    mNope!

    It actually started good! It did, it did I tell you! Even continued so for a while until it decided to over stretch it, over use it and annoy its audience!

    So, this is a different kind of horror, a blend of found footage with normal view, more of a first person horror to be honest, you always see from one's point of view but I won't take that as something bad. It worked decent enough, I actually think it is an improvement compared to found footage style.

    It created a nice little premise for itself, had some seen before but good used scenes, made that impression that it will be worth while and then falls flat and stays there. So no, overall, at the end of it, you will consider it a complete waste of time. Therefore I will not recommend Nightlight to anyone. Sorry to say so, seemed better at first.

    Cheers!

    Could be better😒

    I will mot tell this is the best movie nor worst. Movie started good, it did well for first 30 mins. When main lead Ben died as first victim of the movie It went of the track. Even continued so for a while until it decided to over stretch it, over use it and annoy its audience!

    Director must have thought that No one would have guess a Main male lead(Ben) would die in first 30 min as first death on the movie. But it gave a negative impression towards the story moving. At that point it was easier final judgement that everyone would die. So no thrilling when you know everyone is going o die on ending without second guess.

    Everything was average

    Well gave this a watchh last night and came away thinking there was nothing wrong in the film itself, in fact everything was okay. The acting, the story, the whole film itself was okay. The film had adult teenagers venturing into a haunted woods. It all takes place at night, the little twist was okay. Overall for the whole film everything was average which is a a few tweaks here and there the film could have been really good. Overall average. Worth a watch if you like found footage films.

    I liked the "twist". Watch it if you are a fan of found footage movies. Avoid, if not.

    A lot of people hate found footage movies but I love them. This one is not the worst one or the best one. Just somewhere in between. Overall I liked it. Whole movie is set in a deep forest in total darkness so it does have an eerie atmosphere from the beginning till the end.

    Plot is nothing special just an excuse for some dumb teens to go into the woods and get in trouble. However, unlike other Found Footage movies, this one has little twist in the end which gives us a whole new reason behind this being filmed as a found footage movie. Acting is okay. There are few jump scares, none of which will make you jump if you watch horror movies often.

    In the end, I did like it but obviously, could have been better. If you love found footage movies, give this one a try.

    Close, but no cigar.

    Nice try guys, I'll always give that A for effort.

    The movie reminded me a lot of the Blair Witch project. It was very retro in it's whole found footage horror genre theme. Maybe because they did a lot with such a small crew of people.

    A group of white kids go into the woods, for what reason never matters, but horny whites under age 24 in the woods, always is a bad idea (should be a law against it.)

    Anyway, the movie did have suspense. Some of the suspenseful moments were great, they were killing me with it.

    The problem here was the scare, and when you're doing horror, that's an important problem.

    From the moment the first real scare went down I knew this movie was in trouble. I did not jump out of my seat once in the movie, not once. There were some eerie moments in the film but nothing really registered. It may have been how sloppy the whole story was put together. I never fully got the purpose of the game they were playing (maybe cause I never played it (maybe because I'm not stupid enough to go into the woods to play a stupid game)

    The girls in the movie were cute. That was a bonus, I found them pleasant to look at, but no one's persona was develop well enough to really care weather they lived or died.

    Also, the movie had too many false scares, and horror moments. It felt like they were trying to add more time to make what could have worked as a short, a feature movie, but all it did was make an hour and a half feel like twice as long.

    Once again, A for effort but will not recommend watching.
