      Noel Murray Los Angeles Times While subtle, moody horror films can be great, without something solid to coalesce around, eventually the atmosphere dissipates. Oct 19, 2017 Full Review Roger Moore Movie Nation Dull script, flat performances, a horror tale that fails to frighten or make us believe anybody has a stake in what happens. Rated: 1/4 Sep 18, 2018 Full Review Anton Bitel SciFiNow Nightworld conjures the spirits of many other stories to tell its own. It's an uncanny amalgam which, though pointedly derivative, to an extent confounds through the sheer multitude of its influences, & takes full advantage of very atmospheric sets.

      Audience Member Loosely strung together with little development of any kind until the final 25 minutes, by that time it's too little and too late. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review grant s This movie is a lot better than the 13% bullshit they are giving it. Give it a chance. You have to watch it with an imagination. People dont seem to have that today anymore. Its not an amazing movie, but it is definitely worth watching one night when you want to scare yourself. Jason London and Robert Englund did a good job in this film, but Gianni Capaldi did really well to stand out on her own in this film. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Nathan A Grieving man tries to forget about his dead wife. But she keeps visiting him in his dreams. The premise is okay and the ending is great. But everything else is strictly lifetime. The lighting is off. The acting is odd. The script is indecisive. It's a struggle to hang in there for the payoff. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/18/18 Full Review Audience Member Much of the movie had the right vibe to get a horror film started, which would have been great if one ever really did. Instead, it mostly stays in first gear until the very end, at which point it just sort of wraps up and ends. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member It's just bad. Jump scares all over the place, trying to be a slow burn creepy movie but the false tension, the bad writing, the convoluted yet predictable plot get in the way and make it borring Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member The film is a Euro-horror filled with heavy, stylized atmosphere both Gothic and ghosty. It plays of tempered elements of Italian horror masters like Fulci with weak results. The story is a classic ghost story with the notable presence of mid-20th century megalomania in that the big bad has an apocalyptic agenda against humanity. The film is saturated with spooky atmospheric moments built on Eurocentric melodrama. Think Eastern European soap operas. London gives a credible performance in the lead which almost makes you wonder why his career did a 180 all those years ago. Englund sadly gives a mediocre performance that shows either an issue with script or money. My guess is script material which almost seems to phone it in. The special effects are limited and subpar at best, driven by eerie, creepy music and Gothic spectacle that doesn't quite get you there. Practical and CGI FX work barely meets basic cable paranormal shtick found on almost all networks. Shadows, ghosty sounds and low budget horror are the soup-du-jour. Most fall flat and by no means give fright. Overall "Nightworld" doesn't really do much for the paranormal genre other than provide a nice slice visual beauty that can be found in Eastern Europe. London'so performance, as good as it was, isn't enough to entertain and the scare-adjacent theatrics are "too little to late". Englund adds a little value to fans looking to have all his projects adorn media shelves, but "Nightworld" only warrants the standard once-over.
