Another nasty at lasty

What movie are we going to do today, friends? How about another from the notorious Video Nasties list? What? That's what you want? OK, then. How about this one?

It's none other than NIGHT WARNING AKA BUTCHER, BAKER, NIGHTMARE MAKER.

How about a link to the film?




You got it.

So, Night Warning. Good choice on my part. Go me! Basic plot here is a teenager named Billy loses his parents to a wicked awful crash with a truck carrying unsecured timber. Ouch. Billy goes to live with his ever so delightful, caring, and gentle soul, his aunt Cheryl, played by Susan Tyrrell. Oh, she's actually pretty unhinged. She's a cannon that needs tightening.

After a television repairman is killed, detective Joe Carlson (Bo Svenson), with a raging case of homophobia, is convinced Billy killed him and begins harassing him and badgering him.

I'm pretty sure Joe's got the wrong guy, here. Know what I'm saying? Anyways, with Billy due to graduate soon, his dear old aunt begins to falls apart at the seams at the thought of Billy leaving home and the cracks that appear suggest Auntie has her own secret fantasies about Billy.

What emerges is a fantastically psychotic Susan Tyrrell that goes absolutely apeshit bonkers.

Night Warning is a great and entertaining film ride. I'll always be a big fan of Susan Tyrrell and her death last year left me in shock. She was a one of a kind personality and will be missed. Her performance in this film is one of her more entertaining ones, in my opinion. Thanks for the memories, SuSu.
