Night Night

7 on IMDb qualifies as a good watch. It's the opposite. Way too impractical, way too fictional and an ending that was designed to leave people thinking about the movie more has only achieved the thought of idiocy about the story of the movie.

Where to begin. The acting was alright. The problem was the storyline you could tell right off the bat what was gonna happen. So easy to figure out what would have been great was if there was a huge plot twist at the end where you find out she did it all on purpose because she found out she was his mistress.

From the oddly paced story to the weird character development choices, this was a strange and silly watch. But I do like Brenna D'Amico a lot and I feel like she can shine in a better directed and well written project.

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.
