Very disappointing...

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

This 2015 horror features 8 teenage friends who decide to ditch their high school dance and have a party of their own. They borrow a school bus which runs out of gas and look for the nearest residence. They find an old house and become stalked by a cannibalistic killer lurking there. What can I say? This is a weak slasher flick that tries to pay tribute/homage to 70's & 80's films of the genre. It starts OK, but falls flat. The characters aren't really likable, some scenes are very dark and the deaths aren't that impressive. Robert Patrick (The Faculty) appears as an ex-army soldier turned vice principal. I'd probably watch this once only if you're a fan of slasher or Grindhouse films.

People who are still under their 30's shouldn't watch this because they won't understand it at all. This is made for those who grew up in the eighties or earlier. Yes, this will take you back to the heydays of the slashers. It takes a while before things go awry but once it does it's pure entertainment. It isn't that gory after all but it will satisfy those who love slashers. There's a bit of humour added with the reel missing when the goriest stuff should be shown. For me it was a mediocre flick, why, because it do misses a few typical slasher stuff, there's no point of view to see, only once but it didn't work out because the victims already saw their killer standing in front of them. Secondly the necessary nudity was missing too. But hey, it still is an ode to those flicks and it even shows with a cameo by Halloween 2 director Rick Rosenthal as the sheriff. You don't watch it for the performances, you watch it for the slashing and there are a few to catch. Said it before, for the lovers of the good old slashers.Gore 1,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2,5/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5

"Lost After Dark" is a nice little throw-back to 1980s slasher films complete with bimbos, crimped hair, heavily moussed hair, ankle warmers, and (of course) that "Flashdance" look. The story is about as simple as you can get--natch, it's an homage to 80s slasher films--eight teenagers (who really don't have much in common) decide to ditch a prom and go to one girl's uncle's cabin waaay out in the middle of nowhere. They steal a bus and away they go. Trouble is, the bus runs out of gas in the middle of nowhere (but not too far from an abandoned looking house) and there the fun begins. Teenagers are offed in some pretty gruesome ways, but you've seen it before.I will give the actors and the director props on giving/keeping this film in the 80s. They even had cassette tapes and a boom box! The film also had a nice look to it, and although I do not see any forthcoming nominations for an Oscar, the acting was better than most movies set in the 1980s. Robert Patrick (of "Terminator 2" fame) gives your typical 1980s vice-principal bad ass a boost.Rated "R" for gore and language try "Lost After Dark" if you want to take a trip down the 1980s slasher memory lane.

I gotta say loved it.It one of its kind brought in recent years.Views can easily feel themselves back in 80s.The atmosphere is very well felt like the director is not capable of making this movie with all the bells and whistles he has to play with in 2014.I mean no unnecessary visual effects were used like its supposed to be.So it is a success.You have to let it all go in your mind before you watch the movie and watch it without any extreme expectations.Then you will find the great enjoyment which the director is giving to you.Straight movie in short.It should be unfair to compare to the other titles because of its uniqueness for recent years.Last words from me,I also really enjoyed the language and the script.
