Verdict on Night of Violence
Recap
The film narrates a corporation with dubious ethics triumphing in a court case over a small community. But their victory celebration takes a dark turn when townsfolk seeking retribution storm the party, leading to a violent confrontation. It’s a grueling struggle for survival as the company fights off the attack until they are ultimately eliminated.
Best Parts
In this film, the corporate mindset is employed to establish a setting that leaves individuals feeling overwhelmed. It employs workers as mere pieces on a chessboard in a gruesome ordeal, revealing some struggling to survive, not those driving major decisions, and frequently oblivious to larger issues. The action is relentless and brutal, keeping viewers guessing about the current state of affairs. Acting across the movie is commendable as it portrays the ensuing chaos unfolding.
Worst Parts
The piece aspires to eradicate a brutal mindset towards people, yet falls short of achieving this goal completely. In other aspects, it aims to create a sense of shock regarding the events depicted, but fails to effectively convey its intended message.
Final Thoughts – Night of Violence is a bloody, relentless horror movie.
