Movie Review | To All A Goodnight (Hess, 1980)
Contains a horrifying scene where a science nerd, the morning after getting laid, starts talking about football. Given that this character manages to bag a chick who looks like a darker haired Annette O'Toole and then starts macking on the main chick, you'd think his character arc would be an inspirational one, but the drastic change in his personality from man of science and knowledge to football bozo instead suggests a Faustian bargain has been made. Yeah, I was more into trivia than sports growing up, why do you ask?
The best part of this is without a doubt the performance by Judith Bridges, who starts off jokingly talking with an Atlantic accent, then starts talking with it for real and then... well, to say anything more about what happens to her would be a spoiler. But she very much marches to her own beat, seemingly divorced from the kind of movie she's in. One wonders if she just decided to do her own and director David Hess just accepted it. One wonders if she was beamed in from another dimension into this modest little slasher. It seems she only has a handful of IMDb credits, so the latter theory is more likely. Beaming into our dimension every few years, or perhaps even decades, to spread a little joy and return to her home.
And yes, this is directed by THAT David Hess. I won't pretend that he's one of the great actor-turned-directors, although he manages a few choices, like a fade to red after the reveal of a corpse, that along with Bridges' performance and the odd soundtrack, push this very, very slightly into accidental avant garde territory. Given how fearsome a performer he can be, one wishes he stepped in front of the camera, but at least we get cinema luminary Harry Reems appear in a small role as a pilot (who is treated rather rudely by the main characters for some reason). One also wishes he paid off one character's boast about "five years of karate and a black belt", but alas there are limits to this movie's weirdness.
As a Christmas slasher, this certainly has Christmas lights and a killer in a Santa suit, but the setting is in too warm a climate (there are palm trees) to capture the Hot Cocoa vibes I want from these things. That being said, the dead air of these early slashers feels very cozy to me, and with all the scenes of characters walking around the darkened house, and with a couple of neat kills, I had a pretty good time. Most movies don't even have one kill using a crossbow. This one has TWO. You can't argue with those savings.

TO ALL A GOODNIGHT- 1980 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A hazing prank goes horribly wrong and a girl falls off the balcony to her death.
Months later the sorority have forgotten all about it and are getting ready for christmas. A few guys come over with cases of PBR and the party begins.
What they dont know is someone dressed as Santa is out for revenge against them!
To all a goodnight!
Anyway, i absolutely loved this christmas themed 80s slasher. Its the exact kind of vibe i was hoping for.
Fun kills and classic 80s aesthetics.
So many dumb moments and confusing things happen that are laughably bad.
It will be blatantly obvious a scene was filmed during the day and then someone will just say "what are you doing out here at nighttime".
The killer always happens to be exactly where he needs to be for an elaborate kill.
Like he waits inside a suit of armour for presumably hours until a couple start shagging next to him. Or he climbs and waits up a tree for presumably hours until a couple start shagging under him. Its unreal.
This film also has a "crazy ralph". The crazy old man that keeps popping up and warning people they are in terrible danger but no one listens to him and he gets killed anyway.
Just like in Friday the 13ths version, this films guy is also called Ralph. To all a Goodnight didnt rip it off though as it came out four months before Friday the 13th and was the first slasher released in 1980.

the sudden thought of bakugou katsuki sending an audio to his s/o while at the gym, where he speaks IN BETWEEN GASPS AND GRUNTS AND EVEN GROWLS BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT HE'S LIFTING WHILE ALSO TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE FOR DINNER AND SUGGESTING MEALS OR PLEACES TO GO IF YOU WANT AND THEN HE SAYS, "Ugh... whatever you... mmh... want, baby, it's yours..." AND HE EXHALES FUCKING SEXILY AS THE SOUND OF THE WEIGHT DROPPING IS HEARD.
— I'M DYING HELP.
#DON'T @ ME#I DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS CAME FROM#I EVEN HATE WHEN MEN DO ALL THOSE SOUNDS AT THE GYM#BUT THEN...#BAKUGOU KATSUKI#AND THE THOUGHT WAS: FUCK YEAH HE WOULD DEF SOUND SO FREAKING SEXYYYYYY#okay ill stop now goodnight#mha fanfiction#bnha fanfiction#mha bakugou katsuki#katsuki bakugou x reader#bnha bakugou katsuki#bakugou x reader#mha smut#bnha smut#mha imagines#mha headcanons#mha scenarios#bnha scenarios#bnha imagines#mha bakugo katsuki

i hate motherfuckers who base their whole personality on the sum experience of their formative years + the people they mostly interact with + some key impactful events in life + a small amount of traits they were just born with + their current interests and some other stuff probably. so fucking annoying...
#notifications blocked goodnight all of you#i like that theres people from both ends of the spectrum of opinions on how to build a personality in the tags#i just wanted to make a joke about when someone says the phrase “making it their entire personality”#its a nothing phrase
