This week we revisited another old favorite, 1980's New Year's Evil. Much like the previous revisit, Hospital Massacre/X-Ray, this flick is one we have been thinking on off and on since our original episode on it. Just like that flick, this is a horror movie with a simple gimmick that is used throughout its entire runtime to make it stand out from the pack. Unlike the previous movie, however, this one is much more successful in doing what it wants to doo, even if the results are still not everything they could be.
Despite that, New Year's Evil does stand out in what it wants to do, and definitely has the makings of a holiday favorite nonetheless. Even after 40 years, there is still no New Year themed chiller anywhere near as memorable as this, if there are any! Given that, and the usual Cannon weirdness, it still stands out from the crowd.
JD's Score: 3/5
