Dead of Night

About This Movie

So, 'Dead of Night' from 2001 – it's a curious blend of horror and wartime narrative. Set against the backdrop of WWII, it explores the psychological toll of violence. The German soldier's descent into supernatural chaos after committing murder is interesting. It has this gritty, unsettling tone that lingers. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, with some slow moments that build tension effectively. The practical effects are noteworthy, adding a raw, visceral quality to the ghostly encounters. Performances are solid, capturing the desperation and guilt that haunt the main character. There's a distinct atmosphere of dread that permeates throughout. It’s not your typical war flick, for sure; it’s haunting in its own right.
