Korra N @RT88131552 10/06/2024 Working better as a drama with very few scares, The Night is a bad horror film but a solid thriller that's worth a watch for great acting and some beautifully composed shots. See more Mahdi T @RT82668440 02/11/2024 Overall, the movie was excellent in portraying thriller, drama, and mystery themes. However, it did not meet my expectations in terms of horror. See more Diamond W @DiamondWitch 11/11/2023 There is something fishy about all of the professional reviews of this movie. They all basically say the movie is technically great even though it is illogical and meaningless, and has a weak narrative to boot. I would need three more pairs of hands and feet to count up all of the movies off the top of my head that are more visual, clever and entertaining than this one, and all of them have lower ratings (go figure). The technical achievements of this film are strictly adequate, the standard techniques of the genre. This movie raises vague issues and then drops them just as quickly. (The desk clerk rattles off all of the high profile atrocities he's seen and then disappears from the story. Why? Why is there a "magical negro" mumbling his way through each act? Why does a policeman show up with a doppelganger, ask to hold a baby, and then vanish?) The ultimate revelations are not shocking and not even all that interesting. I thought I might have missed something, but after reading all of the positive reviews, they convinced me that there was nothing there to miss. An empty, mundane masterpiece of some sort. Oh well...

The nuances of this film make us think, raising our level of abstraction in an effort to understand ourselves, our fears, anxieties, afflictions and secrets, which at certain moments torment us so much. The construction of the film shows this drama. Trapped in a parallel world, they would only leave when they faced their own demons. This is what suggests what appears to be a Jinn (a figure from Islamic mythology) who questions them at the hotel entrance. Furthermore, the consequences of ignoring what ails us can lead us into a spiral of self-deception that, in the end, will keep us trapped in this parallel world, that is, ourselves. Forever. See more Ricardo d @RT43154676 09/25/2023 Impressionante é que a crítica tenha gostado. Está certo que o filme segue uma cadência bem peculiar a sua cultura, mas é 1h45 minutos de um giro que não sai do lugar. Logo no início é mostrado um quadro de uma pessoa que não consegue ver seu rosto no reflexo do espelho; bom, o roteiro, é como se quem escreveu achou lindo o quadro e resolvesse fazer um filme que se agregasse ao quadro, e não o contrário. Pontos positivos: a ambientação e iluminação, e personagens de etnias não costumeiras a se ver em filmes de terror.
