Sleepless Nights (2022)
Very worth the watch!
I confess I started watching it (as I try to do with any film) from a DP's POV - watching the shot, lighting, angles, effects, visual metaphors, architectural / structural relationships in the shot that relate to the story, colors, continuity, etc.
But alas, the film got me and I also found myself watching as is meant to bewatched, with "suspended disbelief".
The script was strong. While it would seem like a tough order to make a vampire sympathetic, Mr. Hopkins seems to have the gift (maybe he's been bitten?). Ahh, that fine line between between sucking all of a victim's blood, or just enough to get what you need. Sounds a bit like like life, no?
Also, the actors really kicked into high gear the further we got into it.
Had a great time watching it! And i would definitely recommend it for anyone who loves movies, or who is interested in movie-making on a low budget!
