Everwinter Night

I aim to save you some time here. Don't watch this movie. It is the sort of story where you think that you will stick with as something is bound to happen in the next five minutes. I am here to tell you that absolutely nothing happens for the first 90 minutes. I'm serious, there is just idle chat and people acting pretty stupid. Really, that is it, just nothing interesting at all.

The movie desperately tries to up the ante in the last 20 minutes but fails miserably as it is more like a comedy than a horror. Oh and there is some terrible overacting in the finale too. It was also hilarious that when the 'Monster' finally appeared the lights suddenly went out and starting flickering to basically hide the dodgy effects. This has a mark on here of 6.7 and this is a fix, trust me as 'Everwinter Night' is crap.

"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.

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.

The 10/10 star reviews must have come from people associated with the film itself. Calling this movie a "Classic" or anything else positive is garbage. I couldn't even finish it. Frankly, I'm not even sure what the hell this movie is about and I watched 3/4 of it! Definitely NOT a horror movie. The writing is terrible which contributed to the confusion about what exactly the movie was about. The acting was pretty bad. Only the main actress had a bit of talent. So I hope you will do yourself a favor and skip this one. I wish I could get my time back. I guess I know now why a 2023 movie went straight to Tubi streaming?

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.
