Nightlight (2015)

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

I really enjoyed this movie. I am able to stand the first-person type of filming, and really enjoy a well made one. This story is filmed from the viewpoint of a flashlight. THat was an interesting idea, and lets them do it a little differently than if it was a camera like all the other "found footage" style movies. I thought the storyline was interesting, didn't feel like it was just a copy of other movies. The acting was well done, the suspense was great, and I was glued to the screen throughout. If you don't mind the style of filming, definitely check this out. I watch a TON of horror movies, and this was one of the better ones I've seen that have come out this year, by far. 7.5/10

This is yet another one of those found footage movies and another that his set in the woods well we have a number of kids heading into wards woods to play night light.Well I never herd of that game before, you know story,.The kids are having fun , playing games and for while and soon then later , they all end up getting separated and bad things start happen then.This movie need to be lot clear , what heck was going, I did really no what was actually happens not that it was dark or anything, I was not to sure if it was ghost , wild animal or what ever at times and why ever it was , you don't really get see much of it at all.I did not like how the movie was edited as it felt like spent too much time on just two people and they met they maker and then they decide to show other two people we had not see for about 30 min I assumed they dead way before they reappeared as they were off screen for far to long.Well the main thing , this movie add nothing new, found footage , same old same old.The acting was not that good wither 4 out of10

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.

I'm not one of those, whatchamacallit, lightweights. I am a huge fan of horror films in general, own over 200 horror movies, have seen countless thousands of films, and I have to say Nightlight is by far the scariest move I have ever seen. After watching it twice now (iTunes 24 hour rental system is awesome), I have to say this film defines horror perfection.To be specific, Nightlight does not fall for the average modern day horror clichés. There is no found footage, no research at a library, no complex CGI monsters, no "oh my I can't get any cell phone service!" and everything takes place during one creepy night. Nightlight preys on your fear of the unknown to deliver a true sense of hopelessness.
