The Dead of Night

Wtf is this, this movie is terrible. I mean I seen some dumb horror films but this takes it to a new level of stupidity, to the point I wanted to walk out of the room I was watching it in, multiple times because of how terrible it is. I could hire a group of middle schoolers to write a horror movie at least 10x as good. This movie made me cringe so hard tik tok doesn't seem as bad. God this movie is terrible

An amazing film. Well worth watching and unbelievable it has such a low score. Great story line, great location, great acting and great soundtrack.

On top of that it has the legendary Lance Henriksen.

If you're having doubts about watching this just give it a go, it had me hook line and sinker from the word go.

I've just wasted 130 mins of my life.

Was there actually a script....or did they wing it...!

I kept hoping it would get better.....it got worse.

The scenes and characters were disjointed....nothing flowed. Things just didn't hold your interest.

There was no explanation as to why things happened the way they did and to whom...

You never really got a background on any of the characters....so it wasn't emotionally investing when something happened to them.

Please no sequels..!

Not completely awful, but not far away. The camera work is pretty good, and there is some decent acting in the build up. The violence is not over the top, much is seen from a distance, or not seen as it happens out of shot. It is not a gorefest but works quite well. It is the action/suspense scenes that make this movie a turn off. There is no discernable storyline. There is no rhyme nor reason to anyone's action or reaction, whether that be killers or victims. There are scenes that are lifted from other films, such as The Devil's Rejects, and Scary Movie. It all seems very random and haphazard. There is an attempt at a plot twist at the end, that is just another indescriminate and unexplained event. The final outcome is unclear, but I found I did not care enough to be frustrated by this. It was just a relief it was over.

Here me out. The movie was made with little budget I am sure and it definitely is as good as most horror movies I've seen in the last 3 years.

The music is good, the cast, set, scenes and acting do a good job of creating an authentic NM scene.

It is a bit raw and has some moments you will be screaming use the camera stabilizer but you will also be on the edge of your seat saying 'do this' and 'why did these idiots not do that..' Classic

If you could fault it for anything I would say it would be the wrap-up that will leave you with a little bit of 'how the hell did this happen' and 'what are they insinuating is next'.

It is a but anguishing, just like many other horror movie endings.

Perhaps the sequel will be better and with a bigger budget next time.

My daughter and I are horror fans and we will be looking for one from Robert Dean.

Our review ends with a suggestion to grab your movie partner and give it a go!
