- no, basically 'Dark night...' is way too dull and silly to be impressive. The premise, that of a mentally handicapped man being the unjust victim of vigilante-ism, is a good one, but straight away scenes drag on and on and on and lots of details are rather unbelievable. Also, the movie seems to want to play several genre-cards at once; drama / thriller / slasher / revenge-flick / ghost story... I'll admit, sometimes the most unusual of combinations can get away with it somehow, but certainly not this one.
The gang of vigilantes just seems to keep getting back together until all of them are killed, and there is no police anywhere to be found. How Mrs. Ritter handles the devious mailman Otis P. Hazelrigg (great name!) is pretty smart and even the supernatural guidance for Marylee from Bubba could have worked well. A couple of scenes did work well enough if considered individually, but altogether it became a bit of boring mess - I'm sorry to say, because it has potential.
