Night's End

Some of the worst acting i ever seen it started off so slow so i fast forwarded it and well it didnt get any better. I seen alot worst but this is up there with them.

I thought it was a little bit campy, and maybe that's what some of you were missing? It had gusto, and I enjoyed that. A couple of the characters were totally wacky and entertaining.

Haters of this movie will probably tell you to go watch The Conjuring, then give themselves a high-five.

A bigger budget does not always result in a better film, if the heart's not there. I thought this one was just fine, thank you.

One twist, about 4 minutes before the movie ended gave me hope by the time this Night does End, it may tie everything together and save the movie.

This did not happen and so, I've rated this the rare and dreaded 1/10 stars. I almost rated it a half-star more for the cast trying their hearts out in this micro-MICRO budget movie that cut costs and corners everywhere. But really, these people weren't trying. Unless they thought they were on a Disney Channel, G-Rated scary special aimed at toddlers.

Do NOT watch this waste of 81 minutes. It's so boring, so poorly acted and must've brought up a half-dozen pieces of character development that goes nowhere.

The movie's about a newly divorced introvert who has friends he video chats with and a YouTube channel just starting out. Caught on one of his videos is an object falling on its own and let the dullest ghost story ever filmed come alive.

Took me a few seconds to realize one of our lead's friends is Michael Shannon. And so, I thought, oh, you'd just do anything like Bruce Willis, Liam Neeson and Nicolas Cage. Difference for me is: I avoid those other three sell-out movies like the plague. This, I just thought was an indie I'd help support only to find poor Michael Shannon in his absolute worst movie.

The movie had promise and the lead, Geno Walker, was probably the best actor in the movie. Sad, his character had potential and it was squandered. Hopefully, this cast/crew will go onto better things and improve. This may just be the rough start they needed to learn from these mistakes.

Hell, even the name was a mistake. It meant...nothing.

Final Thoughts: I'm addicted to YouTube and it's sad when it's slandered like this. They should sue.

Never in my life have I seen a movie fall apart so completely in the last 15 minutes. For the majority of the movie, you'll believe you're watching an attempt at a serious horror film. By the time you reach the end, you'll find you were very, very wrong. Despite almost turning the movie off multiple times due to lack of interest in the slow story, I stuck it out until the end. If the movie had been a horror-comedy, much of the movie's ending could have been forgiven. The bad acting, awful special effects, horrible editing, and insanely stupid plot all come together for a conclusion you won't believe. Seriously, you will not believe what you're actually watching. It's that bad. I can't even begin to imagine what the director was thinking when he decided he could pass this off as anything even close to resembling a decent horror movie.

It starts off your typical haunted house, I've even seen the set up with the blogger picking up weird events before. Which works even though it's not super original. They have video calls to introduce other characters, which also works in the situation to make things a little bit more interesting. I really liked the other super natural bloggers.

But it takes a turn that I didn't expect, and it actually surprised me. The budget isn't high, but I think they do well with what they had. The CGI at the end is terrible, but I don't think it takes away from the enjoyment.

It's not an "amazing film" but I had fun with it, and enjoyed it. The bad guy is a bit "muhahaha evil" which does change the tone, but I liked the surprise thru brought.
