It's not often lately that i sit through an entire Movie at home from start to finish, but it was easy and enjoyable to do while watching As Night Comes! I thought the story was well told and enjoyed the use of flashbacks so that I did not know what had happened until it was revealed to me. I thought the talent did a good job, you could feel and imagine their angst, vulnerability and emotion. I appreciated how the Director and DP shot the film with what I imagine was probably a limited budget. I have already recommended this movie to others and will continue to do so. If you are looking for a coming of age film where the characters deal with real consequences to their actions then As Night Comes is the right movie for you!
... View MoreI really enjoyed this movie. it's a great example of storytelling that is honest and raw. and I really appreciate the subject matter. It's bold. In addition to bold subject matter, the acting is really great and as intense as the storyline. I felt like there was a lot at stake and it held my attention the whole time, I really appreciate a story that can do that. Richard Zelniker is a very talented director and his film goes a long way into exploring the darker side of teen angst. The direction is great. I'm glad I saw this one!
... View MoreA teen genre film that doesn't disappoint. We all can relate to the jocks, the preppies, and the outcasts, and the sometimes difficult transition period of high school. Newcomer, Sean, the son of two hopeless alcoholics drifts, with a group of outcasts, led by the charismatic creeper, Ricky Gladstone. Sean has his eyes on preppy Sarah, who runs with the jocks. There lies the dilemma. Does Sean clean up his act and go with Sarah, or wreak havoc with Ricky and his band of outcasts on mischief night? Good performances by newcomers, Myko Oliver, who plays Sean, and Luke Baines, who plays Ricky. A nice study of teenage alienation, peer pressure, and the difficult choices many teens ultimately have to make that may determine the direction of their entire lives.
... View MoreThis was literally one of the worst movies I've ever had the displeasure of watching. It was almost as if it was someone's first attempt at making a movie. There's no plot, no beginning, no middle, no end.. just a weird kid who wants to be tough trying to play tough, and wanting to make his mark on the world through ignorance. Save your time and money on this one. There's nothing about the characters, just one kid who supposedly has mental issues but what are they? Don't know, but he's got a bottle of pills he shows everyone he doesn't take. The new kid moved there because of what? Why does the new kid even hang with the weird kid? It's not like he's got transportation or even a quick wit. I'm really not sure what to think about this other than I could have used my time better cutting grass with scissors or catching flies with chop sticks.
