A Night to Remember

I know one of the actresses in this movie, so it's with a heavy heart I must say that despite every good effort she put in, it wasn't enough to salvage the rest of the production. The film is shot as a found-footage genre piece. I don't believe the crew understood what all is needed to make a film look and feel like it was shot in that style. Additionally, the storyline is too brief and unnecessarily padded out in the beginning. The sequence featuring a hide-and-seek game is almost unwatchable. (It's ten minutes of the director yelling into a dark woods with only a small flashlight illuminating trees. The cast is large but underdeveloped. Most of the hearsay conversations are either badly lit or poorly recorded . . . or both. The script should have seen a revision or two before shooting began.
