New Year’s Evil (Blu-ray Review)

New-Year's-EvilNew Year’s Evil is one of the more better known or higher profile golden age slasher films that has yet to see its release on Blu-ray.  That is no longer a thing as Scream Factory is rectifying the situation come February 24.  And mainly its in the conscience because its a one of them that got to claim one of the biggest holiday’s in their title.  Its a film that is a face paced, race against the clock thriller as a man tries to off a woman for every time zone in the United States’ hits the midnight hour.  Yes, that’s all very silly, but its all very fun at the same time.  Looking back on this film has become a lot more fun than during the time when it was supposed to be “scary”.  Time has been kind to it and allowed us to see it in a different way than maybe it was before.  As told on the bonus features, this was a pleasant, happy and fun production to work on and it shows on both the film and this Blu-ray release.
