A Night of Total Terror (1996) User Reviews

Good independent short film made by a teenager.

It is difficult to objectively judge such films. It is an independent film, made by a teenager. As the inscription on the poster says, it's made without a crew, without a budget and without a script. Sixteen-year James Rolfe recorded the movie in one weekend on his VHS camera. The film looks cheap and a little primitive. But it has that something. It has a climate. This is a short film, so the action is progressing quite quickly. It's black'n white movie, and it's great, because it gives a dark atmosphere. You can see that this guy put a little work and his heart into creation of this movie. This is a good movie for people who want to start making movies. It shows that even as a teenager, you can make something interesting. But it is also an interesting story with a surprising ending.

Great one and worth to watch!

I love this silent homemade movie and the settings, actors and how James makes the atmosphere for the movie, also the poster's so cool.

Bad, but good.

Considering it was made by a 15 (turning 16) year old wannabe filmmaker, I raised the rating from 1 to 5, just because of what it led to. It certainly isn't his best movie, but I'll cut it some slack considering there was no script, no budget, no tripod, but what it does have, is ambition. This ambitious, yet awful project, turned that kid into a legendary, almost celebrity figure, with millions of fans loving him and his creations. That's something you have to admire about this movie, not the execution, but the ambition, the ambition to do something, the ambition to contribute something to this world. I'd say he succeeded.
