Reviews
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
jcalicdan3 This movie was a waste of time. Acting horrible, fighting scenes were fake and looked fake, actors were over dramatic and the scenes were just out of place. It was a waste of time and I will definitely not be recommending this to anyone even my worst enemy. This movie was portrayed to be scary and wasn't. The camera setting wasn't interesting it set right to make it interesting and for the lighting it was obvious that the killers would have seen it but it was just awful. The people who were in the movie were just over actors who have gotten recognized. Some of the scenes were so fake. For example the female that feel down the stairs. She fell in a certain way where she definitely should not have died but she did. I mean how did she die with falling like that?? Also with the other deaths, it just made no sense and I'm done scenes you can see the feet of the people that were recording it. Just horrible!!
morrigan1982 An important reason for me, to get the movie and watch it was Tony Todd. He is always so magnificent and when he is in a movie even in a small part, you always talk about his role. I really love some actors like him, Robert England etc and I really want to see them again, having an appearance in a movie that is more than a few minutes. So back to this movie: a film crew goes to a haunted house for their internet show. The caretaker (Tony Todd) warns them about the house and that the doors during the night will be locked. The film team doesn't listen and they want to stay in the house during the night. Alone… in the dark... In the night … no one can hear them… Lucky for us, the footage was retrieve and so we can watch what happened to them. I am really tired of the 'found footage' type of movies. When it was done for the first time you had fun watching something completely different. Now so many movies are done like this. Some are good like Rec (2007), but most of them
Flow Dead of the nite! Well the audience sure was. Boring. Weak. Unoriginal.I get it, people wanna make horror, they wanna show what they can do with a micro-budget, so founds will gather and they can make something even bigger. Well, we all love the underdogs, but as said, they rarely manage to do something great. And this is not the case here: "Dead of the nite" is one boring movie, that looks more like an episode from a very cheap and cheesy "twilight zone" series to be honest. By the end of it, you will be quite disappointed, and angry cause you didn't look for anything better than this. Therefore,I'm here to give one precious advice: look elsewhere!A movie with quite a similar plot is "Evidence", and although some of its comments are just mean, hey, keep in mind the fact that is a B horror movie with a grade of over 5 on IMDb. Am telling you, horrors rarely get good grades here. So go in that direction, you'll thank me later.Cheers!
Reaper-of-Souls I must say I had been looking forward to watching this for quite some time, and it wasn't just because of Tony Todd (CANDYMAN) having a somewhat sufficient role in it. No. I was intrigued by the plot. A found footage film about the paranormal with a slasher element added in for good measure. Take that and surround it all with an ongoing detective investigation and you have DEAD OF THE NITE.I really wanted to like this film, and I tried, but it just couldn't deliver. The acting was nothing spectacular, but better than one would expect coming from a film with a $20k budget. The kills were a major let down, very unimpressive and practically bloodless. I really had a big problem with the filming/editing. As we are watching the found footage from multiple cameras, it is edited to look like a normal film instead of what actual found footage would look like. It was also quite predictable. Several things were apparent before they happened. I knew the "twist" ending long before it was revealed.Needless to say (but I'll say it anyway), I was very disappointed. DEAD OF THE NITE had the potential to be a really decent film, but ultimately it failed. Not even the presence of the great Tony Todd could save it. What a shame.
