“Maybe 7 out of 10 is generous but I mark it highly perhaps because I had such low expectations which were thankfully unnecessary.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis filmu0026#39;s credits open with the title The Night Chronicles 1 which suggests to me his fan-boy homage to Spielberg has stretched to emulating the guruu0026#39;s Amazing Stories phase. This film does feel rather like one of those episodes rather than a full-blown movie: no stars, little location etc.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHowever, as a story, itu0026#39;s rather good (suspension of disbelief taken for granted).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd, itu0026#39;s rather well handled directorially. For instance, the upside-down sklyline speaks volumes without costing any extra.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film is ultimately a whodunnit. Maybe Iu0026#39;m stupid but come betting slip time, I didnu0026#39;t get it. If you do, you may hate it. I didnu0026#39;t so I donu0026#39;t. Besides, I havenu0026#39;t seen this Christian propaganda in a while u0026amp; it made me kinda nostalgic for those Omen days.”
