A Night in 2005

About This Movie

A Night in 2005 dives deep into the shadows of adolescence, where a seemingly innocent prom after-party morphs into a descent into chaos for Ife. The film captures that nostalgic yet haunting atmosphere of the mid-2000s, with a palpable tension that lingers throughout. The pacing is deliberate, almost suffocating at times, reflecting Ife's internal struggle with her past. There's a rawness to the performances that feels genuine, adding layers to each character, especially Ife, who’s burdened by her secret. It's distinctive in its blend of nostalgia and dread, making the viewer question the innocence of those carefree moments. The practical effects, while subtle, amplify the emotional weight rather than distract. It's a contemplative piece that resonates long after the credits roll.
