kapelusznik18 ***SPOILERS***It took some two years after it was put in the can before this turkey was served via direct video on an unsuspecting public who are for the most part totally confused by it's message about the horrors of Covington Forest that its telling them. That has to do with a group of know it all but known nothing at all teens who plan to spend the night there and end getting swallowed up by it.Filmed in almost total darkness and with a confusing POV editing you get lost, like the teens, as soon as it starts with the teens freaking out for what seems like no reason at all but by not having the proper lighting,the movie-makers way of saving on the electric bill, to see their way out of the mess they find themselves in. One of the girls Nia, Chole Bridges, gets so scared of nothing really in particular that she turns into a mindless zombie for the entire movie just staring into space and not saying a single word. The leader of the group Robin, Shelby Young, is the only one that seems to be conscious of whats going on and for that is the one who ends up getting the business from whoever is pulling the strings behind the scenes.*****SPOILERS***** Incredible long for a short 85 minute movie it takes a lifetime for the sun to finally rise in Covington Forest for it to finally come to an end. Your not at all curtain who of the some half dozen teens survived and by then you just didn't really care. Like the saying goes they made their bed and ended up sleeping in it which was infested with a colony of bed bugs. As for who or whatever was haunting them it or he seems to have been up conjured by the frighten teens in trying to make their stay in the forest exciting but ended up getting the best of them in the end. About the only one who did survive and in tact was Karmer the teens pet dog who was far too intelligent and able to understand that the whole things, it their stay in the forest was a sick joke on the teens part and checked out, to the sane world, before the film was over.
Ian Rupert 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
autumnx this movie definitely wasn't as good as I thought it'd be... But it wasn't terrible. I thought the idea for the movie was really neat, and it was very jumpy at a lot of parts. It didn't scare me like I wanted it to though. It was also kind of hard to follow, it jumped around a lot. But all in all. It was an okay movie.the way it was shot was annoying to me. the actors did pretty well though. cool idea, but definitely could've been betterThe beginning was the best part. I'd say it's worth watching :)Just don't go in thinking you're gonna be real scared
dcarsonhagy It's apparent that Hollywood has run out of ideas and I've run out of patience. "Nightlight" is ANOTHER movie in the same genre as Blair Witch, Paranormal Activity (ad nauseum), and just about anything else in this same vein. It's TIRED people; stop it already.I am not even going to try and explain the premise of this movie. It is so hackneyed, repetitive, been-there-done-that, I'm not going to waste my time or yours. As is the case of most of these movies, the script (for lack of a better word) falls apart, you can guess the ending 20 minutes into the movie, there is no cohesiveness, well...why go on?The movie is rated "R" for language, violence, and overall ridiculousness. A big NO from me.
