cool movie
Very unique and surreal movie. Exciting visuals and good soundtrack. I came across this film at Vidiots in Los Angeles. It's a good choice if you are interested in indie and experimental filmmaking. The main character, Frank, is surprisingly funny, and the movie overall has a lot of quirky humor. The setting is a remote house and lab of a wacky scientist, Dr. Roberts. It's very green and lush, but hard to pinpoint the town or even the year that it supposedly takes place. Frank dresses with sort of a 1950's look, and there's vintage cars...so maybe the 50's, but soundtrack feels more modern, like 1960's or 70's. The strange girl found in the woods has some sort of visions or hallucinations that are possibly connected with the trees that Dr. Roberts and Frank study.
Nightfur is like a pleasant dream... The direction is confident.
The haphazard mish-mash of philosophical musing, hard science, mysticism and budding romance manages to maintain the interest of the viewer, and bring some emotional satisfaction at the end. The tale revolves around Dr. Roberts (J. Michael Craig), a physics professor doing some independent research at his isolated home, and his two young assistants. Frank (Jeter Rhodes) is a grad student hired for the summer whose fiancée died recently, and Helen (Jana Danae) is a mysterious young woman whom Roberts found sleeping in the woods and to whom he offered a job. (The fact that she is leggy and attractive probably didn't hurt her job prospects.) Roberts has been tracking an unidentified energy source that is slowly nearing the earth, and has laid out an extensive array of equipment in the woods around his house to help watch its progress. Helen is somehow connected to the energy source, as is John Moon (Creighton Barrett), an artist and woodsman who lives in the forest. There are odd encounters with the locals involving zithers. Something is going on, and the producers are not particularly interested in sharing exactly what that is. This may come off as annoying, but it really isn't. Exactly what's happening and exactly why isn't important. It's not the point of the film. What's important is the (often odd) relationship between Roberts, Frank and Helen, and how that reflects the (also odd) philosophical themes interwoven into the film. Plus, it looks pretty cool and has a great soundtrack of independent folksy rock songs. Even though the budget is obviously and painfully low, a lot of the film is shot in beautiful forests and countryside and in real locations, which contributes to a grounded look, which contrasts nicely with the surrealism of the story. The effects are generally very retro, and while clearly cheap effects are quaint and pleasing to the eye. They lack the garishness and seeming absence of care that often mar the effects of low budget films. Nightfur is like a pleasant dream, fairly undemanding but often not making much sense. None of the main cast have acting credits on film to speak of. These are not seasoned veterans of the silver screen. But they do pretty well. These are still better performances than one finds in a lot of independently produced material. The direction is confident. Writer / Director Jason Brown definitely knows where he's going and what he wants to say. At times, he does not share this information with the audience, but not in an insulting way. The ambiguity is simply more interesting. The film does have flaws, the fact that one never knows, from beginning to end, just what the heck is going on is one. But it is an enjoyable, leisurely ride. This one is hovering between RENT IT and RECOMMEND IT, but the benefit of the doubt is probably appropriate. Nightfur is recommended for anyone looking for a film very different from what usually screens at the multiplex. -- DVD Talk, Jeremy Biltz
Very Indie but great!
I heard about this film through a friend, and was glad to see I could easily find it online. I purchased it at Barnes and Noble. Being a fan of foreign films, I was excited to find that this new American filmmaker seems to be embracing existential along with supernatural themes. Instead of fitting into a tidy genre like romance or thriller, the film sweeps pleasantly through many classifications. At times complete trance-like, kaleidoscope visions fill the screen unapologetically. The young physics student, Frank, is awkward and heartwarming as he navigates through his unusual experiences at his mentor's remote lab...with a rock and roll soundtrack keeping the pace.
Excellent example of Science Fantasy
This movie was amazing. Its almost therapeutic to watch due to its dreamy pace and great music. I am a fan french new wave cinema and this movie delivers something to audiences that most Hollywood-Obsessed America misses. You won't find spoon feeding and a by-the-books plot, but you will actually have to use your imagination and hunt for its grand theme. It is a theme which is often overlooked in our everyday lives, but lurks in every corner of this well directed film. The characters are quirky and at times and the acting a bit amateur, but while watching I couldn't help but be brought back to my Sgt. Peppers days when a good joint and a piece of art would remind me what is truly ground breaking and what is just a big commercial. If you want to see a unique film made by real filmmakers that are not driven by the whip of commercialism and advertising money, this is the real deal! I am so glad to find that truly original indie films are still being made.
Highly Original!
Checked this out recently and was pleasantly surprised at the originality. I felt that it presented some deeper concepts for a low-budget film and I can imagine that good things will come from these artists. Its sort of a hybrid of B Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Art House. I can't tell where the film is set time-wise - kind of interesting and it helps me believe in these campy characters. I like that the movie didn't take itself to seriously, but still challenges viewers to use their imagination. Its nice to see a movie that doesn't fit inside the box - the last thing I need is to see another dumbed-down college comedy or horror.
