Bloody New Year (1987) (UK)

aka Time Warp Terror/Horror Hotel

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2


A group of friends draw the ire of some elderly punks when they save a young lass from their shitty intentions. They escape by boat, forced to make landfall at a nearby island when they damage their vessel on a rock. A little exploring brings them to a hotel which is strangely decorated for the Christmas/New Year’s season even though it’s currently July. They decide to make themselves comfortable and slowly realize things are pretty damn weird in this random-ass island hotel. We learn that in the early hours of New Year’s Day, 1960, an experimental airplane crashed on the island and caused time to go all cattywampus. The past clashes with the present and things get dangerous as the whole damn place turns against the stuck idiots. A half crispy pilot follows them around, various creepers pop in and out of our dimension and one of their own gets possessed or something and becomes a hideously deformed psychopath. Nice and weird with more than a couple bizarre flourishes to keep you smiling. There’s also some well-orchestrated violence and a couple likable characters to root for... and some dinks to root against.
