious intruder.
This was not without it's merit...there were a couple good jumps and it made for a decent home invasion thriller. Unfortunately, the story, F/X, and blood lacked in every part of the film. The plot was good, but been done before. It's like reading a menu and seeing "chopped sirloin sandwich" and you bite into it and realize that it's just a plain burger. Don't go searching for this one...but you could do a lot worse.
