“The Dead Of Night” (** out of four) was a languid horror thriller about a rogue young man (Jake Etheridge) and his sister (Colby Crain) who are alone and isolated at a family ranch and are soon terrorized by a group of nomadic killers who arrive on their property in the middle of the night. Beautiful cinematography by Troy Scoughton Jr showcases moody Midwestern vistas but story and script are meandering and cover all-too-familiar terrain. Film only comes alive in its final third but it’s too far gone for it to matter by then. Yet another movie strongly influenced by “The Strangers” which has oddly become a heavily influential horror film.
