Hey what’s up guys. Today I’ll show you
a supernatural horror film: “Nightlight”! Spoilers ahead, watch out and take care!
The movie begins with a recording of Ethan, a high schooler who likes his best friend
Robin. He tells the camera that he has tried to kill himself by overdosing on antidepressants;
but he failed. This time, he plans to kill himself in the nearby haunted forest. Ethan shows a
matching keychain that Robin gave him. He plans to ask her to the high school homecoming dance.
A few months later, Robin goes to the haunted forest to meet with her friends. She heads to
the meeting spot with her dog, and gets nervous about meeting Ben, her crush. Robin meets up with
Nia and Amelia. She asks about Ben, but gets teased by Nia, who secretly likes Ben too. Nia
takes Robin’s flashlight, and asks her if she likes Ben. but Robin denies it strongly.
Ben and Chris also arrive. With the group complete, they start going deeper into the woods.
Robin cuts her hand on a barbed wire fence, but manages to pass safely. While crossing a river,
Chris and Nia suddenly remember that Ethan killed himself in that very forest. They
make fun of Ethan for committing suicide, and hurl insults at him. They find a set of train tracks,
and fool around. Chris drops his flashlight, and runs away from it. He rushes back to it,
then tags Ben who does the same. Amelia and Nia follow; but Nia stays longer to let
the train catch up to them. After tagging Robin, the train appears in the distance,
and quickly catches up to Robin. Robin barely manages to dodge the passing train.
While the group continues walking into the forest, Chris tells them that the forest messes up with
any flashlights inside it. Suddenly, their flashlights start flickering. Convinced that
demons are causing their flashlights to get messed up, Chris removes the batteries on his flashlight,
and tells them that the demons will turn the lights on for him. He walks backward; and his
flashlight turns on even without batteries. The light abruptly disappears; but eventually turns
back on; and Chris returns to the group. A branch falls from above. but Chris stops in time to save
himself. While walking, Chris tells them that when the demons possess you, you start feeling sleepy,
and lose all sense of who you are. Chris warns them to never enter the old church in the forest,
because the spirits inside the church will possess them. Once they get possessed, the demons will
force the body to jump off a cliff. He warns them to never write their name in the forest,
and that light attracts the demons. Nia shrugs off Chris’ warnings. They play
truth or dare; and Chris starts making a move on Amelia. They play a few more games,
before finally deciding to play the flashlight game. Robin gets blindfolded, and starts getting
nervous. Ben comforts her, and tells her the rules. After counting to one hundred, Robin will
remove the blindfold, and look for the other players with her flashlight. When giving up,
Robin has to shout “nightlight!” for the other players to reveal themselves. Ben leaves,
and only Robin’s dog is left. Suddenly, her dog starts barking, and backing away from an unseen
force. Robin takes off her blindfold to comfort the bad-tempered dog. She grabs the flashlight,
and starts looking for her friends. She sees a flashlight in the distance, and tells the person
that she sees them, and that they are out. The light suddenly turns off; and Robin hears someone
running away. Unsettled by the forest’s ambiance, she shouts out “nightlight”.
After regrouping, Ben and Robin exchange flashlights. Robin tells Ben to take care
of the flashlight, since it was given to her by someone special. Nia offers her own flashlight
to Ben. but he declines the offer. The group finds a dead animal; and Nia blames Robin’s
dog. Shortly after, Ben is blindfolded; and the group hides. Like earlier, the dog backs off,
when it sees something beside Ben. While counting down, a branch falls behind Ben and scares him. He
bravely continues counting. but a shadow appears in the distance behind him; and the flashlight
is knocked over. He calls out to his friends, but there is no response. Ben removes his blindfold;
and the dog starts barking loudly. While looking for the others, he writes his name on a tree
despite Chris’ warnings, and even taunts the forest, asking it if it wants his autograph.
Ben hears a loud metal clank near him and investigates. He finds a triggered bear trap.
All of a sudden, his flashlight starts flickering. He finds a trail of blood,
and a dead pack of wolves beside it. Finally, he gives up and shouts “nightlight!” but no one
responds. He climbs up a cliff to get a better vantage point, but hears someone approaching
him from behind. He turns around, but no one is there! Suddenly, the demon appears
and rushes at him. Ben gets pushed down the cliff with the flashlight, and dies. Meanwhile,
Robin and Nia are separated from Chris and Amelia. Robin asks Nia to come with her and look for Ben.
but Nia is too lazy. Nia is frustrated that she is stuck with Robin, who she clearly dislikes.
Nia asks Robin if she knew Ethan. She asks if Ethan meant to kill himself, when he went
to the forest. However, Robin quickly dodges the question, and leaves to look for Ben. Robin tells
Nia to sit still and wait for her. Robin later finds Ben standing in the distance. Unaware that
Ben has really died, she tells him that they have been looking for him. However, the ghost Ben only
walks away. Robin is confused, and follows him. She tells him to stop messing around; but her
flashlight starts flickering. Robin ends up in a grave, filled with crosses. Light starts flashing
on and off in the distance. She shouts that she doesn’t want to play the damned game anymore.
The flashing lights lead her to a dark cave. Inside, she sees the light and hears laughter.
She walks deeper into the cave, and finds Ben’s flashlight flickering on its own.
A swarm of bats attacks her; and she rushes out of the cave. While looking back, Robin sees the
demon chasing her. She finds her dog outside the cave. The dog barks at the demon behind Robin,
and runs away in a bad temper. Robin chases after the dog, but accidentally triggers a bear trap.
She frees herself, and continues looking for her dog. Suddenly, Chris frantically runs past her,
and tells her to run to the church. She tells him that she cannot run with her injured leg; but he
is already gone. Robin later finds Nia asleep. She tries to wake Nia up; but Nia is unresponsive. She
tries to drag the greasy Nia out of the woods, but fails due to her heavy weight. Robin finds Nia’s
camera on the floor. While looking through the videos, Nia finally wakes up, and asks Robin why
she left her alone. Robin tells her that she found her lying asleep in a different spot. Confused by
what is happening, Nia confesses that they brought fake blood to scare Robin, and apologizes.
Nia says that Amelia and Chris are at the church; but Robin refuses to go.
She tells Nia that she almost died in the cave. They both agree to leave; but Nia suddenly stops
to rest. Robin also starts feeling tired and sick. The flashlight turns off. The flashlight opens,
and is picked up by an unseen force. Nia and Robin are seen sleeping on the floor. The flashlight
suddenly drops; and Chris and Amelia arrive to find both girls sleeping. Chris tries to wake
them up, and realizes that they both have fevers. After screaming for help, Chris leaves to look for
his phone battery to call for help. Amelia tries to wake the girls up. but a tree suddenly falls
beside her. Robin wakes up, and sees Nia holding the keychain that Ethan gave her. She takes the
keychain, and wakes Nia up. While walking, they find a blood trail on the floor, leading to Chris’
backpack. They open it and find giant condoms, fake blood, and some notes on the forest.
The notes tell them to watch out for snakes and wolves. They also discover the church’s
location. Nia grabs the notes from Robin, and reads about the signs of demonic possession.
The notes confirm that the drowsiness and a sleep-like state are symptoms of possession.
Nia starts getting worried, as she and Robin experienced the same symptoms just earlier.
The notes also say that the victims had their names written in the forest before they died.
While walking through the forest, Nia remembers a dream that she had. In her dream,
she and Robin were on the same path that they are on now. Nia remembers being unable to move,
and seeing Robin standing under the fallen tree. Nia tells Robin that they were terrified,
because something was following them. Right then, a loud noise startles them. Robin asks
Nia what happened next in her dream; and Nia says that Robin’s nose started bleeding. Robin checks
her nose. but there she is fine. However, Nia’s nose starts bleeding. They both panic, and turn
off their lights while running away. They end up back in the cemetery; and Robin picks up a cross
and throws it. Their flashlights start flickering; and Nia finds out that Robin’s flashlight belonged
to Ethan. So she blames Robin for having cursed them. They continue walking; and a lamp suddenly
turns on above them. Robin reassures Nia that it is turned on, because of motion sensors.
They continue walking on the path, as the lamps turn on one by one above them. They begin arguing
about whether or not to return to the church, but are interrupted by a lamp suddenly flickering
in the distance. They watch as the lamps along the path turn on and off one by one. Eventually,
the lamp closest to the two starts flickering. After a few moments, the demon appears;
and the two run away, but get separated. Sometime after, Robin finds Nia knocked out. Robin
threatens to leave them alone if Nia doesn’t wake up; but nothing happens. Unable to do anything,
she sits down beside Nia, and cries. Robin then tells the story of how she lied to Ethan,
when he asked her to the homecoming dance. Sick of being around nerds like Ethan,
Robin told Ethan that she wouldn’t be able to come to the dance. However, she went to that
party anyway with the cool kids, and got caught by Ethan. When Robin later found out that Ethan
killed himself in the forest, she felt so guilty that she went to the forest to kill herself.
She failed, but found Ethan’s flashlight there. Suddenly, Robin’s flashlight flickers, and she
tries calling out Ethan’s name. Unable to wake Nia up, Robin leaves on her own; but Nia suddenly gets
pulled away in the blink of an eye. Robin reaches the river, but is attacked by a snake, and falls
into the water. She and the flashlight surface along the bank; and she continues forward.
Robin finds Ethan’s old car in the forest. Inside, she finds their matching keychain,
and a poster of the homecoming dance. Robin leaves her flashlight on the dashboard,
and looks around outside. She uses the flash of Nia’s camera to look around. After noticing the
demon’s face in a photo, she rushes back into the car, and turns the headlights on. Convinced that
Ethan is haunting her, Robin decides to talk to him to resolve matters. She exits the car,
and uses the camera to search for Ethan’s spirit. While Robin walks away, the headlights shut off;
and the car is flipped over. Someone picks up the flashlight, and
enters the old church in the forest. The person heads upstairs, and finds a messy room. Suddenly,
Amelia emerges from her hiding spot. The mirror also reveals that it was Chris that picked up the
flashlight. Chris tells Amelia that the flashlight belongs to Robin. He feels guilty about leaving
her to die, but tells Amelia that they should leave. Amelia decides to wait for the rest of
the group before leaving. While waiting, Amelia starts feeling sleepy. Chris notices that her
fingers are bleeding, and that she has mindlessly written her name on the floor. Amelia panics;
and Chris tries to comfort her with a prayer. The demons start banging on the door. Chris tries,
but fails to turn off the flashlight. He covers it with cloth instead. The flashlight suddenly gets
knocked away; and the cover is removed. Chris hurriedly puts the cover back on;
but it is knocked away once more. The mirror falls and breaks in front
of them. Chris reaches for the flashlight. but it is thrown down to the first floor. Shortly after,
Chris’ dead body falls as well. Amelia runs to him; but the demon pulls her away. She drops to
the floor with bloody eyes, and gets dragged away. While getting dragged, she tells Nia to stop,
revealing that Nia has been possessed by the demon, and is killing them off. Nia picks up
the flashlight, and exits the church. Amelia and Chris’ dead bodies are lifted into the air,
and tossed to the side. Meanwhile, Robin finds Nia in front of the house. She notices blood on
his hands, and guesses that Ethan has possessed her. Robin enters the church and heads upstairs,
where she finds their flashlights in a circle. The lights from the room below turn on.
Downstairs, Robin finds Nia facing a closed door. Robin opens the door and enters. She
finds lights hanging from the ceiling, and sees another door inside with an inverted cross on it.
Robin notices Nia approaching, and locks the door behind her. Robin opens the door with the cross,
and kneels inside the small room. She apologizes to Ethan’s spirit,
but tells him that he shouldn’t punish her friends for her mistake. Nia begins banging loudly on
the door. The lights slowly turn off; and the door shuts behind Robin. She is locked inside,
and gets possessed by Ethan. Possessed Robin walks out of the room, and picks up the flashlight. The
lights in the room get brighter and brighter, until they eventually shatter. The flashlight
suddenly drops; and Robin picks up a shard of glass from the floor. She grabs the flashlight,
leaves the room, and sees Nia standing outside, who has regained her senses.
Nia starts talking to her. but Robin slashes her neck with the glass shard. Robin returns to the
small room. Apparently, the names of the victims are scribbled inside that small room. Using the
glass shard, Robin writes on the floor, “Ethan was here”, confirming that Ethan himself was the
one haunting them. Ethan walks out of the church to the nearby cliff. Still, inside Robin’s body,
he jumps down the cliff, killing Robin for good. Just as Robin’s body hits the ground,
the day begins to break, revealing the bodies of the other four friends, on the ground beside
her. The film ends with a video recording of Ethan. While crying, Ethan confesses that he
is going to the forest to kill himself. He calls the video his final suicide note.
