As Night Comes Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Donnie Cianciotto Awful writing, bad acting, and lousy directing makes this one of the worst movies I've ever seen...and I've seen a lot. "Look at me, look at me, I watched Clockwork Orange once and now I think I'm Kubrick!" is what this movie seems to say. You're not Kubrick, bro. This movie doesn't come close. It seems to have been written by a group of 12 year olds who never actually experienced adolescence who hero worship those kids who shot up Columbine. The dialogue is awful, the "roof moment" is some of the dumbest, self important baloney I've ever heard, and the kid who plays Ricky is about as believable as a talking rat. Watch this movie if you'd like to see a bunch of people in black clothing walking down the street very slowly while the camera shoots their feet because it's "soooo artistic!" Blech.
theutakehome The folks who gave this movie a great review have watched a different movie. Firstly, the main brain dead character Sean follows these group of Neanderthals around the entire movie. Only discovering at strategic points that they are nothing but a pack of sick morons. Yet, he still sticks with the pack through all their juvenile deeds the entire time. I'm happy I didn't watch to the end as my tolerance level for stupidity, weak story lines and bad acting is just too low when it comes to my movies. Watching paint dry would have provided more entertainment. I have now resorted to going on other forums for reviews. I can no longer depend or put any trust in IMDb's reviews. This waste of human resources should have been called 'As the zombies come'. Mainly because there was not 1 independent mind in the bunch.
djdaggoth This is by far the worst movie I have seen out of 2014. I read some great reviews but I have a feeling they might have either known people in this production or saw the wrong movie. nothing makes sense about this plot. You have your typical "tough guy", who is actually a scrawny weirdo with bleach blond hair and a severely under-developed character. The main character has absolutely no individuality at all(which is the whole plot). The ending is terrible, so if you're like me and can't start a movie without finishing it...don't bother, it doesn't get better.Spoilers:Ricky and the gang are on top of a building screaming at group of people including the police who are after them. They escape down a fire escape after giving a speech about how different they are. Why did the group of 5+ policemen all go up the stairs on the inside instead of surrounding the building or even covering the fire escape?The group of idiots goes to watch a movie and get kicked out, only to drop a firework in a popcorn machine while being escorted out of the theater. My only problem with this is that the police are immediately on their heels over this. Everyone knows who did it. The next day they're at school like nothing happened. Everyone knows that every kid involved would be pulled into the police station from school. Somehow these kids keep messing up over and over without any repercussions and that seems to be the entire movie.There's a giant underground bar/rave going on 24/7 in a shack hidden away in what looks like a bad part of downtown. Of course this underground place is called "underground" (so original). In this place kids do drugs all day and rave while drinking underage. The owner of the place says that the cops called wanting to know if the group of kids who set off the cherry bomb in the movie theater "hang around here". So the police know about this giant underground place that kids do drugs all day long and drink...that makes sense. So, why is it that the police act so surprised to discover this place after being "tipped off"? Also, to top it off, they make it appear as if Ricky is dealing drugs out of the place. He gives a wad of money to the owner of the bar/rave and the guy counts it and tells Ricky he's short. He responds that he took his friends to a movie. The guy is angry but still gives him more drugs to sell even though he's short. Also, who deals drugs in paper bags? What is even being sold? He only owed him $200 for a giant paper bag. Are they selling dirt weed out of brown paper sacks? The only drug you ever see anyone doing is coke, which I assure you isn't sold in folded up brown sacks.I could go on for hours about this terrible movie, but I won't.
steven-roy-902-191757 Disturbing, uncomfortable, and uplifting all at the same time.There is no "protagonist" anywhere among this great young cast that features Luke Baines as the deeply dysfunctional leader of a group dubbed "The Misfits" and Myko Olivier as the Misfits' apparent "odd-man out." As the Misfits pre-Halloween rampage escalates from petty crime through the gamut of assault, battery, arson and murder Olivier's Sean Holloway provides a reluctant counterpoint of conscience to Baines' Ricky Gladstone, who grows more and more fond of the havoc as the plot unfolds. We eventually see them both as different sides of the same very tarnished coin - one "redeemable," the other irretrievably lost in the mire. In the end, we're not quite sure which is which.The lighting and camera work for this piece give the impression you are viewing a live Hieronymus Bosch painting; simultaneously fascinating, scary, beautiful, repellent, and symbolic. Whether deliberately our not, the many odd points of view, and the disjointed compelling images put one in mind of Kubrick (Clockwork Orange) and some of the disorienting images in Hitchcock's films.The production values on the film are awesome! It looks more like a 20 million dollar film than a film made for what I know it was made for.I saw this movie in a distributor screening. Here's hoping someone picks this up so that others can enjoy it too. The last time I had a similar feeling about a pre-release showing was a few years ago… the film was Gods and Monsters. I left that one thinking "too bad it doesn't have distribution and we are the only audience that will see it" too. Hope Mischief Night does just as well!
