The Bloody Pit #33 - NEW YEAR'S EVIL (1980)
For the first of our annual podcasts focused on Holiday
Horrors we tackle 1980's NEW YEAR'S EVIL. A much maligned and neglected slasher
film, NYE boasts a number of high points that its terrible reputation would
have you think could never exist. While it is true that this film is a muddled
oddity, it has more than a few moments of brilliance. No one will ever call it
a masterpiece movie but it is never boring and it is highly entertaining -
sometimes for the wrong reasons. Plus- how many movies can manage to get you to
root for a homicidal maniac murdering innocent victims on a strict time schedule? No
matter what, that is a major cinematic accomplishment!
I am joined this time out by my longtime podcasting partner
from the NaschyCast, Troy Guinn as well as frequent Bloody Pit collaborator
John Hudson. We pick apart NEW YEAR'S EVIL calling out it's bizarre structure
and strange characters. Strangely, we find much to love in the movie as we spot
more than a few successes among the number of glaring flaws. We relate our
takes on the film as we discuss the story, comment on the unseal presentation
of the Punk music scene, question the casting of certain roles, complain about
the film's implausible timeline and posit some simple improvements that could have
taken NYE from near-forgotten oddity to slasher classic.
We prattle on for a quite a while with John fitting in
several wrestling metaphors but only one porn reference. Must have been an off
day. We discuss the short career of Roz Kelly and note her late 1990's brush
with the law. It is sad to see what become of Pinky Tuscadero. As the show
proceeds you'll hear me become stunned as I'm reminded of the existence of
Leather Tuscadero, a character I had mercifully blocked from my childhood reminiscences.
I guess you only remember the good things from your formative years, huh?
