Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

bfan83 NIGHT is a unique take on the vampire genre. It's about a cop named Mike who witnesses a woman get shot in the chest during a robbery and she lives. Before he is able to question her about how she lived, she mysteriously disappears, which leads Mike on an obsessive hunt to find who - and what she is. He soon discovers she is a vampire and she leads a group of other vampires. She soon sires Mike and introduces him to her world. Meanwhile, his best friend and cop partner, Jimi launches his own investigation into what is going on when Mike begins acting strangely and disappears. This soon leads Jimi into a violent quest to save his friend...I'm not entirely sure if this was Mr. Miller's directorial debut. If it is, then he did a bang up job! I found NIGHT to be well worth my time. It's unique take on how to slay the vampires was different and refreshing. Instead of staking them you inflict as much physical damage to their being and burn them. I also found the acting from most of the principal characters to be quite well-done. Every character was believable. The fight scenes were also well-staged for a film of this caliber. It's obvious Mr. Miller hired actors who also had martial arts experience. This was another quality that helped rise the film above others of its type. One other quality that I was happy with was the use of alternative/Gothic music in the soundtrack.The only complaint that I have is the audio was terrible throughout most of the film. I'm not sure if they only used the existing mic on the camera, or if the sound was mixed poorly. A lot of the music was also played too loudly over some of the scenes, including scenes with characters dialogue that may have been important to the plot. Other than that, NIGHT is a perfect example of what a true filmmaker can accomplish on a non-existent budget ($7,000). Kudos to Byron Miller for creating something fresh for the genre! I see great things coming from this man.Anyone who enjoys vampire films, or independent films in general should be pleased with NIGHT.

Daru_Jericho 'Night' is the result of watching too much Buffy and listening to too much Combichrist.The most striking feature of this film is the poor quality of it. The picture is harshly contrasted leaving key characters totally obscured in darkness or eroded away by bright white. The sound is muffled throughout and sounds like you're listening to people talking through the wall in the next room. Naturally, a lot of the dialogue is hard to hear coherently. Many low(er) budget films have overcome this; budget is not an excuse.The plot synopsis is weak yet not totally unoriginal but its execution is embarrassing. I never got the feeling that Jimi actually possessed long-term friendship with Mike and when Mike turned, it seemed random that Jimi would all of a sudden chase after Mike. They should have spent more time showing the viewer an intense bond between the pair rather than one work related bust. Convincing dialogue would have been a good start at this. I could not feel sympathetic towards Jimi because I could not believe his bond with Mike. Some of the characters had no personality whatsoever and were introduced into the storyline so suddenly it crippled the plot. The characters with personalities were impossible to like (poor an unemphatic acting) and impossible to identify with. They were more like pre-programmed robots than humans (or vampires).The interconnected sex scenes seem painstakingly pointless and I question why they were there. They failed to reveal more about the characters or move the plot forward. Jimi's sex scene just seems like an excuse to have him rant at the girl about Mike's disappearance which, again, is a weak non-attempt to contribute towards the storyline. Who most of the other people who were having sex are is not clear to myself; poor lighting is one reason and made-up characters seems to be the other. Other scenes were down-right laughable, such as Mike 'turning' into a vampire with his convulsions on the floor. This was hilarious predominantly because of the awful camera handling which accidentally had Mike out of the frame's centre numerous times. Returning to the plot, it was incoherent and challenging to follow. Unnecessary characters literally appear out of thin air for no commendable reason, as if someone were making the story up on the spot. Perhaps they would work better in a plot that is not so linear or one-dimensional.The fight scenes are in drastic need of work. It is obvious that the actors are not hitting each other and this will make the audience laugh unintentionally. Fight scenes are easier to choreograph if you have intelligent cinematography which obviously Night was lacking in. Industrial music and EBM are enjoyable to listen to in other circumstances but much of the time, it failed to corroborate the scenes they were underscoring here. Why the soundtrack welds itself to electronic music exclusively is beyond me.The only reason Night could be considered worth watching is to mock the script. It would not hurt to have some quirky one-liners. "Damn you"/"Damn yourself" is not funny nor clever. Just plain weak. Too much of the plot was left unexplored and unexplained. There is nothing compelling that drives you forth to finish watching the film. The attempt at enrolling an inclusive cast for a film aimed at alternative markets is ridiculous (why would a 'goth' girl go for Jimi in a club looking like some kind of business guy without a blazer? Surely a fishnet top or leather-clad male would be more her thing, particularly in an alternative club. Embarrassing mistake.) and should be avoided. This film should be used in film schools internationally as a 'How Not To Make A Film' example. Even fans of vampire films would detest this. It's not even close to art. Stay away.

glassasylumpds As a citizen of a free nation I have the constitutional right to speak freely; which is what I had done on Aprill 20,2007. But someone found my words offensive and my post was deleted, and I was censored. So here is a more generic, sanitized, more "PC" revision that contains only what was meant as praise for Byron Miller.While "Night" may not be a prime example of stellar celluloid, at least give credit where credit is due; Mr. Miller could've been like so many wannabe filmmakers and sat around and talked, and talked, and talked about making a movie. Instead, he got off his butt and had the balls to follow through, despite all of the adversity. The film's, so called, cheap look was not the result of any lack of talent, it was the lack of money. Byron is, in my opinion, a true artist who created something from, for all intents and purposes, nothing. I'd like to see the Nay Sayers who feel it's necessary to tear apart anyone else's creative efforts do better on their first outing. Many a first film is hard to watch by some. Too many people, who have no true idea what when into making this movie, or any movie for that matter, are far to quick to criticize. While the Nay Sayers may be correct about the cast and crew being comprised of friends and family; these Nay Sayers need to realize that many of those friends and family are, in fact, entertainment industry professionals, as well. Read the cast and crew profiles on IMDb.com and see for yourselves. I,myself, worked on "Night" and I have been a working professional in the entertainment industry for many years. "Night" was produced in association with my production company, Glass Asylum Productions, LLC; and I designed and created all of the effects. If studying Make Up Effects under the greatest living make up artist, Dick Smith; being a member of the Universal Orlando Prosthetics Department, and having 6 films (4 for make up) to my credit, makes me an amateur, then I guess I am.Many of the professionals involved did so, not because we were expecting to make the next Academy Award winning "Best Picture" film, we did it because we saw something special in what Byron Miller was trying to achieve. We saw his talent, that many were and are blind to, and we believed in his unique vision. Always keep in mind that what you set out to create, and what you end up creating are rarely the same thing, be it due to creative differences, lack of budget, etc.We, with Byron at the helm, decided we were gonna make this movie, even if it meant doing it on our own. That's exactly what we did; we weren't gonna be a bunch of whiny babies sitting around crying that we didn't have any backers. We said "F*ck it, let's do it ourselves!" Ya know what, we did just that and it's out there! All My Best, Daniel H Ingraham; Executive Producer, Glass Asylum Productions

Paul Andrews Night starts late one night as a cop (I think) named Mike Jericho (John Hardy) finds himself in the middle of a robbery, as he tackles the robber (Will Green) a woman named Tonia (Melanie Ginnett) is shot in the chest & survives. Wondering why Mike sets about tracking her down & once he does she reveals herself to be a Vampire & bites his wrist which turns him into one, Mike seems pretty happy about it so all's well with the world except Mike's best mate & partner Jimi Cannon (Shawn LeTang) is determined to find Mike & save him from his newly found Vampire friends whether he likes it or not...Edited, photographed, written, produced & directed by Byron C. Miller I thought Night was one of the worst films I have ever seen & believe me I've seen some crap films. The so called script isn't worthy of the name, this has no discernible storyline, nothing drives the film forward, it's incredibly dull & boring plus the characterisation is some of the worst I've had the displeasure to see. The dialogue is awful, there's no action, there's next to no gore & it took me four attempts over three days to get through to the end of this piece of crap. Now I realise this had the sort of budget which probably wouldn't stretch to a round of drinks but that is no excuse, I'm sorry but when I have spend good money & 90 odd minutes of my life to watch this utter crap I find it difficult to have any sympathy & I genuinely struggle to see how anyone could gain any sort of entertainment or pleasure from such a poor film. Night is the sort of film which makes you lose the will to live, Night is the sort of film which makes you feel like poking your eyes out & Night is the sort of film which I personally think is killing the horror genre.Director Byron quite obviously hasn't made a film before & quite obviously has no experience in doing so, this is basically a home movie shot on a digital camcorder using friends & family as cast & crew & edited on a cheap software package on a PC. This is one of the worst looking amateurish films I've seen since Swamp Zombies (2005). Forget about any gore as it's strictly of the plastic axes stuck to peoples foreheads type variety, there's a bit of nudity & some fight scenes which are absolutely pathetic. I'm sorry but I just don't have anything positive to say about this crap.With a supposed budget of about $7,000 which is maybe the second lowest budgeted film I've seen Night looks horrible in every regard from cheap lighting, poor special effects, bland locations which amount to a warehouse, a few street corners, a car park & a roof, rubbish acting & awful muffled hard to understand shot on set dialogue.Night is an absolutely terrible film, I hated every single second of it & the fact it's low budget is simply no excuse for such crap. My advice is to avoid this celluloid turd at all costs & do something fun instead like having your fingernails pulled out with pliers.Edit, to the guy who did the make-up effects & posted a comment referring to mine. Firstly I didn't say I could do better & I know for a fact that I couldn't which I freely & openly admit because I don't want to make a film & have absolutely zero interest in doing so, I simply want to be entertained by them & frankly Night fell someway short for me. Secondly I'm sorry but if I pay good money & spend 90 minutes of my life watching Night then I can say whatever I want about it, period. Thirdly for what it's worth I genuinely hope the film finds an audience & is successful for you, at the end of the day I didn't it like but so what? I'm just but one person on a planet of 6 billion...
