The Vast of Night

"Storytelling done well on a micro budget. "

"I had to muscle through the first 20 minutes or so of this, even turned it off, but I'm glad I gave it another shot. It's a slow burn, but it's worth it. And I don't think it's classified as a horror, but it definitely spooked me. Nice little hidden gem. "

"A good film. First 20 minutes are slow, but then it gets interesting. "

"It's was an ok movie I wish they would have had a better ending though. My alternate ending would have been to take the old lady with them to the ship so she could see her son again."

"This is a really well done low budget, sci-fi mystery. The film is a slow burn, taking its time establishing the setting (a small New Mexico town in the late 50s) and its characters (led by two teenagers who work for the radio station and the switchboard). The pair start hearing strange noises coming over the radio and they begin to investigate. The story really begins to unfurl from there. I suspect this might have been originally written as narrative podcast, because the film centers around two major interviews and it could almost work without the visuals. That said, the film has a visual language that is very evocative of the era and it is able to stretch its tiny budget into feeling like a credible period piece. It’s quite the debut for director Andrew Patterson and a reminder that a good story can outshine millions of dollars in special effects. 4 out of 5 stars"

"A great example that sometimes you don't always get what you pay for, Itty bitty budget fantastic acting and story"

"Would probably not have watched if not for seeing here. Excellent movie. Awesome acting. The ending, though.... Idk.? "

"Added to watchlist"

"Different than anything else."

"For me, it wasn’t about UFOs or #scifi. It was about the characters that happened to be in a plot that involved the UFO. It was campy, funny, endearing and kept my interest. Great film. "
