lyecoatha I'm not a fan of the reality horror movies because the shaky camera makes me feel a little sick and irate but I didn't get that from this movie, when the person was still the camera was still which made this movie very watchable for me.It was late at night when I watched this so it was very spooky and I felt a little on edge so I suggest you watch it at night too.The movie is set in a forest (and I'm not fond of being surrounded by trees especially at night) where a group of teenagers go to a place that is renowned to be haunted. The movie is shown from the flashlights point of view. I really didn't expect much from this movie but its special effects were really good, very creepy and very scary. I watched this movie 3 times and my mother watched it twice and I didn't think she would even like it but she did and she wouldn't let me take the dog outside alone she had to come with me and keep watch. We live near the woods so that probably had something to do with it. Another thing i want to add is that I saw stuff that I missed the first and second times I watched this movie. Well I hope you enjoy watching this movie as much as I did.

GL84 Heading out to a supposedly cursed woodland area, a group of friends find the claim that a demonic presence lurks in the woods to be true when they happen upon a terrifying force in the area and must find a way of getting out alive.For the most part this one was a highly enjoyable and exciting effort. What really works so well throughout here is the absolutely incredible atmosphere throughout this one as there's some thoroughly suspenseful and creepy moments in here that work due to the fantastic idea of how this one plays out. Playing up the haunted forest aspect incredibly well as there's just nothing at all wrong with the early set-up here, it goes from the early exploits of their games and camaraderie together with just the slightest hints that something's wrong with banging noises in the woods or animal howls off in the distance only to continually prove that nothing malicious is out there only to then suddenly turn that into a rather terrifying and enjoyable feature once the horror starts in earnest. Though there's some early fun here as it sets up the fact that there's something in the woods with them, once it showcases what's out there the film really kicks up with an impressive series of scenes as there's all manner of chases, confrontations and generally creepy encounters here that are immensely enjoyable and entertaining. There's plenty of utterly suspenseful times here, with the encounter with the boyfriend out among the rocks overlooking the cliff and the group in the woods where the falling tree nearly crushes them come off the best though the absolutely chilling sequence where they are followed by the unseen force turning on the motion-activated lights behind them which gets closer and closer while they wait for it to appear which it does in a rather chilling and startling effect, and the finale in the church is an absolute stand-out as well as the creaking wood and ominous foot- steps continually getting closer lead to a rather chilling finish. This leads to plenty of high-energy action along the way here with this one getting the dive into the underground caves or the attack on the abandoned car in the middle of the woods being superb stand-outs that really sell this one quite nicely and makes for another highly-enjoyable part of the film to go along with all the utterly chilling encounters. Though the found-footage aspect, given a more intriguing spin here as actually being framed from the lights of the their equipment instead of a video-camera as per usual, still comes with the rather tired antic of having the out-of-focus shaking visual trick that renders a lot of scenes really hard to make out what's happening and there's little thought into what's going on here as the story makes no sense, these here are really all that keep this one down.Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence and Brief Male Nudity.

bbickley13-921-58664 Nice try guys, I'll always give that A for effort.The movie reminded me a lot of the Blair Witch project. It was very retro in it's whole found footage horror genre theme. Maybe because they did a lot with such a small crew of people. A group of white kids go into the woods, for what reason never matters, but horny whites under age 24 in the woods, always is a bad idea (should be a law against it.)Anyway, the movie did have suspense. Some of the suspenseful moments were great, they were killing me with it.The problem here was the scare, and when you're doing horror, that's an important problem.From the moment the first real scare went down I knew this movie was in trouble. I did not jump out of my seat once in the movie, not once. There were some eerie moments in the film but nothing really registered. It may have been how sloppy the whole story was put together. I never fully got the purpose of the game they were playing (maybe cause I never played it (maybe because I'm not stupid enough to go into the woods to play a stupid game)The girls in the movie were cute. That was a bonus, I found them pleasant to look at, but no one's persona was develop well enough to really care weather they lived or died.Also, the movie had too many false scares, and horror moments. It felt like they were trying to add more time to make what could have worked as a short, a feature movie, but all it did was make an hour and a half feel like twice as long.Once again, A for effort but will not recommend watching.

JonAMoore I'm not one of those, whatchamacallit, lightweights. I am a huge fan of horror films in general, own over 200 horror movies, have seen countless thousands of films, and I have to say Nightlight is by far the scariest move I have ever seen. After watching it twice now (iTunes 24 hour rental system is awesome), I have to say this film defines horror perfection.To be specific, Nightlight does not fall for the average modern day horror clichés. There is no found footage, no research at a library, no complex CGI monsters, no "oh my I can't get any cell phone service!" and everything takes place during one creepy night. Nightlight preys on your fear of the unknown to deliver a true sense of hopelessness.
