Farah R. @Farah 1d One of the best twists in 80s horror is water on a low budget slasher with special effects makeup that’s not bad in a good, campy way. See more Melissa L @Agent99 Jan 1 It's a low-budget '80s horror movie which isn't really good, but it's not too bad. See more Kevin W 01/01/2025 A true Horror classic, with a stunning twist. The music and tonal vibes keeps you on your toes, in what should be a Holiday Season standard for all! See more Lucas t @Groovy 08/06/2024 Better than Terror Train. Barely. See more Jayster 3 07/16/2024 Underrated. This movie is a pretty good and brilliant slasher and psychological horror of the 80’s. Loved it.

What I got was something completely different. NEW YEAR'S EVIL starts out as a slasher, becomes more of a thriller, and ends up as a family drama of some sorts. I liked the plot idea (psycho killer murders someone every time another part of the U.S. celebrates new year's, with our characters celebrating in Los Angeles), but that doesn't cover how wild this film gets. Not with the kills or sleazy sex scenes a la NEW YORK RIPPER, but with how coked up everyone is in this film. Especially the horny nurse and some party teens don't seem to know where they are most of the time. We get some shitty band promoting their new (and maybe only) album (think of GRADUATION DAY), a son with some major mommy issues, biker gangs, and the iconic ch-ch-ch-ma-ma-ma cue when Jason stalks his pray. Wait.. All in all, a wonderful "slasher" with an interesting concept, that's elevated by insane acting, direction, and music choices. Not really so bad it's good, but more: kinda okay with major benefits in the crazy department. See more Read all reviews
