neutral · AI labelView post →Way behind on talking about actual movies at #FantasticFest. So far, NIGHT PATROL is the hit of the festival for me. Great film to go into blind if you loved SINNERS. Starts with STRANGE DAYS' inciting incident and then unfolds with a series of increasingly demented but Pertinent To Now surprises.

neutral · AI labelView post →Night Patrol (2026) is a dark, bloody and surprisingly campy ride at times. A movie that dares to say ACAV: "all cops are vampires." And it says it very, very well. 😂👍

neutral · AI labelView post →The corrupt vampire cops movie NIGHT PATROL didn't really do it for me. (It's on Shudder if you're curious, though.)
negative · AI labelView post →With NIGHT PATROL, director @ryanprows.bsky.social delivers some of the wildest, craziest mayhem you're likely to see onscreen in 2026 - and with a dash of substance, too. The movie opens in theaters this week. Here's my review: aisleseat.com/night-patrol... #filmsky #NightPatrol @ofcs.bsky.social

neutral · AI labelView post →NIGHT PATROL is out this weekend. As my first published review, it pains me somewhat that it has to be negative, but that's how the cookie crumbles sometimes. It's a film I did not love and I found had major structural issues in regards to its character POV. More below.
negative · AI labelView post →Tomorrow we’re recording a guest episode of @certifiedforgot.bsky.social with Ryan Prows (Lowlife/Night Patrol), which means tonight I’m watching LOS BASTARDOS (2008). I love how this podcast has turned into mini film school. So many movies our guests pick to champion are first time watches.

neutral · AI labelView post →For @dailydead.bsky.social, I reviewed Ryan Prows’ LAPD creature feature NIGHT PATROL. “Night Patrol might be too much movie, a rougher exploitation film that gets lost in overstating its due backlash, but it’s a worthwhile midnighter at the crossroads of gratuitous carnage and meaningful rage.”
