I was fortunate to get access from the UK to this film. It is quirky and romantic but also dark and eventually bloody!! Really refreshing new film that I have shared with friends with similar resulting pleasure. A little likeness to the excellent Breaking Bad with it's villians and twists. Go see it!!
Its so refreshing to see a non typical Hollywood move, depicting the darker side of Tinseltown and some excellent acting in a Indy film more like the style of early Hitchcock. This is Director Michael Chrisoulakis's first full length film and I am betting that we will be seeing a lot more of him. Peter Bogdonovich's voice as the hypnotherapist shrink is intoxicating, Lin Shaye was perfectly cast and so believable she is a great actess, the Lead Arielle Brachfeld, who is Priscilla is outstanding, but the one actor that I will never forget when I think about Los Angels Overnight is JamieLee Ackerman who was Else Sharpless. She is the outrageously over the top casting director. When I think the film I hear the click click click click sound of her high heels clicking across the huge sound stage, to the other side, finally getting to the actors auditioning. Else is dressed in way overly stylish outfits and hairdos all designed to intimidate the poor actors that she confronts, talking above them in riddles and treating them to below human lows. She was the best standout to me. I thought the music, drone shots were great and added to the suspense and emotion. The Los Angles shoot locations were not your typical glamorous ones but the gritty side, was way more interesting and believable. This movie will go down as a cult classic Indy. Its a MUST SEE.
The guy who directed this movie worked most recently in the CASTING DEPARTMENT for Hell's Kitchen. You did not mis-read. I said Casting Department.
Just gos to show you that Hollywood is truly Hollyweird.
The movie is pretentious and I think Bogdonovich is wearing a very fake stick on mustache. I only continued watching this movie to see the externals of L.A. The acting sucks.
The writing is atrocious. The basic concept is not horrible, but the writer is a bad writer and the director should never get behind a camera again. I have a feeling (pure conjecture) that Bogdonovich is teaching a film course and these clowns were in his class qnd somehow convinced him to be in the movie. Once he was attached to it, it would have been easy to get the funding.
BTW the blood used in this movie looks like red paint.
It's a very hard movie to watch because it's so bad.

This movie gets better and better as it progresses. The ending is magnificent. If you like low-budget, neo-noirs, as much as I do give this a watch. The director, Michael Chrisoulakis is not afraid to allow the story to progress without superfluous dialogue. There a a couple of times he respects the audience enough to have no dialogue and have the visuals do the story telling. Great way to spend roughly and hour and a half.
We very much enjoyed the movie, excellent feel to it. Gritty, true to life and quite spellbinding. Photography excellent.

- TriviaStreet scenes and special points in Los Angeles played a major role in the film, but with a limited budget and not always the opportunity or time to apply for permission to film at a rare corner, the team applied so-called guerrilla filmmaking to pimp the images and scenes just right.
