    Yeah. But Night 90 isn't really that good.

    What? Mr. G dislikes! Some of the dialogue should have been updated but IMO it's a minor classic!

    Love the feel of the film! The opening is excellent!

    But the overall premise just doesn't quite work IMHO. Shame! But a nice, well put togethor ride!

    Just watched this, i really enjoyed it. It felt like 30 days of night meets right at your door in terms of vibe. Lovely camerawork, very fluid but the more things get chaotic the more erratic it gets. i really dug the directing the male lead was brilliant.

    I thought the opening scene with the oscilloscope was awesome at setting the feel...

    Just a shame IMHO the overall premise didn't quite work...

    didnt care, was enthralled to the end like a great outer limits episode. we see little violence, one moment of gore. the rest is people sitting and talking and how f*cking effective was it regardless of that? thats commendable shit son.

    Agreed.

    Stephen McHattie (the lead) was boss in this flick too.

    Yes and no.

    It was ok and did well with it's limited budget. But it fizzled out in the second half and I couldn't accept the "language is a virus" hook. So, in the end it just an ok film, nothing special though.
