Everwinter Night

What a build up, some of the best drama I have ever seen. You will be rewinding this I promise you.

A great and diverse selection of single adults here that are enough to carry any horror movie right up to it.

Incredible dialogue, each character must surely have been allowed to write their own lines.

It gets sinister fast and then decides to have fun instead, during which, there are only vague references to trouble and one dramatic sequence.

It all comes out at the end and oh my god what on earth is happening!

I can only say that a serious ending might have cast doubt on some of the greatest fun ever. For a horror fan however, such frivilous safety will cost an otherwise 8+/10 movie a couple of points.

With soo much fun being had one wonders why even make this a horror movie.

As this film opens a couple stop off at a remote New England lodge to ask for directions... they don't come out alive. Thirty years later old friends Maddy and V are going away for a spa holiday together; things don't go to plan as Maddy's college friends, who V didn't know had been invited, show up and say that a group of wealthy young men had invited them all to stay with them for a few days at an exclusive lodge. V isn't pleased and it isn't long before displeasure becomes concern that something is off about their hosts. By the time we learn just how off they are it may be too late.

I thought this was a decent enough, if somewhat overlong, horror film. It opened well in the short prologue before introducing the main characters. V and Maddy are likeable, unlike Maddy's college friends who are irritating from the moment they show up. The premise is solid enough if not the most original and once at the lodge it drags somewhat more than necessary before the gory denouement. The cast is okay; I particularly thought Victoria Mirrer did a good job as V. The effects may have been fairly low budget and confined to the finale but it was nice to see physical effects rather than obvious CGI. Overall I'd say this is far from a must see but it isn't terrible either; worth watching once if you enjoy the genre.

"Everwinter Night" is a brilliant blend of horror and comedy, skillfully crafted by Adam Newman. The film captivates audiences with its unique balance between chilling moments and comedic relief.

This film cleverly invokes traditional horror tropes while infusing humor.

The sharp dialogue and quirky characters invite laughter even in tense situations, enhancing the emotional impact of the narrative.

At its heart, "Everwinter Night" encourages viewers to confront their fears through an unconventional lens. Newman's innovative approach not only entertains but also prompts introspection, making this film a must-watch for fans of the horror-comedy genre.

I was initially intrigued by the movie's cover and it's title. Sure, I had never heard about the movie, but it seemed like a horror movie that might prove interesting enough. And given my love and fascination with all things horror, of course I opted to give the movie a chance.

The storyline in "Everwinter Night" was a massive swing and a miss. There was nothing entertaining enough it as it dragged on with its pointless narrative. And I am not kidding when I am saying that there was nothing worthwhile to sit through as director Adam Newman stumbled about like a bull in a fine porcelain store. It was difficult to sit through this borefest of a movie.

In fact, I endured a staggering 73 minutes of absolute boredom out of a total of its 105 minutes total runtime. By then I was just bored to tears. There literally was no point to the storyline that writers Chris Goodwin and Adam Newman had put together.

I was not familiar with the actors and actresses on the cast list. But I will say that the acting performances were fair enough, just a shame that the actor and actresses had nothing wholesome to work with in terms of script, dialogue, characters or contents.

Do yourself a favor and give "Everwinter Night" a wide berth. It just simply isn't worth the time of day. Some of us suffered through this dumpster fire of a movie so you don't have to; you're quite welcome.

My rating of director Adam Newman's 2023 borefest of a movie titled "Everwinter Night" lands on a one out of ten stars.

Caught this one on Tubi and have to admit that it took a little while to get going but it grew on me. Typically don't watch slower burns but this one was different and the ending is a certified banger. Everybody was believable - really well acted from top to bottom. Cinematography was top notch for something that sounds like it had a smaller budget. Setting was cool. And yeah, it takes a lit bit, but once it rolls into the last act, the blood is flying and it's a hell of a time.

Can't wait to check this one out again to see how all the threads work. Definitely check this one out if you like your horror with a bit of drama. A real indie gem.
