New Year’s Evil (1980)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

AKA:
Directed by: Emmett Alston
Starring: Roz Kelly (Blaze), Kip Niven (Richard), Grant Cramer (Derek)
Country: USA; Effed Up American Cinema
Language: English (Optional Eng Subs)
Runtime: 01:25:28
Genres: Killer, Gruesome, Violence against Women

Plot – Spoilers:
A popular tv host, Blaze, is emceeing a Hollywood rock show as they count down to the New Year. Among her callers is this guy who plans on killing one woman for every American time-zone that rolls through the New Year.

New Year’s Evil is one among many ’80s slashers with its share of bad tropes including mommy issues and dumb women like this one girl who thinks buttoning up her exposed breasts is more important than fleeing from a maniac who just threatened her boyfriend with a knife. But it’s a fair watch for those who enjoy the genre and includes some catchy retro pop-rock that’s proclaimed to be New Wave.

Terrible film. It’s just a joke and a sad one at that. 1 star.

I’m in the process of watching every movie on EUM. When I am finished I will be making “Old Mother Hubbard’s Top 100 Movies On EUM.” I will also be making “Old Mother Hubbard’s Top 25 Picks For WORST Movies On EUM.” So far, off the top of my head, these movies will be in the WORST OF list:
“Freezer Baby” (2024)
“Breaking Her Will” (2009)
“Sunken Danish” (2012)
“100 Tears” (2007)
“A Hole In My Heart” (2004)
“Be My Cat” (2015)
“New Year’s Evil” (1980)

I still have a bunch of movies to watch but my lists should be ready sometime in June or July 2026.
