Night's End

I thought it was a little bit campy, and maybe that's what some of you were missing? It had gusto, and I enjoyed that. A couple of the characters were totally wacky and entertaining.

Haters of this movie will probably tell you to go watch The Conjuring, then give themselves a high-five.

A bigger budget does not always result in a better film, if the heart's not there. I thought this one was just fine, thank you.

Night's End is a clear Covid project about a shut in who communicates with concerned friends via Skype. Our lead is played quite well by Geno Walker. He is a depressed, down on his luck man living by himself trying to start a YouTube channel about being divorced, yard work and more. When spooky happenings occur in his apartment he gets noticed and has to push the envelope.

The film is is fairly slow paced but had me interested enough to know what was happening. Problem is that the script doesn't have anywhere to go other than predictable places you expect. You will call the ending with plenty of time to spare.

The acting outside of our main character in the last 20 minutes of the movie is among the worst I have seen in a long time. There are "scary" parts that got an audible laugh out of me and one character screams like he was auditioning for Trolls 2.

Also the restrained budget this movie clearly has also is a big problem. You kind of know what WON'T happen because it would cost too much money. I also think this is an issue for the performances as it almost feels rushed.

So a weak script , no money and bad performances come together to make one of the worst endings in a horror film this year. This is definitely a skip.

I think if Jennifer Reeder expects to get funding to make another movie she probably should start by taking her name off the credits of this piece of garbage and replace it with "Allen Smithee". It's a complete abomination. Never have I seen acting and writing so amateurish, SFX so poorly executed, a plotline so preposterous and enough cheese to cover the entire moon, all in one movie. It's not even in the "it's so bad that it's good" catagory. It's just bad. Period. And how they got the great Michael Shannon to appear in this mess is anyone's guess. Seriously, there is literally not enough negative adjectives in the English language to convey just how awful this movie is. You have been warned.

Never in my life have I seen a movie fall apart so completely in the last 15 minutes. For the majority of the movie, you'll believe you're watching an attempt at a serious horror film. By the time you reach the end, you'll find you were very, very wrong. Despite almost turning the movie off multiple times due to lack of interest in the slow story, I stuck it out until the end. If the movie had been a horror-comedy, much of the movie's ending could have been forgiven. The bad acting, awful special effects, horrible editing, and insanely stupid plot all come together for a conclusion you won't believe. Seriously, you will not believe what you're actually watching. It's that bad. I can't even begin to imagine what the director was thinking when he decided he could pass this off as anything even close to resembling a decent horror movie.

Some of the worst acting i ever seen it started off so slow so i fast forwarded it and well it didnt get any better. I seen alot worst but this is up there with them.
