Night Explorers: The Asylum

My boyfriend thought we should watch this film on date night, and I really enjoyed it. It kicks off with the crew exploring a haunted mansion in a found footage kind of way but it switches to "Normal film" in quite a clever way. Honestly it reminded me of older horror films.

The film is about two groups of youtubers who visit an asylum that is about to be knocked down, I know, right! No spoilers but its not what you think. Although the characters were a bit thin I did feel sorry for Danny! The twist and the action in the final part of the film blew me away, it was non stop and kept me wondering what was going to happen.

This movie stinks to high heaven. First of all, the acting is non-existent. These so called "actors" are amateurs at best and if they got paid to be in this movie, the producers were nuts.

Very early on some overweight guy in a bad beard tickles a girl in a blue pajama set. She laughs maniacally. Only one problem: he doesnt even touch her!

And that's the kind of movie this is. HORRIBLE.

The story line is absurdly unoriginal. It's been done a million times before and better.

The directing is poor. Clearly the director is yet another amateur with a hand held camera.

Frankly I was bored out of my mind.

You know your movie is bad when people root for your entire main cast to die. The movie isn't even bad cause its low budget. It's just BAD. The characters are so bad that its laughable at times. Like everytime someone pounds on a door you're going to ask yourself who taught these people to open doors. The script is ROUGH. Like some of the worst dialog i've heard in a horror movie. There's one character who trips, screams and gets knocked out throughout the movie and you will actively root for them to die. I'm not exaggerating. This character is useless. Some of the most non-sensical decisions I've ever seen made by the entire cast of main characters. By the end of the movie you will actively want each of them to die. Avoid at all cost. Watched for free and still wish I could get a refund for the time wasted.

A decent indie horror with a familiar yet intriguing premise as YouTubers venture into an abandoned asylum, blending elements of horror and mystery. Whether you hate influencers and want to watch them run around and scream in fear or just love a horror I suggest you check it out. The film offers a mixed bag of thrills and suspense, with some effectively creepy moments interspersed with predictable scares. The cinematography captures the eerie atmosphere of the asylum, sort of reminded me of the found footage genre. While the scares may not rely on big-budget effects, they're crafted with ingenuity, adding an authentic charm to the experience. Overall Night Explorers manages to deliver an entertaining experience, offering enough suspense and intrigue to keep audiences engaged until the end.

Upon reading and considering the review by andrew9180, I must admit I may have been overly critical of this one, so I updated my rating and review accordingly.

The story is desperately unoriginal and tedious, the performances are dreadful, the characters are obnoxious, the dialogue feels unnatural and awkward, and the ending is predictable as hell.

The movie lacks suspense and fails to offer anything new. Overall, with its overused plot, terrible acting, obnoxious characters, lack of suspense, predictable ending, awkward dialogues, and poor directing, This is a prime example of a failed production.
