One Winter Night

The film's actors are stilted, nearly always rigid with poor dialogue and poor presence. The director places them in repetitious positions for his shots and simply bores the loving be.... out of the viewer. It's almost like one of those religious instructional films, trying to be cool and never quite achieving coolness. Poor film all around.

I'ma ginger and the amount of gingers I saw made me feel safe. This movie makes me feel safe. It's a safe space for me and my kind.makes me feel very safe like very safe.

Well, there's two hours of my life that I will never get back. The movie had the potential for a good plot, but fell very very short. First of all, it was much too long of a movie for what it was. It's like they couldn't figure out how to end it, so they just kept it going. I understand that they didn't have a large budget to work with in order to have some good actors/actresses, but the acting was really bad. The acting was flat and emotionless in a movie where the characters should have been showing tons of emotion. Overall, the characters did a really bad job of selling the story. It's movies like this that make me wary of watching movies with no big name actors, directors, producers, etc....

Why was this ever made ? Just ridiculously dumb........

This was another Amazon Prime offering that got recommended to me. It was a good low budget offering made in rural NJ or PA. It had a unique angle of making the family in question Orthodox Jews. It had a fairly good core cast of the mother, two daughters, a local friend of the kids and some co-worker friend. Some of the lesser roles were done by actors who barely did more than remember their lines. While it had a monster of sorts, a moloch, skin walker or golem, I'm not sure, it was low budget but done fairly well like the rest of the effects. For a low budget horror film, it had a good plot and a passable bunch of actors. It also had no more than a little blood and violence, so gore freaks will be turned off. It definitely didn't rely on special effects and jump shots. I think the director/writer Ryan Callaway will progress and do better movies.
