The relative restraint of keeping any supernatural creatures and most violence just offscreen works well to maintain suspense. It’s too bad Beck and Woods didn’t exercise equal caution in the dialogue department. Read full review

Like a flashlight that's running low on juice, you can feel the life oozing out of Nightlight with every faint flicker. Read full review

Nightlight is a perfect example of a film with interesting ideas that are totally smothered by poor execution. Read full review
