Night Night

It's over, it's not over. It's over, it's not over. It's not over yet. A simple thriller from 2021. A completely predictable plot and plot. I got really bored watching it. But it is not mind-blowing how it is traveling with high scores. I think it should have been exactly half point. Although the genre of the movie is given as horror, I can't even call it a thriller. There is no element of nudity in the movie. Family can watch. But I do not recommend it. --- spoilers --- There are two siblings whose parents have died. A man is a type, even if it is not at all. Events are going through her head. This is a type that falls in love with everyone at first. Another night like this, while driving in the car, he is texting with one of his girlfriends. Meanwhile, a woman who was deceived in another vehicle takes her two daughters and drives away crying. Then they crash. I'm sure that even saying this will be enough to understand the whole movie. --- spoilers ---

7 on IMDb qualifies as a good watch. It's the opposite. Way too impractical, way too fictional and an ending that was designed to leave people thinking about the movie more has only achieved the thought of idiocy about the story of the movie.

The movie poster for NIGHT NIGHT recalls old school movie posters, say from the age of Alfred Hitchcock. And its plot has more than a few passing Hitchcockian undertones, even if imitated pretty badly. The first strike against the movie is its production values: they look so cheap that it is suprising to see at least a half-way realistic-looking accident-scene. But other than that, the cinematography almost yells "basement budget" in practically every scene. The second strike is that the movie does not contain much tension, as it is possible to figure out what is really happening quite early in the movie. I dismissed it as way too implausible (see third point) and was therefore hoping for a plot twist involving the protagonist's brother, but the entire thread involving him ended up being irrelevant to the story. Thirdly, and most importantly, the plot is so implausible that it not only passes the threshold of incredulity, but leaves it so far behind that it passes the threshold of stupidity. What are the chances of such an event happening? How did the police not figure it out immediately? How does the villain have such apparently superhuman powers in manipulating data remotely and killing a police officer on short notice without getting caught? Why was there no discussion about who was at fault in the accident before it was dumped on the audience at the end in a court scene? And what was up with that nonsensical, stupid epilogue? As of this writing, NIGHT NIGHT is rated 7.3 on IMDb. I have found that, for whatever reason, high IMDb scores seem to be unreliable indicators of quality for recently made indie movies. A couple other low-budget, low-quality affairs with similar problems I have seen are TAKE OUT and a WISEGUY CHRISTMAS, which got 7.6 and 8.0 respectively, as of this writing. I think from now on I will ignore high IMDb scores for indie movies less than 3 years old.

Where to begin. The acting was alright. The problem was the storyline you could tell right off the bat what was gonna happen. So easy to figure out what would have been great was if there was a huge plot twist at the end where you find out she did it all on purpose because she found out she was his mistress.

I don't understand the ending to this movie so please someone help me out here. I don't understand the ending at all .. was It her brother or was it all in her head or did that dude come back to life????

Acting was decent at best. The writing was atrocious. Too many impossibilities and timeline snafu's to even go into. Don't get me started on how much of a dumpster fire the ending was. Did I mention there were tons of impossibilities? Oh and a gazillion things were left unexplained that simply make no sense even to a troglodyte. I wouldn't even classify it as a "B" movie. More like a F movie for abject FAILURE to have one suspend belief. I can never get back those lost minutes of my life.

The poster for Night Night has the beautiful star of the film, Brenna D'Amico, clothed in a barely nothing slip, holding a gun. Clearly the marketers wanted to get the viewers attention, and from my male perspective, it worked. She looks like a young Angelina Jolie "type." But that's not what the film is about. Night Night is a thriller, the type we've seen many times, that's tacked on with an ambiguous ending, made watchable by a few, genuinely creepy moments and the gorgeous D'Amico. 7 out of 10.

Not a bad film at all. Low budget but very entertaining. Some of the performances brought it down a tad, but overall a good attempt and an intriguing story.

I'm not sure if some of these people leaving bad reviews actually watched the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed the story line and it definitely kept me interested. I would definitely recommend this to watch.

Solid indie with good twists and turns. Definitely better than some low budget indie films. Liked the star and I thought the writing and directing was really strong.
