158 | The Vast of Night

VON post.png

Directed by Andrew Patterson

Written by Andrew Patterson and Craig W. Sanger (teleplay)

Stars Sierra McCormick, Jake Horowitz, Gail Cronauer, and Bruce Davis

Premiered at The Slamdance Film Festival January 26, 2019, Released May 15, 2020

Rated PG-13

Runtime: 1hr 31min

RT: 92% critics, 65% audience

Almost the entire town of Cayuga, New Mexico is attending a basketball game, but Everett, the local radio DJ and Fay, the switchboard operator, have to work instead. They investigate a strange sound that has broken onto the airwaves and it leads to an extraterrestrial discovery that might put their lives in danger.

Next up is a film that has been categorized as a “horror comedy thriller.” Trailers can be deceiving but judging by this one it doesn’t seem all that funny to me. If you want to be ready for our next episode you’ll rent She Dies Tomorrow and meet us back here in two weeks. I’ve seen it for $3.99 everywhere, so not bad.

“Should pale death with arrow dread
Make the ocean caves our bed,
Though no eye of love might see
Where that shrouded grave shall be,
Thou ! who hear’st the surges roll,
Deign to save the suppliant soul.”
