Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
tmo627 It's not often lately that i sit through an entire Movie at home from start to finish, but it was easy and enjoyable to do while watching As Night Comes! I thought the story was well told and enjoyed the use of flashbacks so that I did not know what had happened until it was revealed to me. I thought the talent did a good job, you could feel and imagine their angst, vulnerability and emotion. I appreciated how the Director and DP shot the film with what I imagine was probably a limited budget. I have already recommended this movie to others and will continue to do so. If you are looking for a coming of age film where the characters deal with real consequences to their actions then As Night Comes is the right movie for you!
jvdeforte-226-346741 Important movies like this do not come along very often anymore. Unlike a lot of other movies that rely on a simple plot mixed with sex and violence, this movie is character driven and successfully relies on its storytelling. It is one of the few movies out there that directly and realistically faces a very serious issue in society today. ALL parents, teachers, principals and guidance counselors need to watch this movie and directly discuss what is happening in out society today. A must see, it is a conversation our society need to be having! Well paced a intelligently crafted to give you dynamics that come from the characters emotions keeps the story moving. Few movies today discuss real issues that are relevant to what we need to be discussing as a society.
javs1 I've just seen this movie and the only thing i can say is please please please those people who wrote rave reviews about the film on this page stop doing things like that. You are bringing IMDb reputation to it's knees, and whatever reason you have to write those reviews is clearly wrong. The film is simply awful!!!! you know it, i know it. The acting is bad, the situations unrealistic to say the least, the direction amateurish with a guy wearing two different tops on the same scene from one second to the next. Our main character and hero of the film spends the majority of it acting like a retard when the easiest thing would be to just go home. so there you go guys save yourselves 1 hour and 45 minutes of pain and watch "a clockwork orange" an authentic masterpiece.
steven-roy-902-191757 Disturbing, uncomfortable, and uplifting all at the same time.There is no "protagonist" anywhere among this great young cast that features Luke Baines as the deeply dysfunctional leader of a group dubbed "The Misfits" and Myko Olivier as the Misfits' apparent "odd-man out." As the Misfits pre-Halloween rampage escalates from petty crime through the gamut of assault, battery, arson and murder Olivier's Sean Holloway provides a reluctant counterpoint of conscience to Baines' Ricky Gladstone, who grows more and more fond of the havoc as the plot unfolds. We eventually see them both as different sides of the same very tarnished coin - one "redeemable," the other irretrievably lost in the mire. In the end, we're not quite sure which is which.The lighting and camera work for this piece give the impression you are viewing a live Hieronymus Bosch painting; simultaneously fascinating, scary, beautiful, repellent, and symbolic. Whether deliberately our not, the many odd points of view, and the disjointed compelling images put one in mind of Kubrick (Clockwork Orange) and some of the disorienting images in Hitchcock's films.The production values on the film are awesome! It looks more like a 20 million dollar film than a film made for what I know it was made for.I saw this movie in a distributor screening. Here's hoping someone picks this up so that others can enjoy it too. The last time I had a similar feeling about a pre-release showing was a few years ago… the film was Gods and Monsters. I left that one thinking "too bad it doesn't have distribution and we are the only audience that will see it" too. Hope Mischief Night does just as well!
