Night Life

About This Movie

So, Night Life, from '89, it’s this quirky blend of comedy and horror, right? You’ve got Archie, this awkward guy working at his uncle’s mortuary. The vibe is kind of campy, with a dark sense of humor lurking in the shadows. The pacing is interesting, a little slow at times, but it builds to some wild moments. Those practical effects really stand out, especially when the popular kids return from the dead – there’s an absurdity that feels fresh. The performances have that over-the-top quality you'd expect, but they fit the absurdity of the story perfectly. It’s not your standard teen flick, that’s for sure, more like a strange little oddity in the genre mix.
