Review of Nightlight

Nightlight (I) (2015)
1/10
Shaky cam elimination derby in scary woods.
24 October 2016
Warning: Spoilers
The Three Acts:

The initial tableaux: There is a short do it yourself video of Ethan, a depressed male teen, discussing his failed suicide attempt, plus his attachment to Robin. We jump to five teens (Robin; Nia, Amelia, Chris, and Ben) starting a flashlight gaming night in the Covington Woods. The woods has a reputation as a place where teens commit suicide, and where ghosts reside. Plus, there is a scary church located within it.

Delineation of conflicts: Robin has a job as a service person at an ice cream parlor. Nia and Amelia look down on employment. Robin is the newbie in the group, and the rest plan to haze her. Something in the woods does not like any of them. The plans for hazing seem to get replaced by other plans. Robin would like to live through the night and go home with her dog, but the wood seems opposed.

Resolution: Elimination derby.
