Directed by Norman J. Warren, it concerns a group of British teenagers trapped on a haunted hotel on a remote island. PlotIn 1959, a group of partygoers celebrate at a New Year's Eve party at a hotel before mysteriously disappearing. Decades later, couples Lesley and Tom; Janet and Rick; and their friend, Spud, are spending the day at a seaside funfair, when they run afoul of local hooligans after rescuing an American tourist named Carol. Running from the gang, they take a boat out to sea, only to run aground and be left stranded on an island. They stumble across the Grand Island Hotel, only to find it abandoned, with no sign of staff or guests; the lobby is adorned with Christmas decorations and a Christmas tree, despite the fact that it is July. While by the fireplace, Spud offers to seek a towel for Carol, who is shivering and damp. Just as he leaves, the apparition of a maid enters and offers Carol a towel, which she takes. Meanwhile, Spud hears music coming from the empty ballroom, and witnesses a live duo performing onstage, who disappear before his eyes. In a guest's room, Janet and Rick dress themselves in fresh clothing they discover, but Janet is disturbed by the apparition of a woman she sees in the mirror. In the basement while looking for the building's braker, Lesley and Tom are disturbed by fireworks which inexplicably ignite. Later, the group find an empty theater in the hotel screening Fiend Without a Face. Rick, convinced someone is staging an elaborate prank, attempts to turn off the projector, but inadvertently plays a vintage promotional reel for the hotel showing partygoers in front of the entrance. In the theater, Spud is attacked by a figure who emerges out of the screen, and killed. The group separate to find a way off the island, and are each plagued by bizarre and/or supernatural events: Lesley and Tom come across a cottage near the shore, where Lesley is attacked by a monstrous figure which vanishes after Tom spears it; Janet and Rick hear disembodied voices in the woods and witness a plane crash into an adjacent building; and Carol experiences a snowstorm inside the hotel, which inexplicably disappears. Lesley summons the group to the seaside cottage to find Tom, where they are attacked by the three hooligans from the funfair. One of the men kills Lesley by impaling her through the abdomen, immediately after which she transforms into a zombie, and throws him to his death. Back at the hotel, the disfigured Lesley kills one of the hooligans by twisting his head off, and Janet is attacked by a banister carving which comes to life. Rick shoots Lesley, apparently killing her. An injured Tom returns to the hotel, and is cared for by Janet; meanwhile Rick and Carol seek the hooligans' boat, and come across another airplane crash site. Tom transforms into a zombie himself, and attacks Janet. She flees into a lift and is pursued by Tom, but he is killed after the lift crushes and ultimately dismembers his arm. Trapped in the lift, Janet is attacked by a figure which absorbs her into the walls of the building. Pursued by the last of the hooligans, Carol and Rick return, and witness a series of apparitions and poltergeist activities in the hotel. The hooligan is killed in the kitchen after falling into a large vat. They flee to the ballroom, where they are greeted by a woman in a ballgown onstage. She informs them that they are trapped in a timewarp resulting from a government-funded science experiment that went awry when a plane containing a time-altering machine crashed on the island on New Year's Eve 1959. As Carol and Rick flee through the hotel, the hooligans, as well as their friends—all now zombies—attack them, and push them through a window on a rolling pool table. The two run for the shoreline, and Carol manages to board the hooligans' boat, while Rick becomes trapped in quicksand, and is killed by one of the zombified hooligans. Carol is pulled under the water, and reemerges behind a mirror in the ballroom, where she watches her friends join the New Years' Eve party. Cast
ProductionWarren was approached by Maxine Julius to make a horror film for her, and he developed the plot over seven days with line producer Hayden Pearce.[1] Warren intended the film as a reminder of 1950s B movies, with the film set on an island that is trapped in a time warp where it is always New Year's Eve, 1959.[1] The film was shot in and around Barry Island with Friars Point House used as the Grand Hotel location.[1] ReleaseIn the United States, the film was released directly to VHS and betamax on 22 October 1987, through Academy Home Entertainment.[2] ReceptionDennis Schwartz, in his review for Ozus' World Movie Reviews, considered Bloody New Year to be a "teens-in-peril exploitation horror film from England. Under the cheesy direction of Norman J. Warren (Gunpowder/Terror/Spaced Out) this is the final film of the schlock-master. What prevails is a goofy film with not much plot. The dialogue is written by Frazer Pearce and is brutal. The reason for the time-warp is never explained, even though it's central to the premise."[3]References1. ^1 2 Fischer, Dennis (2011) Science Fiction Film Directors, 1895-1998, McFarland & Co., {{ISBN|978-0786460915}}, pp. 650–651 2. ^{{cite news|work=The Palm Beach Post|location=West Palm Beach, Florida|title=Horror|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/27759504/the_palm_beach_post/|p=22|via=Newspapers.com|date=16 October 1987}} {{open access}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://homepages.sover.net/~ozus/bloodynewyear.html|title=bloodynewyear|website=homepages.sover.net|access-date=2017-01-03}} External links
