INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
In a '50s New Mexico town, a switchboard operator, Fay (Sierra McCormick), and a local DJ, Everett (Jake Horowitz), start to pick up strange
signals coming through calls and the radio
Together, across a single night, they work together to figure out what's going on, and what the source of the signals is.Presented as an
episode of a fake anthology show in the vein of The Twilight Zone, The Vast of Night is a low-budget, cool little sci-fi film that's worth
shot, a great period piece and wonderfully spooky
So much of the film's running time comprises its two engaging leads sat in front of switchboards and microphones, taking strange phone
conspiracy stories, infused with more than a little '70s Spielberg
Director Andrew Patterson achieves so much just by creating ambiguity about the signals heard by the characters, and allowing the audience
show episodes are, it's a neat little story that's just scary enough to keep you on-edge up until its finale
and how they react to the unknown, is the real reason to watch.(Image credit: Amazon Prime Video)Since this is Patterson's first movie and
it shares a small-town America period setting, The Vast of Night is drawing comparisons to 2001's Donnie Darko
the time while you wait for theaters to reopen where you are
In a nice touch, Amazon released the movie a couple of weeks earlier in drive-in theaters, which would be a perfect place to watch a film
