Night of the Hell Hamsters is a professional horror tale which is surprisingly effective as both a horror short and as a humorous macabre tale. It has the feel of an old world late nite film with a great overblown horror sound score. It also features some lovely photography, false starts (such as the boyfriend appearing in the shadows at the door) and all the classic horror tricks including a very tongue in cheek sense of humour. The Ouija board gag is a nice take, using a kids toy with a shot glass and a drop of blood gives it an effectively perverse twist.

The possessed Hamsters are great, fun, bloody and cheesy. The ending is classic horror fare, the strong female fighting against all odds, using whatever is at hand, especially considering her boyfriend has just lost his innards to a killer hamster. But, of course, alas, things only get worse and she has whole world of them to face
