By Night's End

Wasted one and a half hours of my evening watching this trash. No idea how this had a 5.3 rating on here. I used to depend on the ratings a lot but it's worth the time reading as many reviews as possible before you waste your own time.

Very low budget thrill-free thriller with a ridiculous plot and civic theater level acting. Not worth your time.

They get assaulted in their used home by criminals looking for some pre-existing valuable in it, that only the criminals knew about. They decide to wait to call the cops until they search their own home for the valuables.

Why didn't they just let the cops do their job, and then search for it? This movie is so stupid.

The characters and relationships are totally unrealistic.

The idea for this project is pretty good. But something felt not quite right. Could it be because it was just supposed to be a semi short film, like 30 to 40 minutes? But then someone in the production gets the idea to stretch it into more than an hour without proper thoughts on how not to spread it too thin. And I think that's what happened to this movie. It got too long for things that aren't significant. Like the scenes where they're looking for the hidden object that the bad guy. They weren't supposed to be that long. It made the movie felt so horribly boring! I was ready to stab my own eyes to make this movie stop! When will they finally find the object?! Of course I went with the more logical option, which was to fast forward through the rest of the searching scenes. I still think this movie deserves at least 5 stars for the acting. It's not too shabby. The fighting sequences could've used more choreography, though. They were so rough and disgraceful. In other words : the fighting sequences were lame.

Badly written and badly acted. Would have been a good concept but horrible.
