The Dead of Night

Not completely awful, but not far away. The camera work is pretty good, and there is some decent acting in the build up. The violence is not over the top, much is seen from a distance, or not seen as it happens out of shot. It is not a gorefest but works quite well. It is the action/suspense scenes that make this movie a turn off. There is no discernable storyline. There is no rhyme nor reason to anyone's action or reaction, whether that be killers or victims. There are scenes that are lifted from other films, such as The Devil's Rejects, and Scary Movie. It all seems very random and haphazard. There is an attempt at a plot twist at the end, that is just another indescriminate and unexplained event. The final outcome is unclear, but I found I did not care enough to be frustrated by this. It was just a relief it was over.

Reminding me the movie The Village, in the same way with always the USA thing in a small town... a good movie to watch once. Good acting helping the viewer enjoying the film.

No plot development, no suspense, yawnnnn!!!! Worse movie seen in a long time. Just a copy cat of other boring stories of mindless killers. I think they saved a lot on using actors with cayote masks, where there was no character development while merely weilding knives and firing guns.

An amazing film. Well worth watching and unbelievable it has such a low score. Great story line, great location, great acting and great soundtrack. On top of that it has the legendary Lance Henriksen. If you're having doubts about watching this just give it a go, it had me hook line and sinker from the word go.
