it scared me... NOT February 7, 2008
B. E Jackson (Pennsylvania)
Alright, what can you expect from a movie that came out in the late 60's? Not much.
Watching this movie was basically the same as watching an early episode of the Brady Bunch. You know you used to watch that show.
My biggest problem with the movie is, of course, it wasn't scary at all. What WAS scary was just how flat-out terrible the sound of the movie is. I could barely understand anything the characters were saying. Everyone's mumbling horribly.
The picture quality isn't much better. Everything again looks like the year it came out, and nothing was done to improve the quality in any way. Not that anyone would wanna come along and improve a DVD movie that's not any fun to watch in the first place.
I did like the variety of sound effects and music that was used throughout the movie. Of course, it didn't match a "scary bad guy hiding the woods" because most of it was just early Pink Floyd-like sound effects and delicate King Crimson-sounding flutes.
I did like how the teenagers tried to act like rebels against the cops. One of them threatened to "play loud records and dance the night away" haha.
However, that one song that kept playing during the scene where all the teenagers were laughably dancing outside in the woods was brilliant! It sounded like the Beach Boys a little bit. Really catchy song that one was. You don't hear party music like that anymore. Now it's all trashy unmemorable noise.
It really was hysterical watching the teens dance around in the woods in the dark listening to music. I loved it. They were taking it very seriously too, haha.
Overall, yeah, it's not scary, and not worth watching, unless for the great music of the late 60's.

Don't add to cart;not worth it, not even to pawn. its not even good enough for the "ga-bidge"-as my ma anastasia r. l. would say; all u see from start to end is a dum, no purpose, fast-walkin, dark, 1/2 deranged lookin gorilla monster in the dark w/ i think no action-barely. i think someone bought it from a grocer store & sold it. though ive never seen this (show? b/4 now),unfortunately i got it-got it bad. whats worse is durin an xtreme lightning storm i had to xtra convince the garbage to take it since the garbidge was full.
 John Agar, A Vague Monster From Space, And Lots Of Bad Dancing September 11, 2006

John Agar is one of my favorite B-movie actors, and in this movie plays the heroic small town Sheriff struggling to overcome the horror of multiple monster attacks perpetrated on "teenagers" (who appear to be about 30 in actuality.)
The premise is boilerplate: a thing comes from space (it turns out to be man-made with radiation issues) bringing a horrifying monster which attacks young couples in their cars. It also finishes off the most cowardly Deputy since Barney Fife put a bullet in his service revolver. Most of the movie is spent running through the woods and watching some exceptionally bad lakeside dancing (in very laughable clothes and even worse hair) but we occasionally get glimpses of the monster which tend not to be especially terrifying as they were apparently filmed with black and black film: there is so little contrast and the print is so dark, you never really can see the monster. It appears to be a Bigfoot type creature with a Halloween mask on, but I can't really be sure. Eventually Agar and his enlistees (and obligatory love interest) fell the creature with supplies from a local contractor and the fright once again leaves the night.
This one is more boring than a typical Agar film, and pales compared to his masterwork "Zontar, The Thing From Venus," but it's still enjoyable as a bit of camp.

John Agar has something of a fan following, but there's just no getting around the fact that he starred in a whole bucketful of terrible B-movies - including this snooze-fest. Night Fright is about as boring a monster film as you'll ever find. If all of the characters weren't so darned irritating, you could hardly sit through the whole thing without falling asleep.
It's a cookie-cutter script that was seemingly passed around like an unwanted fruit cake throughout the 1960s. Something mysterious crashes out in the middle of nowhere, some young smoochers are killed (1960s monsters hated smoochers more than anything else in the world, you know), mysterious footprints are found near the scene, the local yokel sheriff tries to figure out what is happening to his peaceful little town, the local kids ignore all warnings and throw a big dance party out by the lake, a few more people die horrible, usually stupid, deaths (I would certainly call sitting in your patrol car, loaded weapon at your side, and doing nothing for a whole minute except watch the creature slowly stumble and bumble his way in your direction pretty stupid), a wooden scientist shows up with a laughable explanation for the murdering beast, and finally the hero comes up with an off-the-wall, cockamamie idea that goes horribly wrong yet manages to work out in the end.
All of this seems to take place in a Texas town, yet all of the local kids seem to be preppies (and let me tell you, it's not pretty when preppies fight) with really bad hairstyles. We're apparently supposed to like a couple of them, but they are so goody-goody and constantly annoying that it's almost impossible to do so. The monster, who is apparently some guy in a used gorilla suit and a Klingon mask, inspires nothing but ambivalence, although he does have more of a personality than the resident scientist. John Agar is OK as the sheriff, but even he's not all that convincing. I guess it's just hard to motivate yourself when you're working with such a dreadful script.
At times, you might think this were some kind of documentary, as so much of it consists of nothing more than people walking through the woods. It could be worse, though - we could have been subjected to more torturous minutes of the kids dancing (if you can even call it dancing) to horrible music. So, obviously, the film delivers nothing on the fright score. What about the night part? Well, it really doesn't deliver there, either, as half of the night scenes were apparently filmed in the middle of the day. Unless you're like me and enjoy watching terrible old monster B-movies, you'll want to steer clear of this turkey.

NIGHT FRIGHT stars John Agar as sheriff Clint Crawford. Life is good in his county until a flaming object (we never get to see it) crashes in the woods. A strange creature begins killing the local "teenagers" in their cool cars! Clint and his deputy are in hot pursuit, tracking the mutant when suddenly, the deputy is attacked and killed! We get lots of scenes of the beast lumbering through the trees, and a long "teen" (there's no one under 35 in this movie) dance sequence, showcasing the latest moves of 1967. Thankfully, the monster is only shown in darkness, thus avoiding total embarassment! Agar does his best to keep his dignity intact. Not a bad flick. Worth a peek...
