Take the Night

An impressive first full-length feature indie B film. Ignore the clearly blatant and bogus high user reviews, as this film is far from a 10. What this is, is a great first full length feature film as writer, director (only a handful of prior short films), producer and first-time actor co/star for Seth McTigue. His directing was surprisingly spot-on, and the cinematography near perfect, with an impressive tension-filled score that was fitting and captivating - especially for a B film. Casting and performances were on point, and the production values quite impressive. The story was great conceptually and executed cohesively, although some tweaking by a seasoned writer would've complimented the screenplay greatly. There were some character developments that lacked clarity and needed more depth, that otherwise felt like filler; e.g. why/what's the deal with the Bonsai tree? There were some plot issues, and although I get the last act, it could've been better played out. The film also needed more substance and dramatics, and less convoluted and unnecessary filler that made it lack the depth and scope one would expect in this genre. The pacing was a little slow, but the comfortable 82 min runtime with constant suspenseful twists and the excellent score, will keep you engaged throughout. Nevertheless, I applaud this newb filmmaker/actor, because he still created a little gem, rookie mistakes and all. It's a solid 7-8/10, but only gets a 6 from me for the blatant high reviews of which I can't stand.

I was a huge fan of the movie! I didn't know what to expect, but the story was very gripping, the suspense was very real, and all of the performances were fantastic. They sold their parts really well and were very emotional. The story had me hooked from the beginning, the action was great without being over the top, and the people felt real. Great movie, would strongly recommend!

Really fantastic thriller that doesn't always quite go where you expect. Never lost my attention or interest. I also met the director for a QnA. He's a super cool guy and clearly knows his stuff. I can't wait to see where he goes next, but for now you must go see this.

It was an intriguing movie with plot twists. Had an opportunity to meet the writer/lead actor and he did a Q&A which was an extra plus!

A thrilling movie from start to finish with a prank kidnapping, unexpected plot twists and strong acting from the entire cast. Great cinematography, lighting and music. Impressive first feature film by the director.

The first of what is certain to be many future thrilling feature films from this gifted filmmaker.

This filmmaker' Seth McTigue's first time feature film is an absolute winner. It's straight up badass, and the definition of cool storytelling in cinema. Totally worth the view and time will tell what exciting new moves this filmmaker will take

One of the best filmed indies I've seen in a long time.

Take The Night was fascinating & unpredictable with interesting characters who performed well in their respective rolls. This is a tale which I have not seen the likes of before. The concept for this movie had a unique story line. Also, I really did like that sports car!

I Just saw Take The Night and it was an awesome movie. It was a movie that I enjoy from beginning to end. It had a great storyline to it. Honestly people should go see this movie because it is worth watching and you won't be disappointed. Honestly if you love movies you most likely will see it a second time after watching it the first time. Two thumbs up for me.
