"Dark Night" is directed by Tim Sutton, who made the musical drama " Memphis" in the same vein. That's a major demerit when a film tries to deal with material this complex and wrenching. Sorry, the alienated nature of the self-image in the age of social media and. It's a quasi-experimental drama, shot in Sarasota, Florida with a nonprofessional cast, about the culture of isolation that contributes to the culture of. Rather, it is a film about the conditions that led to the massacre. It doesn't replicate any details leading up to the shooting itself, in which a heavily armed and deeply disturbed young man with a shock of dyed-red hair burst into a multiplex theater in Aurora, Colorado, during a midnight screening of " The Dark Knight Rises," set off tear gas grenades, and killed 12 people and injured 70. Ultimately, I think this is an uncalled for sequel that could have been produced by more talented people given the reverence for the original."Dark Night" is a film about the 2012 Aurora massacre, by the way. But it’s a decent low budget time-waster that feels rushed, but serves as no-brainer entertainment. It lacks that magic, campfire tale quality that permeated the original. It lacks the production and professionalism. There is a DIY charm to DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW 2. There really is a nice sense of suspense and a true patience in filmmaking going on here despite its flaws. There are numerous nicely paced scenes as the scarecrow creeps up on its next victim. I also think that this film does a surprisingly good job of building tension. I could have done without the CG used to subtly move the fabric about the eyes and mouth, but the slight eye glow is cool. It’s similar to the original, but slightly more angular. If anything, this strikes a bit of fear into my heart as if this is any indication of what happens when rights are reverted, I’m terrified to see what Victor Miller would try to do with the FRIDAY THE 13TH rights.īut DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW 2 isn’t completely bad. Most likely, due to the new trademark and copywrite laws, the rights to DARK NIGHT fell back into the hands of the writer, so he decided to make a sequel now and do the whole thing himself.

And a lot of the writing seems like an afterthought, as if a scarecrow movie was being made and halfway through they found out they could use the rights to DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW for a sequel. The actors this film found aren’t terrible but lack the pizzazz of those with experience and training. Most everything is shot during the daytime, which immediately takes away a lot of the dark atmosphere from a film titled DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW. The biggest issue with the sequel is that it feels more like a fan film than an actual production. One of the characters is vaguely related to Bubba and this is supposed to take place in the town the original was set, but other than that, this really could just be the million and one-th scarecrow flick that is ripping off the original DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW.
I do appreciate the effort to make the story connect with the original, but the connections are threadbare.
Sure, I appreciate that the writer of the original is back to write and direct. But a sequel set 40 years later seems absolutely unnecessary and kind of crazy. That seems to be the flavor of the day in horror. I understand someone might want to come along and remake it. It was filled with ambiance and dark mood, not heavy on blood, but man, was it effective and scary. It was cause and effect with a creepy scarecrow. It was a moody campfire tale about an innocent man who hides in a scarecrow from an angry mob and is gunned down only to return to enact vengeance on them.
