Movie Info

Billy (Jimmy McNichol, Kristy's younger brother) knows something is wrong when he comes home and finds that his batty, sexually repressed Aunt Cheryl (Susan Tyrrell in a stellar performance), has ruthlessly murdered the TV repairman -- not because he was inept or overcharged, but because she was overcharged and he managed to resist her advances. A gay-bashing detective (Bo Svenson) ignores the bare facts and single-mindedly plans to pin the murder on Billy for hanging out with a sexually suspect

More thriller than horror and the title and poster have nothing to do with anything in this film. Its also badly paced but still it turns out to be a decent time waster.

Night Warning is a relatively unknown film, which is a shame because it is a truly effective and fairly original slasher/thriller because explore subjects very rarely touch in this genre. The story is very intriguing, full of mystery, suspense, and some solid shocks.The excellent cast is another strong feature of this movie.
