    NEVER AFTER DARK is a crackling fire of a movie, eerie lights and shadows, atmosphere and danger. A simple story, expertly told, about an exorcist who takes a job with an unexpected wrinkle. It's not getting much attention so this is your clarion call: Don't ignore it.

    "We love a horror movie that looks at four different genres and says, 'Yes.'" Never After Dark spans ghosts, haunted hotels, personal tragedy, and exorcisms in a Gothic tale that actually unnerved @leahschnelbach.bsky.social:

    Went to see Never After Dark. Japanese horror film. Quite good. Ghost story with elements that remind me of the John Constantine comics. I wanted to throttle the guy 2 seats to my right who wouldn’t sit still and caused the whole row of seats to shake, however.

    Never After Dark is a great ghost story movie. Seems like today's the last day it's playing here, only a single-week run. If you can see it tonight, give it a shot. Love the main performance from Moeka Hoshi. Great ghost stuff, fantastic music, just a huge surprise. Check it out!

    There’s more than one haunted hotel movie out this year! Dave Boyle’s Japan-set ghost story NEVER AFTER DARK (★★★★) toys with familiar J-horror territory, then quietly turns into a classical ghost story: a slow, sly mystery where there’s more to be scared of than a simple haunting. Recommended!

    This is kinda bonkers. On the one hand, the first Pulse remake is a contender for one of the worst of all time, and you never really need to touch a Kurosawa movie if you aren’t Kurosawa. On the other—NEVER AFTER DARK is a really, really cool movie and I’m super curious about Boyle’s take.
