Highlights
While It Feels Incomplete, You Are Completely Drawn In
Leaving out details can often be detrimental for shorts. It can leave you stuck asking why this, why that, rather than paying attention to what is happening then and now. “Night Breakers” side steps that issue for you are constantly left to wonder what’s next? Yes, catching anyone’s name is impossible. Also, knowing why they are heading to La Luz, what life they left, and other things you are left to wonder. But, in the journey, as monsters snatch people, betrayals happen, and you’re left to wonder who, if anyone, may survive. It isn’t until the credits roll that the rush of questions comes about – which is how it should be.
