In “The Long Night” we meet the New York couple Grace (Scout Taylor-Compton) and Jack (Nolan Gerard Funk) who take a journey to the deep south of the US. Here, the young woman who was given up for adoption as a baby wants to look for her biological parents, whom she has never met. Their local contact is a man named Frank Caldwell (King Orba), who invited the two to his luxurious mansion on a remote former cotton plantation.
However, when they arrive at the property, the building is deserted and Frank cannot be found. To which Jack would want to turn around immediately. But Grace insists on staying to find out what’s going on. While looking around the nearby forest, they not only find deadly snakes, but also a number of ghostly totems hanging from the trees.
Back at the house, they find that their phones and the car have stopped working. As it gets dark, they see a group of people in robes wearing animal skulls as masks surrounding the plantation. The boys set fire to a giant wooden pentagram and begin performing terrifying rituals. What do you want from Grace and Jack?
The thriller premiered in North America in February 2022 in select cinemas and simultaneously streaming. “The Long Night” will be released on Blu-ray and DVD in Germany on February 24, 2023. Both formats with FSK-16 approval can already be pre-ordered from online providers such as Amazon:
