    Everything was average

    Well gave this a watchh last night and came away thinking there was nothing wrong in the film itself, in fact everything was okay. The acting, the story, the whole film itself was okay. The film had adult teenagers venturing into a haunted woods. It all takes place at night, the little twist was okay. Overall for the whole film everything was average which is a a few tweaks here and there the film could have been really good. Overall average. Worth a watch if you like found footage films.

    Could have been better.....

    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.

    it doesn't deserve the hate

    I honestly love shitty horror movies! This movie was not as bad as the reviews suggest. I'm not saying it's amazing, I'm not saying its bad, its a decent horror movie with a decent cast.

    Jumpy but not scary

    this movie definitely wasn't as good as I thought it'd be... But it wasn't terrible. I thought the idea for the movie was really neat, and it was very jumpy at a lot of parts.

    It didn't scare me like I wanted it to though. It was also kind of hard to follow, it jumped around a lot. But all in all. It was an okay movie.

    the way it was shot was annoying to me. the actors did pretty well though. cool idea, but definitely could've been better

    The beginning was the best part. I'd say it's worth watching :)

    Just don't go in thinking you're gonna be real scared

    Close, but no cigar.

    Nice try guys, I'll always give that A for effort.

    The movie reminded me a lot of the Blair Witch project. It was very retro in it's whole found footage horror genre theme. Maybe because they did a lot with such a small crew of people.

    A group of white kids go into the woods, for what reason never matters, but horny whites under age 24 in the woods, always is a bad idea (should be a law against it.)

    Anyway, the movie did have suspense. Some of the suspenseful moments were great, they were killing me with it.

    The problem here was the scare, and when you're doing horror, that's an important problem.

    From the moment the first real scare went down I knew this movie was in trouble. I did not jump out of my seat once in the movie, not once. There were some eerie moments in the film but nothing really registered. It may have been how sloppy the whole story was put together. I never fully got the purpose of the game they were playing (maybe cause I never played it (maybe because I'm not stupid enough to go into the woods to play a stupid game)

    The girls in the movie were cute. That was a bonus, I found them pleasant to look at, but no one's persona was develop well enough to really care weather they lived or died.

    Also, the movie had too many false scares, and horror moments. It felt like they were trying to add more time to make what could have worked as a short, a feature movie, but all it did was make an hour and a half feel like twice as long.

    Once again, A for effort but will not recommend watching.
