Alone in the Dead of Night

A young girl injured at home, starts to question her own sanity, after hearing creeping noises in her home. Very dull and kind of a boring film.

There are four roles in this film: the main star, her friend, the ghosts/creeps etc...and that blasted camera man. I so much wanted him to die, with all that zooming in and out, shaking like he's scared to hold the camera, going round in circles, and at some points, upside down.

Anyway, the film. Its in indie film, says so on the credits at the start as well. At first, you get to understand what each character is like, but at times, it goes on and on.

Oh, and word to the wise, don't ever hold the phone that has the music to most of the film, over a bath of water.

I guess the story is okay, switching now and then, so you even get confused as to what is real and not. I stuck with it to the end, and when it finally got there, I was a bit surprised and shocked.

A very claustrophobic slow burn horror film that really gets into your head. I don't want to spoil the ending, but it's terrifying and a fitting end to the film.

Claustrophobic and stays with you long after the credits. It does take a while to get going properly, but the girls are easy on the eye, so you don't mind the wait. Once the film's fully up to speed, it has some really terrifying moments. Certainly worth a look.

Alone in the Dead of Night is about a young woman, Mallory, who is tormented one night by a series of disturbing and horrific occurrences. Mallory must survive the night in her apartment as it is too dangerous for her to leave and she is unable to contact help with a broken cell phone.

There is a lot that goes on in Alone in the Dead of the Night. The film does a good job of blurring the line between what is reality and what might be the tormented visions in Mallory's head. Where the film excels is during certain scares that were very effective and made my skin crawl. There's some very well done effects makeup and there's one moment with a gruesome wound that I can't stop thinking about. I think Alone in the Dead of Night will be a hit with horror fans and particularly those who appreciate the very attractive lead actresses.
