“The Vast Of Night” (** out of four) was a vastly empty melodrama set in the 1950’s in New Mexico in which a local radio DJ (Jake Horowitz) and his switchboard operator (Sierra McCormick) discover and explore a strange local frequency that could alter their town and history as they know it. Unabashedly old-fashioned story has authentic ’50’s aura and styles and is atmospherically shot by M.I. Lettin-Menz but you soon realize that film is going nowhere and takes it sweet time getting there. Film has similar elements of “Frequency” and “The Arrival” but lacks the complexity and tension of both. Stirring music score by Erick Alexander and Jared Bulmer is a definite plus.
