  • The story is about about two families (one white, one Asian) who come together unexpectedly on a local night of carnival trickery and festivity. This movie was filmed not very far away Where I live, this movie is funny and enjoyable.

  • Unorthodox, pretty original, pretty fun with a strong performance from relative unknown Noell Coet. Completely watchable horror film with a minimal plot and static atmosphere, Mischief Night was a pleasant surprise.

  • I just watched Mischief Night. It was an edge-of-your-seat spellbinding movie. Their is not a single dull moment in this story of a terrifying home invasion the night before Halloween.Noell Coet should get awards, to include an academy award nod for her spectacular starring role as a blind Emily Walton in this great horror/thriller movie. Likewise, Daniel Hugh Kelly gave a brilliant and powerful performance as young Emily's (Noell Coet) father. Frankly, the entire cast in this movie was terrific. Their wasn't a single weak performance by anyone in this movie. They were all stellar performances. Without doubt this is an very well acted movie.Mischief Night puts a new bent on an old school type of horror picture that brings this genre in to the very best of present day horror/thriller types of flicks. Frankly, it is a unique horror/thriller picture for this very reason. Modern day "old school." There is nothing quite like it anywhere. That's what makes this movie so captivating and why the screen play writers and director also deserve accolades.Put Mischief Night down in your "must see" movie list. You really don't want to miss this one. It could become a cult classic.

  • 'Mischief Night' is described as a comedy-thriller, but I thought it was a sad depiction of racial intolerance in inner city Leeds. Perhaps it just portrays real life, I can't judge that. The film was brilliantly acted by all the cast, but was spoilt by a silly ending which didn't fit the tone the of the film.(I had never heard of Mischief Night - it's a bit of English culture that I've never experienced!)

  • an odd, and at times, uneven mix of comedy and drama. it's a shame it all fizzles out at the end when the confrontation that is building never happens but it's still a good bit of fun.

  • hilarious comedy set in the north of england. Gritty, insightful and above all quite truthful! The film shows proper working class folk, warts and all. The great thing is that some of 'em are white and some 'em are brown but they're all common as muck. It was like watching my own childhood!

  • Definitely worth a butchers. Its basically East is East with a sprinkling of Shameless. A well shot and considered piece of lottery funded Brit flick. It tackles the racial issues of nothern England well without getting up its own arse. Kelli Hollis (of Shameless fame) holds the plot together well playing single mother Tina.
