Night Night

The trailer is way better than the movie itself. You are left with so many question to things that make no sense. The acting and the story line is terrible.

Acting was decent at best. The writing was atrocious. Too many impossibilities and timeline snafu's to even go into. Don't get me started on how much of a dumpster fire the ending was. Did I mention there were tons of impossibilities? Oh and a gazillion things were left unexplained that simply make no sense even to a troglodyte. I wouldn't even classify it as a "B" movie. More like a F movie for abject FAILURE to have one suspend belief. I can never get back those lost minutes of my life.

Woman has car accident, suffers amnesia, and then weirdness follows. There aren't any real surprises in this film, and it relies heavily on typical elements and tropes to pull the cookie cutter pieces together. Unfortunately, there isn't much to pull together in the first place. "Surprise" ending is neither a surprise nor much of an ending. Acting is standard without much punch to it. The quality of the film looks like nothing more than a low grade cable movie that would are after midnight. It tries for something greater in a psychological thriller, but it left me with a tinny taste in my mouth, a poor quality artificial substitute. If you want a casual distractor during a rainy afternoon, this works well as that. Otherwise, don't expect much of anything and choose to pass.

I didn't expect a lot from this film since it telegraphs "low budget" from the start, but it's a decent thriller. I'm pretty sure I've seen this plot before, but not entirely sure where. However, it's a good story so I can see how it gets reimagined periodically. There's a little bit of an attempt to mix up the "psychological thriller" formula up at the end. I'm not sure it totally works, but an effort was made. The movie sets out from the familiar car accident/coma combo and from there goes down roads that the thriller fan knows well, but I think if you're a genre fan, you'll find it acceptable viewing. If, however, you don't really get into the thriller conventions, it doesn't rise above them, so it's maybe worth skipping this one.

This was terrible. I gave it a chance because it had a score of 6.2 on this site. However, I took a look at the breakdown of the votes. The people who post to this site regularly gave it an average of 3. The look of this film is that of a low-end made for tv movie--visually bland. The acting does nothing to add to the enjoyment, although I can kind of see some potential in Brenna D'Amico. The story is completely unsatisfying with a cop-out ending. At about 45 minutes in, I was still somewhat interested in seeing where this went, but once the answers came, it fell apart completely. This should never have been made.
