Thieves in the Night

Normally not my type of thing at all.. would never watch it by choice and would be near certain to hate this sort of thing, alas my partner wanted to watch it - so here I am. It's worth a watch.. I would never choose this sort of film by choice, and in honesty I wouldn't watch again.. but it did surprise me, in that I wanted to finish it.. given that it isn't my sort of thing at all as a preference, there's definitely something there. It's clearly low budget, but when you factor this in, some of the acting im great in moments(without the backing of major special FX etc). Some of it isn't great, but there are moments that are. If you like cult English films then you would probably love it. I would normally give say this sort of thing should be a 5/10, but as it was unique and kept me watching, it's fair to score higher. Give it a go.. don't expect Hollywood and then score it based on this.. this is the only reason that I could imagine there would be any harsh critics on it.

A great self-contained thriller!

I am a big fan of dark humour and it was well done and the characters were very relatable, my favourite being Cody played by Tim Hudson.

At turns funny and at others gruesome the producers and actors didn't a great job. At times it felt like you were there too, the tense atmosphere was projected brilliantly - there is also a sense of menace that pervades the film and adds to the tension.

I've not seen anything by the director/actors combo but will be looking out for them going forward - hopefully it's the first of many.

Something to look keep an eye on for the future.

I watched this film not expecting much being what I could only describe as a lower budget and not exactly mainstream movie but I figured I would give it a chance anyway and although it clearly wasn't a Hollywood blockbuster it was pleasantly surprising in that it felt like a bit of cult film. Very funny in parts and the actors did a fantastic job of portraying each individuals character's personality through out the duration of the entire film. At no point did it seem as though the cast were inexperienced at what they do. Tremendous props to everyone involved and I can only see these guys moving onto much bigger things.

Thieves in the Night delivers a solid experience, driven by its palpable tension and strong performances. The film consistently keeps viewers on edge, with suspense that builds gradually and effectively. The atmosphere is charged, making every scene feel intense and engaging. The plot has an interesting twist that keeps you guessing where it will head to next...

A standout is Tim Cullingworth-Hudson, whose portrayal adds a layer of depth to the film. His performance is both nuanced and compelling, grounding the narrative with a believable and human touch. It is a well-crafted thriller that I enjoyed watching.

That was fun! It has some hilarious dialogue and great characters. And it's not always politically correct.

Despite being funny, there is a sense of dread throughout the film, because we know that something will happen, at some point. But when and how to situation escalates, we don't. And yes, If just no one would have tried anything stupid, then maybe everyone would have survived.

There are some memorable performances in it. I liked the bad guys and the family members alike.

The twist was a nice turn. Normally I'm not a fan of home invasion films, but I've never seen one this funny and engaging.

I also noticed some details on a second watch. And it changed my perspective on some characters the second time.

Will put this on my yearly Christmas watch list.
