Verdict on Night of Violence
Recap
The movie follows a company with questionable morales celebrating their legal win of a small town. However, their party turns into a nightmare when the residents crash the party searching for revenge. It turns into a bloody battle to survive the attack before the company is completely wiped out.
Best Parts
The movie uses the corporate mentally to create an environment where people have had enough. It uses the employees as the pawns in the bloodbath, which shows some are trying to make ends meet, not making the big decisions and often blind to the bigger problems. We get relentless and brutal attacks, which keep us wondering what is happening now. The performances are good throughout the movie, as we see the chaos unleashed.
Worst Parts
It tries to grab the Purge the mentality of ruthless attacks on people and doesn’t quite reach that level. Elsewhere, it tries to give a shock value to everything happening, but doesn’t click with the message it wants to send.
Final Thoughts – Night of Violence is a bloody, relentless horror movie.
