Emma R. Very unique and well done. The filming style is like nothing I’ve seen before. A slow burn( but worth it! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Christian T Another low budget hidden gem, with this movie it's more about what you don't see rather than full on effects, very well made and well worth a watch Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/07/25 Full Review A C Un relato muy bien manejado de una historia tan trillada ,gratisima sorpresa haberla descubierto . Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Troy R The two main actors were interesting and did a good job. The movie focused a little too much on being artsy, focusing on making it like we are watching an old film and trying to oversell the authentic old movie feel. Between the style and the way everyone was acting/talking. Didn't love the ending but it is what it is. Story was interesting enough to keep me paying attention. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/30/25 Full Review Simon A This is a cinematic gem. The Sci Fi aspect is well known in terms of plot but it is handled very well. Despite the somewhat expected ending, this is a joy to watch as a story. The atmosphere, the mood, the music and camera work as well as the acting should make this film stand out for film lovers. The opening scenes are the setting for the film, no plot that I could see but this is essential, if only to get your ear in to the Texan accents. The group performances may have been improvised they are so very realist, beautifully done. There is a single shot near the start of the film, very long, no cuts at all. I must presume it use some CGI aspects as it is physically impossible, breathtaking in its range. After ages of swooping, wide angle, racing imagery we are crashed out of it with a fast sequence of cuts breaking the spell but starting another. It is worth watching the film just for this. The sound design is also inventive, novel in parts but very underplayed as all good sound should be unless it is the main character. The stereo sound effect of a passing car mixes in before a vision cut from a closeup giving a very strange impact. I have never heard this before. It works well. The acting is enthralling. I totally believed the characters and enjoyed their growing interplay. The technology used in the film, a manual telephone switching desk, a local radio station, portable reel to reel tape recorders - must have used transistors because they were carried and run with often. The camera was also a beautiful period piece. No spoilers here ! Just appreciation. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/25/25 Full Review Farah R It requires patience to get through this movie, but the payoff is worth it. The Vast of Night is a well-made sci-fi thriller that’s heavy on nostalgia with its incredible aesthetic and dialogue. If only it delivered a more climactic twist after all the suspense it built.
