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

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.

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.
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.

This movie had potential and parts of it were scary but it was mostly just a bunch of idiot kids running around. Unfortunately, movies like this require characters to talk to themselves because they are alone but it gets annoying fast. This film lacked explanations and was mostly just a bunch of jump scares stitched together. Watch if you want to roll your eyes a lot. Why do these movies always have some dumb girl finding a basement/tunnel/cave/attic/etc. that is scarier than the rest of her surroundings yet that's where she instinctively goes? In this movie one of them says "I'm not going in there" while she is actually going in there...WTF?!?
It's kinda fun being so close to Halloween for a fright binge but there are far more superior examples in this overplayed genre. 5 stars from me.
