The movie is dialogue-heavy, and in a lesser director’s hands, it could grow dull.

But I foundThe Vast of Nightonly gets more tense as it continues.

Unfortunately, I’m still waiting.

That makes it even more impressive thatThe Vast of Nighthas hundreds of reviews and is still in the 90s.

I’m certainly still thinking about it, and I first watched it half a decade ago.

In hindsight, I suppose it shouldn’t surprise me.

The Vast of Night is a science fiction film set in 1950s New Mexico, directed by Andrew Patterson. The story follows a young switchboard operator named Fay (Sierra McCormick) and radio DJ Everett (Jake Horowitz) as they discover a mysterious audio frequency that could be of extraterrestrial origin. Their investigation leads them to uncover secrets that could change their understanding of the world around them.

He even used a pseudonym, James Montague, for his lone co-writing credit.

I find myself torn that he hasn’t released another movie yet.

I lovedThe Vast of Nightso much that I’m eager to see what Patterson will do next.

We just don’t know much.

I can’t say I mind.
