Dark Night (2016)
1/10
Mass shooting told via ASMR
9 November 2017
I mean I guess this is what this movie was about? It really had ZERO momentum and every character lived in a sound proof room with almost zero dialogue to explain who they are, what they're doing, or anything.

This is the quietest, least driven and most boring movie I've ever attempted to get through. And that's what the experience is; you TRY to get through it.

It takes an interesting subject matter: a mass shooting, it tries to tie it in with a real event: the Aurora, Colorado Dark Knight Rises theater shooting, it changes the location for seemingly NO REASON, it gives us next to no information about any character the camera chooses to focus on and then ends without resolution, without drama, without consequence, without meaning.

This movie was and is pointless.

I wish I could say it was neither warm or cold, but it's not even lukewarm, worthy to be spewed from the mouth, its air in the nostrils that comes out with a derisive snort, or wind that passes through indifferent ass-cheeks.

This is not a movie. This isn't even close to being reality. It is nothing. It offers nothing, and it takes enormous amounts of patience and time from anyone who tries to be entertained by it.

As someone who has worked at a movie theater that had a shooting take place within it, nothing rings of truth, or hyperbole, but instead is the worst parts of independent film into one long, boring ASMR slog, that punishes anyone foolish enough to give it a chance.

DO NOT GIVE THIS MOVIE A CHANCE.

I too read IMDb reviews and pushed forward figuring it couldn't possibly be that bad. It's not. It's worse.

DO NOT GIVE THIS MOVIE A CHANCE.

If your looking for anything remotely deep, or truthful, or artistic you'd have better luck watching a Transformers movie than this. This is not entertainment or Intellectual nourishment. It is masturbatory in the dullest, blandest, quietest, most soul-sucking way possible.

AVOID AT ALL COST.
