Lost After Dark (2015)
Should be called lost in the dark as it's all so damn murky.
Playing like a homage to 80's slasher films, Lost After Dark has it's heart in the right place but is clumsy in it's execution. For a start the teens are largely faceless individuals, characterization is practically none existent even though we are stuck with these people for 40 minutes before anything remotely interesting happens on screen.
However if blood and guts is what you hanker for then the final twenty minutes delivers in spades and the final reel is full of nods to several of the Halloween franchise.
