Nightligh is about a group of friends that will play in a haunted forest. The film does not explain exactly what happened to them, there is cool scenes and good effects, but they actors are not so good. The movie could be show more ghosts and give more scares. Sometimes show a creature like a demon, sometimes the movies talk about a spirit of a boy, I don't understand that, was to vague at this point in the history of the movie, and the are a lot of cliché. It's the same thing all time, friends will play stupid jokes in abandoned place that is haunted and the things go upside down after happened a lot of strange noises and strange things, but no one goes home until disaster strikes. This history already tired. They should invent a new kind of haunting , a reason the place is haunted, but they preferred put boys and girls in a forest to be killed one by one. It is good to watch if you have nothing better.
A lot of people hate found footage movies but I love them. This one is not the worst one or the best one. Just somewhere in between. Overall I liked it. Whole movie is set in a deep forest in total darkness so it does have an eerie atmosphere from the beginning till the end.
Plot is nothing special just an excuse for some dumb teens to go into the woods and get in trouble. However, unlike other Found Footage movies, this one has little twist in the end which gives us a whole new reason behind this being filmed as a found footage movie. Acting is okay. There are few jump scares, none of which will make you jump if you watch horror movies often.
In the end, I did like it but obviously, could have been better. If you love found footage movies, give this one a try.

Decent watch, probably won't watch it again, and can only recommend for found footage fans.
This lovely little piece of found footage garbage actually has a somewhat interesting premise, reminding me a lot of Slenderman in the way that the demon stalks and haunts the cast.
While it was a delightful surprise to see Chloe Bridges, the movie suffers from a lot of problems that audiences have with found footage, including its plausibility. They literally throw something over the camera at one point and I thought, "Really, the budget was that bad you couldn't just have the camera turned away?" The actual action of covering the camera, and thus the light made (some) sense, but that the camera was in that position in the first place felt contrived and covering the camera just made me feel like I was going to be ripped off.
Now, it's a game in the dark with shadows everywhere on a budget so the production value is low and it's hard to see most of the time.
There is a lot of good in this too, but ultimately I think it needs a rewrite and reboot without found footage.

I will mot tell this is the best movie nor worst. Movie started good, it did well for first 30 mins. When main lead Ben died as first victim of the movie It went of the track. Even continued so for a while until it decided to over stretch it, over use it and annoy its audience!
Director must have thought that No one would have guess a Main male lead(Ben) would die in first 30 min as first death on the movie. But it gave a negative impression towards the story moving. At that point it was easier final judgement that everyone would die. So no thrilling when you know everyone is going o die on ending without second guess.

It actually started good! It did, it did I tell you! Even continued so for a while until it decided to over stretch it, over use it and annoy its audience!
So, this is a different kind of horror, a blend of found footage with normal view, more of a first person horror to be honest, you always see from one's point of view but I won't take that as something bad. It worked decent enough, I actually think it is an improvement compared to found footage style.
It created a nice little premise for itself, had some seen before but good used scenes, made that impression that it will be worth while and then falls flat and stays there. So no, overall, at the end of it, you will consider it a complete waste of time. Therefore I will not recommend Nightlight to anyone. Sorry to say so, seemed better at first.
Cheers!
