 Scared Me! September 26, 2005

I remembered seeing this movie. I think I was about 14. I could not sleep for days because I kept seeing that dead man with a thin mustache. What was the name of the girl that chewed on the toothbrush? The movie looked like it was not that scary but boy how wrong I was!
ONE LONG BUT OVERALL EFFECTIVE NIGHT July 11, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Meg Tilly stars as Julie, a wannabe-in-a-sorority teen whose initiation to spend the night in a mausoleum gets her and her companions in a whole lot of trouble. Surely, before you can even say oh-ho the dead'll be back in business, the living-dead do arise (much later, though), thanks to a recently deceased vampire-mind killer with a gift (don't ask). Despite all of its nonsense, ONE DARK NIGHT (AKA Rest in Peace, A Night in the Crypt, or Mausoleum) is a fun grade B movie that delivers, if only for its effective atmospheric build-up and its exciting dead-corpse galore conclusion. Tom McLoughlin's tight and well-executed direction makes up for a too stereotypical characterization and a too long-to-get-there horror action. But when the going gets tough, ONE DARK NIGHT is indeed a fun and chilling experience. It's just too bad McLoughlin's script couldn't have been more original.-----Martin Boucher

this is movie making at its very best. why is it that people in the 80's knew how to make a great horror movies. this movie stars meg tilly and adam west, meg tilly plays a young girl wanting to join a group called ' THE SISTERS'. the head girl of the group just so happens to be her boyfreinds ex girlfreind, the other two girls are not so bad. to join she must spend the entire night in a mausoleum, not knowing that it has just been entombed with a e.s.p killer who drainend the life from young girls.the " THE SISTERS" drop off meg tilly, but return to frighten her,knowing they gave her a flashlight that somehow does not work and pills that make her freak out. they tell her they are sleeping pills but they aren't. this is a movie i bought for nearly $40.00 used. i had seen it a long time ago on vhs at a video store, but it is not available to be bought or ordered from anywhere. if you like a good scary down to earth movie this is the one. i dont see this one ever going to video. what is out there is from video stores that they rented at one time or another. i am glad i found my copy. i think i will go watch it. I LOVE AMAZON. thanks amazon.

[For those interested in searching the auction sites for 'One Dark Night', it was also released on VHS as 'Rest in Peace' and 'A Night in the Crypt'] I saw 'One Dark Night' when it was released to the theatre in 1983. 'One Dark Night' has a good creepy build-up in it's story which eventually becomes an action filled fight for survival in a mausoleum. This is a story that begins with the death of a psychic named Raymar. Raymar's estranged daughter is visited by a strange investigator who is there to inform her of her father's past activities and try to convince her to stop what he suspects is her father's plan (don't get too comfortable with the idea that Raymar is dead). It seems that Raymar has spent his life (and frankly the lives of others) experimenting with life energy. At first he experimented with mice: taking the life energy from them and then reanimating and controlling their bodies with their own life energy. Raymar's obsession has eaten away at his humanity as Raymar has apparently been experimenting with humans (this is punctuated by an effective if not disturbing scene of several corpses in a closet). Alas, poor Raymar (I am not going to do it), I knew him Horatio (I am so weak); Raymar has bored of his accomplishments (?); but wait, there is hope; instead of reanimating others, could Raymar reanimate himself after death? Enter into the story a young high school girl played by Meg Tilly. Meg wants to be in this snooty (I am being kind) high school girls click, but she has to pass the initiation first (and you thought there was going to be a clever plot device,...nah). The girls put her up to spending a night alone in a mausoleum (but she won't be alone, Raymar was just entombed today). Of course the other girls are not going to let her off that easy as they plan to sneak into the mausoleum and scare her (boy those clever plot devices just keep flying off the scriptwriter's pen). I do believe we can all foresee what is about to happen. This movie does definitely have it's creepy moments and some good story development that cops out to a special effects filled climax. My main complaint about the climax is their confusion with the term animated. Raymar himself might as well have been played by a mannequin (for all I know, he probably was). For the climax to have been Raymar's plan, makes Raymar appear to not have been that bright (what was the point). If you look at this movie from a different perspective, however; that it is a fairly cliched movie with some originality thrown in; you may well find it to be quite entertaining and creepy.-Bob
Hidden Gem Of A Horror Movie!! July 27, 2004
I saw One Dark Night watching T.V. one night. It was about 1:00 A.M. and nothing was on so flipping through the channels I stumbled on to one of the best horror movies I've seen. I'd never heard of this film nor had I seen it anywhere. To this day I still look in my local video stores for it but nobody has it.
When you consider the setting for the film, a mausoleum, you know it's going to be creepy. Just the thought of sleeping overnight in a mausoleum makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand straight up. One dark night is a perfect movie to watch on a late evening or on Halloween night; it's a cinematic example of what Halloween is all about. Containing lots of spooky elements that you look for in horror films:
Mausoleums, Telekinesis, graveyard scenes, and coroner scenes,including a very strange and eerie scene where 6 dead girls are found in the recently deceased man's appartment all piled together with their staring eyes wide open! The background music is quite effective too in adding to the moviegoer's experience. Granted this isn't an Oscar nominated film but it is a great horror film never the less and well worth watching, if you can find it. I'd recommend this movie to anyone who loves the horror genre you shouldn't be disappointed.
