Nightlight

Five friends. One game. Zero chance of survival.

Directed by Scott Beck, Bryan Woods

201585 min4.9 / 10

A found-footage horror film that weaponizes a suicide-haunted forest and a blindfold game into a paranoid, melancholic descent where friends become isolated and hunted by supernatural forces.

Five friends play a game in a "mysterious" forest with a long history as a beacon for troubled young people contemplating suicide.
