Kristel (Victoria Koblenko) was arguing with her father during a late night drive when tragedy struck. Now saddled with the knowledge that her late father was one the verge of finishing a book about an early-19th Century child killer who had made a deal with the devil in exchange for the ability to move in and out of hell, Kristel and a group of friends travel to the mine shaft where her father had been doing research in order to retrieve his personal belongings. After arriving at the site and gathering her father's materials, Kristel and company are persuaded to venture 200 feet underground in order to take a guided tour of the mine. During the tour, it's revealed that during the time that the mine was in operation condemned convicts were offered the opportunity to avoid the hangman's noose by testing the shaft for deadly methane gas; if the criminal survived the excursion they were subsequently granted complete immunity for their crimes. The maniac behind those horrific child murderers had taken such a gamble after being given that option, and by all accounts perished in the subsequent explosion. When the tour is over and the elevator to the surface fails, the group playfully attempts to kill some time by communicating with the dead via the ouija board that belonged to Kristel's father. Unfortunately for all involved, the spiritualistic apparatus opens a portal through which the demonic spirit of the child killer passes, immediately possessing one of the teens and driving her on a murderous rampage. Now, as the rest of the trapped tourists attempt to make the way through the underground maze and to the perceived safety of the surface, a supernatural killer leaps from body to body in a bloody attempt to locate a mysterious treasure while collecting as many severed heads as possible. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Plays out as more of a suspense film at first, but when the gore hits, it does so in amusingly grotesque fashion.

    Good horror film. You've seen it all before, but if your like me, when has that ever stopped you from enjoying something? But enough with the shaky camera already!

    I thought that Slaughter Night was a pretty decent horror movie. You get juvenile acting just like in any low budget horror movie. The gore was minimal all that you get is a couple of very bloodless scenes. So if your asking where the decent movie part comes in it's all in the su... read morespense. You get a few suspenseful scenes. In typical slasher movie form the characters begin to turn on each other after the killing starts this actually gives you a few intense moments. The plot is hard to describe without giving it away but lets just say that it is a typical, predictable plot. I knew who was safe from the moment I sat down. Bottom line if you are expecting one of those non stop gore fest of a movie that the French have been releasing here lately then skip this one the gore here is hardly existent. But for a reasonably suspenseful French horror flick check this out.

    A decent enough little ghost story, though a tad heavy on the shaky cam at times.

    Worth a rental.
