Absolutely amazing
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

View MoreI guess someone has been watching The Blair Witch Project before making this movie. I was already not a fan of that one, and I'm for sure not a fan of this one. First of all the way of shooting this movie is just annoying to watch. I don't think there are much fans of this way of shooting movies so I don't get why you would continue making such movies. And a good horror movie needs at least a bit of gory details or some scary characters but in Nightlight it's mostly about suggestion. There's nothing wrong with that if the movie would be good but that's the problem, it isn't good. The power of suggestion only works when you have a good story and a good soundtrack. Here the acting is below average, sometimes even annoying. But if you like people running through the woods at night chased by something then you might like it. I didn't and that will never change.
View MoreThe Three Acts:The initial tableaux: There is a short do it yourself video of Ethan, a depressed male teen, discussing his failed suicide attempt, plus his attachment to Robin. We jump to five teens (Robin; Nia, Amelia, Chris, and Ben) starting a flashlight gaming night in the Covington Woods. The woods has a reputation as a place where teens commit suicide, and where ghosts reside. Plus, there is a scary church located within it.Delineation of conflicts: Robin has a job as a service person at an ice cream parlor. Nia and Amelia look down on employment. Robin is the newbie in the group, and the rest plan to haze her. Something in the woods does not like any of them. The plans for hazing seem to get replaced by other plans. Robin would like to live through the night and go home with her dog, but the wood seems opposed.Resolution: Elimination derby.
View MoreBefore my friend Gary and I watched Nightlight, we decided to go and get something to eat from the Kebab Shack. I didn't have any money on me, so I went onto the Hungry house app and decided to place my order while I was in the takeaway, to save me going to the ATM. Gary told me that he would just buy mine and his at the same time. Our total order came to £11.50 but Gary only had a tenner on him. The lad Alex that works at the Kebab Shack told us that a tenner will do, and he game me my large Kebab and Gary's Chicken Kebab hoagie with load of extra donner meat on it.He's some boy that Alex. Does a brilliant Kebab and he absolutely piles the donner meat onto your order. The movie was terrible, but I'm still giving it a 10 because that kebab was amazing and we got it for less than what it was worth. Cheers Alex!!
View MoreI'm all for "found video" type movies, but this was pretty bad. Basically 60 minutes of flashlights falling to the ground, dropping video cameras, lights flashing on trees. 15 minutes of screaming names over and over. 10 minutes of people and 5 minutes of suspense. You won't want to look away because you are afraid you may miss something good, but feel free to look away, leave the room, wash the car or plan a vacation. You won't miss anything. I stated spoiler alert due to my comment of the 'reveal' of the flashlights role in the movie. If there was character development instead of just dropping a batch of typical teenagers in the woods at night, then this may have worked. Any move that spends more than 30 min filming at night should be avoided totally, any movie that thinks attractive teenagers in the woods alone at night will draw a following, also to be avoided
