Stormy Night (2012)

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I just caught this film at a film festival yesterday where it was nominated for "Best Feature Film," which it won, "Best Director," which it won, and "Best Actor," which it won. I don't know anything about the drama behind the scenes of this film, and all the dialogue that was cut from the script. All I can say is that I enjoyed it a great deal and it had very little to do with the dialogue. The Director, Ezequiel, is very strong in the style department. I understand that deciding to desaturate the film into a very stark black and white was a decision made late in the game, but it certainly worked for me. This is the kind of film that I hope to see when I attend film festivals. It was interesting, moody, and fiercely independent. I enjoyed the work of the entire cast, in particular the work of Juan Riedinger who played Gray in the film. If this guy keeps working at this level there is no reason why he can't become a very "in demand" actor. This film might not be for everyone, but nothing ever is. Kudos to the entire team.

The lead actor in this movie was so captivating. I wanted to see more. I was at the AOF film festival as well, and this movie stood out as one of the best independent movies I have ever seen. The cast was so great and the director really showed a unique style in filmmaking that I haven't seen in many independent films. I had the opportunity to meet the star and the director and I have to say that they were so humble and excited to be there for their nominations. Good luck to all these people on their futures in filmmaking cause they certainly have a lot of talent.They deserved the nominations. Waiting to see what's next from them.

just watched this film at the action on film festival where it's been nominated in three categories including best horror feature. i really enjoyed it! the theater was almost full, and the audience reaction was great too. of course it has some minor flaws, but in general i liked how the story flowed, and i couldn't believe how much they pulled off in a single location! i would have cut the blond girl's dancing scene down a bit (it dragged a little), but other than that, really solid work. the killer was great, and i loved the look of the film. i recommend you see the film if you can. someone was saying it will be out on netflix in the next month or so, so you might get lucky :)

"People die at a Halloween party." That is essentially all that remains of the screenplay on which "On a Dark and Stormy Night" is based on. Thirty-three pages of dialogue was removed from the script, along with character development, plot-points, and the triple-twist surprise ending. In their place; five minutes of a woman dancing in slow motion, a four-minute Dominatrix dance (by the female lead, who, for reasons I cannot comprehend, is constantly snapping a whip and gyrating against other characters in pseudo-sexual positions), and a four minute "Moonwalking" scene (no, this was never intended as a Dance Movie).I wrote this film, and I am currently doing everything I can to prevent its release, as I believe it to be one of the worst films ever made. The killer's motivation is no longer explained, but he does manage to discusses his "next" victim after already killing him. Characters are constantly referring to situations that are no longer in the film, several of the murders are so poorly executed, even I, the writer, couldn't tell what was going on, and forty minutes of screen time has been stretched to ninety minutes, via the magic of slow-motion.In my opinion, "On a Dark and Stormy Night" is an embarrassing mess that will hopefully never see the light of day. But in the unlikely event you ever see it, I am not responsible. My screenplay was thoroughly butchered -- nonsensical scenes added, less than nine pages of unaltered dialogue remaining -- and I've since removed my name from the film.Emerson Bixby Falling Sky Entertainment
