Dark Night worked superbly on many different levels, starting off as a parody of the horror genre, and quickly taking a turn to become a genuinely scary film. Truly entertaining, it captures the classic "teen slasher flick" ambiance without making the story dull or allowing the audience to predict the ending (partly due to the clever jumps of the narrative back and forth in time, and partly due to the witty script). I especially liked the delicate balance between the comical gore/dialogue, and the aspects that were truly terrifying. A big plus was that the characters are genuinely believable (more than I can say about many films I've seen recently); the actors capture the essence of being young and at a party, their cynical humour about the situation, all the while allowing the interpersonal relationships to develop depth. Their conversations are some of the highlights in the movie! They are also one of the main reasons that the premise of the creepy house works so well: you are really made to feel as though you're in the room with them... I recommend Dark Night to everyone (even though I scare quite easily). This is definitely a movie to watch!
