Dead Night

Yes there were alot of things that could have been done better, but the story was solid, but there was definitely somethings lost in translation. The actors were great and the plot was good. The director was obviously new to this. The other reviews you read that trash the film should give it a try and see how they're reviewed. Every person giving a nasty review thinks their Francis Ford Coppela or something

I got curious after reading all the negative comments online about this movie. And after watching it I have to say, it's not that bad. Ok, I understand that the story and the plot are vague and it leaves many questions. But to give it such bad ratings and reviews is a bit out. There are movies that are way worse than this and yes, also better. It's not a masterpiece and won't be a favorite. But it still has some descent acting, descent fx, nice cinematography and atmosphere.

It starts off in a beautiful setting with decent imagery, acceptable characters and a unique concept. The practical effects on the monsters and transformations were amazing, and loved the gore. It starts off with a family traveling to a remote cabin up in the snowy mountains, think of a supernatural slasher with monster like elements. My main problem was how confusing the plot was, and everything kind of ended outta no where. The action we get is decent tho, but it lacks a GOOD explanation of what was going on and why. But I dug it, recommend it if you got nothing else to do with your time.

My quick rating - 4,9/10. Have you ever wondered how the news is going to report some supernatural, witch like massacre that occurs at a cabin in the woods (as always)? Well, this movie tries to give you just that, the way the media would report it, and how it actually happened. Pretty clever idea as this movie runs with the supernatural reality happening, while on the tv is a "true crimes" type show showing the case at the same time. The only real problem is with a nice idea like this, you really should craft a good story to do this with. The story itself just wasn't captivating enough to make the novel approach to telling it worth it. They did do a good job with the gore to keep you entertained though. Definitely sits on the "so close" bar of what could've been a really good flick. If you want to see a decent family gets slaughtered for no apparent reason movie, and don't mind the plot really not being explained in the slightest (the real plot, not the tv show plot) than you'll be fine with this one. Kept my attention after it got rolling, I just kept hoping for a bit more.

That is all not sure what kind of "spoiler" could be written about this movie
