Netflix’s Night Books: Is It Worth Watching And Other Details
The name Netflix’s Night books have a distinct ring to it, you know: a scare-fest based on a YA book, something like Duskcreeps or Creeptomes or Eeriestories, stuff like that. The most shocking thing about this Sam Raimi-directed adaptation of J.A.
Although ‘The Book of Negroes,’ written by Lawrence Hill, is set in a fictional country called Libertalia, it focuses on the horrors that occurred during slavery in the United States.
A coming-of-age novel about two young people who are imprisoned by a witch will air on Netflix. Why they chose to adapt something with a beginning, middle, and end is one of the great mysteries of the universe; White has written several series.
Is it that I’m old-fashioned? Is there anything wrong with the idea of simply releasing a great film (or book, play, poem) and then moving on to the next project? Whether or not Night books are worth such treatment is irrelevant, but I suppose we can’t help ourselves.
Detailed Review Of Netflix’s Night Books:
The Summary Of Night Books:
It was a stormy night, which made it dark. Rain lashes against an apartment complex. Alex is in terrible emotional pain inside one of those flats because he’s a horror maven who can’t have seen all the excellent gory flicks plastered on his bedroom walls; there may be questionable parenting going on here.

That’s not why he’s sobbing, though. He pushes aside all of his Fangoria magazines and grabs all of the horror stories he’s ever written, intending to destroy them. His parents murmur in the next room while he hides from the apartment to the elevator.

He wants to go down into the basement, but there’s a rumbling and flickers of lights and voices that sound strangely detached, as well as strange murmuring and he winds up on the fourth floor, in an apartment that appears to be out of time. He has no alternative but to flee here because the buttons don’t function and the film has other goals.
The apartment is dimly lit, with old dolls and cobwebs all over the place. The Lost Boys flickers on an ancient console TV, which Alex loves. A slice of pumpkin pie is next to it, and he consumes it like a complete fool, taking a huge bite of it like an absolute moron. It’s clear that it’s toxin-laced pie, Alex.
He falls asleep and awakes to the sight of a heavily Cruella’d Krysten Ritter, playing Natacha, a mega-goth witch who resembles she burgled the wardrobe of the touring contortionist from Cradle of Filth: Hair by the Queen of the Damned.
The mother of the bride and groom, Mary Shelley, has designed a wedding makeover for the Bride of Frankenstein. The Bride of Chucky’s nails were painted. Not Helena Bonham Carter was her usual self with an odd demeanor to
Natacha has a list of demands. Every night, Alex will tell her a frightening tale, or he’ll be murdered. The tales should only have bad endings, and believe me, she’s hard to impress. She owns a hairless cat named Lenore, who is always keeping an eye on him; the cat has the ability to become invisible, but its feces are plainly visible.
Yasmin is a child-slave who has another kid-slave, Yasmin, who I believe is the housemaid. However, from the appearance of things, she may need one of those long-handled dusters. Natacha is overconfident and stupid, or is she just unaware of her surroundings? Yes! At the very least, the doors are warded to keep them from fleeing.
Yasmin and Alex go up to the library, which has endless spiral staircases stretching infinitely upward. He reads some books and discovers writing in them, perhaps the key to their and his escape. But can they really getaway? (It can’t be that easy.)
Even though he’s given a somewhat flimsy character to play in this role, Fegley is a likable enough presence, and his take on Timmy Failure, which was underrated, was a solidly amusing youngsters’ film that’s comparable to The Book of Henry but watchable.
What Do We Acquire?
No, Night books isn’t a Stephen King origin story, although it could be if it wasn’t so purposefully designed for people in the double-digit/pre-teen demographic.
My young scribe protagonist here, who we learn is a social outcast, had more twisted stuff happen to him than King undoubtedly did, given that he came of age during the Eisenhower administration.
The kids at school refer to him as Creepshow, which he detests, even though it’s better than being called Alfred Hitchcock Presents or Tales from the Crypt. The idea is that maybe he should just embrace it and be himself, which is the lesson of the story: Be yourself and don’t care what people say.
“The thing that makes you odd makes others ordinary,” states Yasmine as she teaches Alex, and sure, that’s a great sentiment for children to hear, although they should not completely follow the young man because they’d be better off waiting until they’re at least 15 to see Dead Alive.
The film is well-enough boilerplate medium-light scary food with a few inventive enough mid-budget set pieces, some skittery CGI monsters, a scene in which characters are chased through the woods by the frightening beast known as a Raimi Cam, and earnest work from its pair of young leads.
Ritter’s performance is insufficiently energetic to get the ball rolling; despite numerous chances to make this basic witch into a delectable kook, it feels stifled. The weak plot is swiftly altered course in the third act, which, as these types of movies so frequently do, comes to a thunderous and chaotic conclusion.
Keep your standards low and you’ll be moderately amused. It’s ideal for youngsters who find Goosebumps too tame or Fear Street too slashery. Maintain a reasonable attitude, and you’ll be modestly entertained.
Should You Watch It?
“Night Books” is a Tootsie Roll in your trick-or-treat bag: it’s not a full-size Snickers bar, but neither is it a fistful of rock-hard Pal bubble gum.
