Warning: Spoilers
Nightscape is marketed as a horror, thriller and fantasy. The three do not go well together, and it shows when there are no scares or thrills in this entire movie. Even the one jump scare was so poorly, lazily executed that it had no noticeable effect on me.

It moves at such a slow pace its basically a standstill that inches forwards only once or twice in 90 minutes. The characters were impossible to like or care about, much less remember. The acting was an atrocity that broke the fourth wall just by how obvious it is made that the actors don't want to be there.

It gets even worse in that the plot is incomprehensible and boring as hell. I couldn't tell what was going on most of the time, and much of it seems to be pointless. I read a description on youtube that described this movie as a different and unusual type of horror that would linger long after the credits linger. Which I suppose isn't inaccurate if you count the near suicides out of boredom this movie caused. Otherwise, you will never watch something quite so forgettable. The special effects range from bad to an embarrassment to After Last Season.

Ultimately, Nightscape is a boring, incoherent, scare free, thrill free mess that is incomprehensibly boring, plot less and impossible to recommend on any level. Do, however, look up the four minute trailer on youtube. It is immensely less disappointing.
