Watch The Night Brings Charlie For Free

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Here's another very obscure and tiresome late 80's/early 90's slasher (seriously, where do they keep emerging from?) with an ultra-thin plot and dim-witted characters, but hey, at least there's also some exciting gore and welcome gratuitous nudity on display as well. Thank God for that! "The Night Brings Charlie" – can't help loving the title – is one of those horror flicks that don't seem to bother giving the maniacal killer a double identity. Charlie is simply and straightforward introduced at the beginning, along with the rest of the uninteresting characters. He's a gardener who wears a bag over his head, but everybody seems to think that is completely normal. For you see, Charlie's face got heavily mutilated in a "chainsaw accident". How the hell can that even happen?!? Who "accidentally" cuts up his face with a freaking chainsaw? Either way, even though this appears to be the smallest community in the entire USA, Charlie can get away with cutting off teenager heads with a tree saw, making prank phone calls to the police force and even single-handedly modifying the number of population on the town's welcoming board. The local coroner, who has to investigate all the headless bodies, becomes very worried for the safety of his own teenage daughter. Heck, who wouldn't become nervous if you live in the town with the world's most incompetent police force looking for a deranged killer who's right under their nose? After a few pointless but nevertheless exhilarating sequences, including a totally random showering interlude of a very hot chick with a lovely thong and an impressive pair of blouse-bunnies, the plot suddenly makes some very peculiar and even downright retarded twists that are nearly impossible to describe. Charlie has a doppelganger? Or someone who copycats his sinister appearance? And, finally, there's a very absurd twist that basically comes down to this: they guy whom you have been suspecting to be the killer since the beginning of the film already is, in fact, … the killer! Awesome! And now that's listing weird aspects anyway, there are a number of kooky supportive characters in this film as well, like a teenager with two different haircut styles, a bossy police radio operator and a Oliver Hardy look-alike coroner assistant who walks in and out of the screen during the most inappropriate moments. "The Night Brings Charlie" is a bizarre mixture of off-screen killings and explicitly nasty on screen murders. The film has a really stupid climax, but at least it's never boring. So, no complaints.

It really boggles my mind when someone comes across a movie like this and claims it to be one of the worst slasher films out there. This is by far not one of the worst out there, still not a good movie, but not the worst nonetheless. Go see something like Death Nurse or Blood Lake and then come back to me and tell me if you think the Night Brings Charlie is the worst. The film has decent camera work and editing, which is way more than I can say for many more extremely obscure slasher films.The film doesn't deliver on the on-screen deaths, there's one death where you see his pruning saw rip into a neck, but all other deaths are hardly interesting. But the lack of on-screen graphic violence doesn't mean this isn't a slasher film, just a bad one.The film was obviously intended not to be taken too seriously. The film came in at the end of the second slasher cycle, so it certainly was a reflection on traditional slasher elements, done in a tongue in cheek way. For example, after a kill, Charlie goes to the town's 'welcome' sign and marks the population down one less. This is something that can only get a laugh.If you're into slasher films, definitely give this film a watch. It is slightly different than your usual slasher film with possibility of two killers, but not by much. The comedy of the movie is pretty much telling the audience to relax and not take the movie so god darn serious. You may forget the movie, you may remember it. I'll remember it because I love the name.

I really like slasher movies,but this one is truly awful.The acting is lame,the script is bad,and the atmosphere is non-existent.The plot is as follows:a deformed gardener Charlie Puckett slaughters people in a small American town.That's right-this is the plot.Very original,eh!"The Night Brings Charlie" isn't even gory enough-if the film ain't gonna be scary,at least they should make it bloody.Avoid this cheap piece of trash at all costs.If you want to see some good slasher flicks check out "Madman","The Burning","The Prowler","Just Before Dawn" or "Humongous"- just don't waste your precious time with this worthless piece of garbage.

I rented this movie because I was browsing through the horror movie section for those movies that no one's heard of and could be a possible gem. I saw this and, since I'm a fan of violence and gore, I got it. It got the rating of EM which means: Extremely Mature. Thinking that this rare and high rating was totally meant for violence and everything else, I got it. The warning on the box said: Extreme Violence, Extreme Langauge, and Nudity. The "extreme violence" struck my fancy. The movie ended being a pretty tame slasher flick. It had one or two gory scenes but I've seen worse in a PG-13 movie. Of course the amount of gore in a movie isn't all that counts, right? You have plot also. Well, the plot was boring and there nothing really special about it. Don't rent it. I speak the truth. I can't imagine how someone could really enjoy it to the point where they say: "I'm gonna rent that again." It had it's moments where it kept you going but I'm never going to see that film again.
