While The Long Night may not be revolutionary, it's definitely got its own dark magic.

The Long Night is a gloomy and foreboding atmospheric set piece with traditional yet not entirely tired folk horror visuals.

Rated: 3.5/5

Keith & the Movies

Neither the spooky backwoods tropes or the deranged death cult can muster the kind of tension this movie desperately needs.

This movie falls flat. The so-called "threatening" cult mostly just lurks with lanterns, and the main characters are hard to root for. The plot has too many holes, even for someone who doesn’t mind a few. The last few minutes have some intrigue, but it’s not enough to redeem the rest.

This has good reviews on Amazon so I was tricked into trying it out. I'm the first 6 minutes I could already tell the stars were hired because they knew someone who financed the film and then it just got worse from there. To be honest, I didn't watch it all the way through…I literally couldn't make it. Back in the 80s, low budget horror was at least fun, creative and cheesy. These days, people produce absolute garbage like this which is unwatchable and then wonder why they get such low ratings. Well, I guess they've got the Amazon system gamed so they're much better at gaming reviews than they are at making movies. Abysmal…zero stars to everything from the cast to the acting to the writing…the dialogue, the music, the cinematography. All complete and utter rubbish and I write that unapologetically to help keep someone else from wasting the 10-15 minutes I did on it.

Scout Taylor-Compton is as appealing as ever, but the film is just all right.

Scout Taylor-Compton is always solid, but every other aspect of the film is like a bad fan-film. The film is nearly incoherent.

It's not as engaging as it needs to be for a movie about death cults, even all the excessive gruesome (albeit well done) effects by the end did little to up the ante. Ultimately I was just bored throughout this thing, which is a death blow for something like this.

I always forget I watched this and what it was about. It wasn't very good. The acting wasn't very good.
