Night Explorers: The Asylum

There was one positive thing about Night Explorers: the location. Shot at Revesby Abbey, it features cool architecture and creepy corridors.

The story, the acting were all horrible: no believable characters, no believable choices. I spent a lot of time saying, Come on.

For example, the Ghost Hunter-types are actually receiving messages from their Spirit Box and they're celebrating. The messages are things like "Get Out" and "There is evil here." So, if they think this is real, wouldn't they heed the warning or, at the very least, be concerned?

Beware of any film with an extended party scene. Toward the beginning, the "party" lasts at least 5 minutes, just enough to pad the running time to full-length. It adds nothing of value. The characters are set to film an extremely important investigation the next day, yet they get wasted the night before?

Time has no meaning. The characters are two hours away from the site. Repeatedly, they say, We'll leave first thing in the morning. They arrive at dusk.

This was a complete waste of time. Aside from the Abbey, there's nothing redeeming. I appreciate the attempt to explain the "paranormal" activity but... none of it worked for me.

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.

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.

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.

I was just going leave a rating on this film and not a comment but as there are only three comments on here and the one from Nocturnal Mammal was just downright nasty and must be reviewing the wrong film. I thought "Why not?" This is not a found footage film as is asserted over and over by Nocturnal. It's not the best film I've seen by far but for a low budget effort, it's not bad, so I judge it on that. The cinematography is good overall, the acting is more than passable. The score could have been more coherent, it's not bad but each scene feels like it is scored separately or stock music was used, with no overarching theme (I work in sound mixing). The film starts slow but we are rewarded with a full on blood and guts ending that does not seem to let up. There seems to be practical effects used here and they are pretty good. I work in the industry and know how hard it is to complete a feature film and I think my maternal instincts came out when I read the one-star review and felt sorry for the filmmakers, as this seems to be a small independent movie with not a lot of support. I think we should encourage filmmakers and if you have genuine gripe, give examples of where they went wrong rather than just stating "abysmal acting, unlikable characters" and such. I am sure the filmmakers will appreciate it.
