Beyond the Night

This is a mystery thriller with supernatural tones. I think it can appeal to both audiences, those who enjoy a straightforward missing person case as well as those who gravitate toward paranormal subject matter.

Beautiful setting and filming location in Sullivan County, NY. Characters were decent, acting could have been improved. Zane Holtz was a little stale at times.

Overall, I think it is worth one viewing, especially for those who enjoy this genre, however it feels like a single viewing type of film.

U. S. Marine Ray Marrow (Zane Holtz) returns home after the death of his wife in a car accident. His young son Lawrence has a facial disfigurement. He brings them back to their home town to bury his wife. His sister Caroline Marrow (Tammy Blanchard) is the local sheriff. For some reason, Lawrence seems to have knowledge of a local missing cold case.

I like the premise which holds some potential. The acting is fine for the most part. Mostly, the movie never gets to the level of my expectations. I do like the beginning and as it reveals the premise. Maybe I was hoping to be more invested in an investigation.

Is watchable and fills time. Little better than average storyline and acting

Although the story is predictable but it's still interesting , give it a shot...You will not be boring , acting is also good and very natural.

Beyond The Night isn't a masterpiece but it's worth a watch as there are tons of worse movies than this one. As for the mystery level I figured it out when the movie wasn't even halfway through, and that's a bit too soon in this genre. The evolution of the story isn't bad but it's not perfect at all. There are some scenes that could have been much better if they would have put a little more effort into it. The story isn't new so you could have a sensation of déjà-vu. The acting was okay, no Oscar winners here, with nobody standing out of the lot, but also nobody acting mediocrely. All in all it's good enough for me to entertain me for awhile.
