Nite Nite

About This Movie

Nite Nite dives into the mind of a child, weaving a tapestry of fear and imagination. The film captures that raw, unsettling feeling of childhood dread, as we follow this 7-year-old who’s convinced a monster lurks in his closet. The atmosphere is thick with suspense, and it really shines in how it portrays that isolation kids feel when adults dismiss their fears. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build, almost like a slow burn that keeps you on edge. Practical effects, while not groundbreaking, are effective in evoking a primal fear, and the young actor's performance is surprisingly compelling, bringing a genuine vulnerability that makes the story resonate. It’s that blend of childhood innocence and lurking danger that leaves a mark.

Nite Nite has a bit of an obscured history, often difficult to find in good condition. It was released in limited formats, with only a handful of copies circulating among collectors, making it somewhat of a hidden gem. Interest has been growing recently, especially among those who appreciate films that explore childhood themes and psychological horror. Keep an eye out for any upcoming screenings, as they might be your best chance to catch it in a community setting.
