Invitation to Hell is Mr Murphy's minimalist gung-ho farmyard horror film- Maurice (Colin Efford) is a mute bodybuilder who exercises in front of porno pictures- Maurice works on Manor Farm where a bunch of students have unleashed 'the eternal lustings of the evil being'. The Last Night depicts a shoddy bunch of amateur dramatic actors being terrorised by two escaped lunatics and is unique for being shot entirely in somnambulist slow motion - unsurprisingly when Invitation was reissued (in censored form) this support was not included. It was never to be shown that way though and debuted on tape via a fly by night distributor around 1982- double billed with The Last Night, another short from the Michael J Murphy stable- bringing it to feature length.
SPOILERS INCLUDED Invitation to Hell is a true mystery production- only three quarters of an hour long it seems to have been planned as a support featurette to a major release film, a brief niche in the dying days of both double features and the British film industry.
