The Night Owl (2005) Online

Ah, the magic of biblical apocalypses. Eve and Lily - step-sisters are the re-incarnate of their namesakes, wife 1 and 2 of Adam of Genesis fame. So when these two lovely young ladies along with 2 of their friends isolated themselves for a week at a lagoon-side lake house - with a hunky young handy-man who isn't named Adam, all Hell breaks lose.

This would be a very decent home-made movie. The plot is acceptable, if not exactly mind consuming. And the music was awesome, it fit well with the movie and didn't distract even with all of the plugs to the bands interspersed through out the movie.

The problems however took all the potential entertainment value out of the movie. The pace was ungodly slow. I completed an entire pedicure with a paper-clip during the movie waiting for something to happen. Even at the end of the movie where stuff did happen - it still seemed to occur in slow motion. The acting as in all teenage horror/thriller flicks was horrid and cheesy. I could accept that and wouldn't comment on it except there was potential scattered throughout the movie. And please - if the unknown actresses are to do their own stunts - teach them to drive a stick. Finally, was I suppose to be frightened of the invisible sting rays? Even with a low budget, non-experienced special effect movie crews, I found them more distracting than anything else. Rubber toys on strings would be more effective.

I am sad to see none of the actresses/actors have many other credits to their name. I would to have seen them gain more experience and do more than take up space.
