No, this isn't a sequel to the Mischief Night we reviewed earlier this year . It is in fact the same Mischief Night mentioned on this site before we even knew about the Mischief Night that stars the brother of the guy who starred in Sliders. Travis Baker's flick will finally see the light of the day via After Dark Originals, which is part of Lionsgate yo, who unleashed a new trailer today. And we have it for yah.

There's been a lot of home-invasion movies released the last several years; The Purge , Mischief Night and The Strangers to name a few. While some are better than others, there's usually something missing -- and something annoying -- about them all. Where does Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett's You're Next fit in the mix? Stick with me! When the Davison family comes under attack during their wedding anniversary getaway, the gang of mysterious killers soon learns that one of victims harbors a secret talent for fighting back. Take note of those last two words, because that's what makes all the difference with You're Next. Someone. Fights. Back. Which people aren't supposed to do in movies like this. The victims are supposed to be self-important, well-off people who make stupid decisions and get messed up by the killer or killers. Well, those people are in this movie too. But so is someone who fights back. In fact, this " Final Girl " is...

Mischief Night Jason: This is a solid little scary movie that uses all the cliches and camera tricks John Carpenter honed to perfection with his Halloween , and to good effect. The filmmakers also bring a few new tricks to the table that I don't want to spoil. Yes, the characters make the same stupid mistakes most do in flicks like this. But the majority of Mischief Night is well enough made and delivers the goods that I didn't care. And the payoff is most satisfying too. Credit must be given to Noell Coet . She owns this movie, at least for the most part. And the fact her character is blind elevates the material to a new level. This is a Good for me. It's one of those diamonds in the rough we dig so much here in The Basement. Shawn: Oh my gawd, I can not handle this horror movie stupidity. I can't. Stop making movies where everyone has to split up, leave someone somewhere, or do the stupidest shit known to man. Flip side, if aliens come to invade, after recei...

Have Jason and Shawn saved the best for last? Well, this is could be the last podcast from The Basement for the next little while, and it's certainly the most profane and potentially vulgar episode in years, so perhaps. Perhaps. The Basement Dwellers have lined up a diverse mix of film de cinema for your listening pleasure, touching on slasher movies, the birth of the zombie craze, and a celebration of Basement cinema circa 2013. First on the chopping block is Mischief Night, a low-budget horror flick that takes place on the night before Halloween, AKA Mischief Night. Richard Schenkman 's tale follows young Emily Walton , who has suffered from psychosomatic blindness ever since the car accident that took her mother's life, as she summons every instinct at her disposal to protect herself and her loved ones from a mysterious intruder. Is this a welcome return to slow-burn terror or a great big bore? Or both? Stick with us! Then the Basement Boys sit down with writ...

No, we're not being sucked into some dark and scary basement never to be seen again. But Shawn and I are going on a little hiatus -- taking a breather if you will -- from daily updates and twice-monthly podcasts. It's all my fault really, as I have a heavy rewrite to finish on Eye See Death , and it's turned out to be a bigger job than I anticipated. Way bigger. But all good. This will be winner when it hits the big screen . Trust me! Fear not, there's still a podcast waiting in the wings. Our reviews of the slasher flick Mischief Night and Night of the Living Dead documentary Birth of the Living Dead -- plus our Top 5 movies of 2013 -- lands on Friday , Jan. 10. After that? A good six to eight weeks could pass before The Basement returns. And when we do, there's a chance the daily updates will be a thing of the past. As for the podcast? Things will be decidedly less radio friendly. Trust me on that. Until then, stick with us! Related articles 5...

The night before Halloween can be just as dark and mischievous as All Hallows Eve, only with a less supernatural slant. It's not known as Devil's Night or Mischief Night for nothin'. Pranks, vandalism, you name it. It goes down on Mischief Night. For reasons unknown, horror filmmakers haven't taken advantage of the lesser-known holiday . . . until now. Thank you, director Richard Schenkman! And Specticast, Ruthless Pictures and GMI Films, who are ready to release his slasher flick on the night in question -- Oct. 30. This is a one-night only screening and we've no word on where Mischief Night will play. Too bad too, as this would be something us Basementites would check out. But you know we'll catch it when we can. The trailer does hold promise. Mischief Night tells the story of a terrifying home invasion on the evening before Halloween. Emily Walton, a young woman suffering from psychosomatic blindness ever since the car accident that took her mothe...

What if Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees developed the hots for the hot girls they were trying to kill? I kinda sorta think that's what's being alluded to in the below trailer for Mischief Night. Written and directed by Travis Baker, this indie horror film takes the stereotypical story of a teenage babysitter stalked by a masked killer and turns it on its ear, with killer and victim developing romantic feelings for each other. Shawn and I aren't big on romance, so Mischief Night -- that's the night before Halloween to you -- has a tough road to slog. But . . . and this is a heavy but . . . if Baker can deliver the goods and keep the romance dark and disturbing, this could work. Plus he's got Malcolm McDowell playing a character named Dr. Smiles, so maybe this will have a sense of humour too. Besides, who doesn't like a Halloween-themed scary movie? No word yet on when Mischief Night will hit theatres. As always, Basement Dwellers, we'll keep you pos...
