Dead Night (2018)

I don't usually write reviews. But this one is so bad that I feel the need to write one. This movie plays out like in a slow mo. Bad editing. Bad direction. It's too bad that the quality of the production and acting is top notch. Just let down by poor vision of the director. The tv re enactment bits was so amateurish and again loose.. plays like slowmo. And the timeline between the now and the tv documentary is confusing... a re write and a better director would make this watchable. As it is now it's a mis opportunity

I don't know what this film was trying to be - fake documentary, monster in the woods, slasher, psycho.... What I DO know is it failed on all counts. The acting was just too terrible, the characters totally unbelievable (that upbeat father was meant to be dying of cancer!), the editing really bad, the violence too staged....ok the outdoor lighting was great. I really wanted to like this film because the opening scene is gnarly as hell. Pity it all goes to s%$# from there.

How the heck can they make absolute keech like this.No story whatsoever just a load of ideas mixed into a pot and pulled out a hedge backwards.The movie is totally nonsensical as the other reviewers have pointed out, good acting yes and some gore but not a lot. I love how they do all the special effects in these low budget crappers in the darkness so you cant really see the mistakes and poor effects. Could hardly make out what was going on half the time.It was a nightmare from a damaged brain that wrote this and he should seriously seek psychiatric help.Witches who can see the future by impregnating people with the root of a tree or some such then cutting their heads off and burning them , what was the baby at the beginning all about - I doubt even the writers know!Wait for the after credits scene they seem to think it adds something to the movie lol

I watched it last night and was pleasantly surprised with how bloody/gory the film is. the gore is 100% practical and it's fantastic/well done. Barbara Crampton is excellent as an antagonist (that's not a spoiler since it's in the trailer). Brea Grant is very good too and kick ass as the mother trying to save her family. my only complaint about it is the storyline is incredibly stupid and makes little to no sense. it also has an idiotic fake tv show (a Dateline/Crime story type show on the actual family in the film) within the movie which i hated. LOL. but again the blood/gore is so full on that it makes up for it. you have decapitations, arms cut off, branches stabbed into eyes/faces, etc. etc. there's even a full on transformation complete with those special fx facial bladder things (like in THE HOWLING). bad storyline aside this movie is a fun 80's style film that fans of practical FX gore/blood will get a kick out of!
