When WMIA news reporter Dana Diamond goes in search of the ultimate story she gets more than she bargains for. On a riot-torn Halloween night (Devil's Night) Dana is lured into an old, decrepit house by Leonard, a sadistic transient, promising her real-life violence she can capture on camera. Inside, her worst nightmares are realized as she now becomes the ultimate story. Dana is kidnapped by Leonard's crazed, incentuous family; Fermentia, the matriarch, and Pussey, her daughter, who live in a house full of stinking, rotting, decades old-garbage. Will Dana survive the unrelenting attacks of her merciless tormentors?

When she follows a transient after witnessing him torturing a woman, a sensationalism seeking TV reporter gets more than she bargains for on Hell Night. Very tongue in cheek feeling short film which plagiarizes Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but sadly lacks any of the fear or dread of Tobe Hoopers classic. At only 35 minutes its at least over quickly but it must be noted that for a film featuring everything from scrotum bobbing to eye lid slashing its very underwhelming and fails to affect you in anyway.
