    mNope!

    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!

    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.

    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

    "Sleepy Time Tree"

    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.

    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.
