I must admit that I initially liked this movie's cover/poster, and it was the reason for why I took a gander at it. Now, I can't claim that I had heard about this horror movie from writers Mel Hagopian and Richard Harlost prior to sitting down to watch the movie, so I didn't have any expectations really, nor did I know what I was in for.
And the movie's synopsis sounded interesting enough, further cementing me sitting down to watch the movie and give it a fair go. And so I did, but I have to say that the movie was not an entertaining one.
Sure, the storyline starts out okay enough, but the narrative quickly comes to a stand still and then just settles into that slump and never gets back on track. And that makes for a rather monotonous and bland viewing experience. And truth be told, then the movie was suffering somewhat from having a low budget feel to it.
I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "The Overnight", but they did good enough jobs with bringing the story and characters to life on the screen. It was just a shame, though, that the actors and actresses didn't really have much to work with in terms of a properly entertaining storyline and script.
If you enjoy horror movies, then I would not really recommend you waste your time, money or effort on "The Overnight".
My rating of directors Bobby Francavillo and Kevin Rhoades' 2022 horror movie "The Overnight" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
