In which the Mister and the Monsters join me in reviewing THE VAST OF NIGHT (2019), currently streaming on Amazon Prime. Directed by Andrew Patterson, with a script by James Montague and Craig W. Sanger, the film tells the story of Everett (Jake Horowitz) and Fay (Sierra McCormick), two young people in a very small New Mexico town in the 1950s. Fay, who works as a switchboard operator, stumbles on a strange audio frequency while attending to calls that repeats itself during Everett's radio show. She loops him in and together they try to piece what exactly the weird sound is. Along the way Billy and Mabel (Bruce Davis and Gail Cronauer) share their thoughts and experiences on what they believe to be behind the peculiar harmonies. The film's runtime is 1 hour and 31 minutes and is rated PG-13. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
