Review of The Long Night (2022) by Jluis_001 — 19 Mar 2022
For decades the myth has been fed that the horror genre can afford very low quality films because its style and setting allow it to do so.
We have seen a countless number of really bad films and the genre can boast that many of them can even become cult films.
It's amazing how horror is allowed to be exploited in such a banal way and still get huge adulation from gigantic legions of fans.
The Long Night comes to find its place in that niche of mediocrity with a production that thinks it can induce horror when all it can provide is tedium.
An apathetic film full of clichés that don't even attempt the most familiar tropes of the genre to achieve a little freshness due to a clear absence of creative and artistic motivation.
Add to that a few appealing characters that give you nothing to care about, and you get a story that knows very well what arena it's playing in, it just forgot the weapons with which to fight for something.
Even for the fans I think it will be an irrelevant movie.
