Nero come la notte

2 out of 5 stars.

Poor script and direction. The plot is decent. The film does lack scares and thrills. The acting is horrible. Especially with the main characters best friend who is annoying and cheesy with dialogue. It is one film that is forgettable. Definitely a film worth skipping.

The movie is not as bad as the ratings.

It's ok and worth a one time view.

Usually i'm in line with the IMDB low rating crowd. But I liked this movie. Good acting, decent story, not gory. Fun.

I recommend you see for yourself. With the stuff we rate 1 on here, this is a 10 comparatively.

Another poor effort from The Welcome To Blumhouse series.

The lead is supposed to be, say 16, yet is played by a 28 year old actress. The fact is not helped by at least twice people mentioning she 'got breasts' this summer.

The 'good' vampires was totally ridiculous and went absolutely nowhere, the plotting was all over the place, really poor.

Pedro is a contender for most irritating character of 2021, no one in real life hopefully speaks like that.

Also referring to the main character as Wesley after Wesley Snipes because of the darkness of her skin....not cool.

You want a gourmet hamburger, you go to a gourmet hamburger restaurant, it might cost you $20 or $30. You just want a quick snack instead? Then go to a fast food joint and buy a $2 hamburger. It won't be very good but it will quench your hunger for a short while.

That's how it is with Amazon's Blumhouse movies, like this one, "Black as Night". They are like a cheap hamburger, you'd never tell anyone how great they are but can help you pass the time.

This one is set and filmed in New Orleans, much on the West Bank area known as Algiers and much in the New Orleans Garden District. It is the aftermath of hurricane Katrina and many displaced, homeless are being recruited into Babineaux's zombie corps. It is best enjoyed almost as a spoof of horror movies, there are a number of funny scenes. The acting is fine, especially Keith David as the main vampire. The cinematography is excellent, the movie is not to be taken too seriously.

Most of the very negative reviews here say very silly things, like how old the actress is playing a teenager. Things that have no relevance to the story or the quality of the movie. It isn't a great movie but it isn't a terrible one either. It is entertaining for anyone looking for a lightweight vampire movie. I enjoyed it.
