All Night Long

About This Movie

All Night Long (1992) is a curious blend of crime, drama, and horror that dives deep into the psyche of youth grappling with trauma. The film's atmosphere is thick with tension, as the backdrop of a brutal murder sets the tone for everything that unfolds. You’ve got these three teenagers who bond over the horrific event; their friendship feels genuine, yet shadowed by the darkness of their shared experience. The pacing can be a bit uneven, especially during the party scene where it all goes sideways with the local gang crashing in. It’s raw, gritty, and the practical effects are noteworthy for the time. The performances, while not always polished, carry that heavy weight of realism which really stands out in this genre mashup.
