Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Europa Pirate Rarely can I handle shaky Cam Horror Flicks yet NIGHTLIGHT is 1) Well Acted 2)Suspenseful 3)EngagingThe Negetative: NO Happy or even Neutral Ending!I do Not write Spoilers (and am Not going to write one now). Just say, if you want the Premise to be clear and have resolute at the end of your HORROR FILMS... NIGHTLIGHT will NOT provide that for you.It's creepy scary, in an unfamiliar woods with only flashlights. The actors, dialogue, darkened setting, and night sounds provide most of the Chills. Not an Alls Well That Ends Well feel. Pit in stomach sort of film, I am glad I hadn't viewed at night.Cannot say I recommend to anyone that's not a Hardcore Horror Fan. It's not visually "overtly graphic"... though it does contain some blood and gore. It's basically the knowledge that someone has perished, and the sound of that which is the creepy factor. So, watch if you root for "The Bad Guys" or want the unknown "The Things That Go Bump In The Night" to be victorious!
autumnx 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 betterThe beginning was the best part. I'd say it's worth watching :)Just don't go in thinking you're gonna be real scared
David Martin Can you put that movie into the horror category even if there is nothing horrific about it?! I mean, why are these people labeling their movie into genres that are far from being perceived in the final work? The audience wants to see a horror movie, not a fake ghost movie. It is so disappointing, the poster is catchy, the trailer is catchy, but the movie is crappy. How can people sit back and write a screenplay of that ludicrous thing is beyond my comprehension. Watching plant grow is actually funnier than wasting time with this ridiculous movie. Enough is enough, either these people do a good horror movie or we will have to create a whole new genre : "crappy" !
Edgar Allan Pooh . . . (unless you count those portions of Texas covered by the compounds of David Koresh, Warren Jeffs, and all the other religious criminals yet to be burned out by the government). So it should be no surprise that NIGHTLIGHT's doomed quintet of Utah high school students cannot pray their way out of a paper bag (or, in their case, a haunted church and forest). One boy is unable to come up with the First Word of the Lord's Prayer when asked. The girl doing some of the asking prays to the dead leader of her high school's Satanic Suicide Cult, seeking an easy way out of her prom problem. Most of the "action" of NIGHTLIGHT is implied by sound effects and cell phone cameras juggled in virtual darkness. It makes one wonder why they even bothered with cameras at all, when the NIGHTLIGHT people were aiming for the feel of a 1930s-style radio play where the visuals were left up to the listeners' imaginations. The glop foisted off on the screen to the paying customer adds little. If you're Hell-bent on "seeing" NIGHTLIGHT, don't expect to be able to decipher anything on tiny phone, tablet, monitor, or TV screens. Just wait until it comes out on IMAX.
