Preview: Gardens of the Night (2008)

• Poster: C

Review:

Although there is a line of text early in the trailer suggesting that there are some disturbing events in the film, a poster that's designed more like a horror film does not make for an enticing bit of advertising.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

The trailer suggests some interesting conversation-starting topics and hints that there may be some child abduction and other elements, but it's so poorly cobbled together, it's difficult to make head or tails of it.

Oscar Prospects:

I think this one will likely be forgotten by the Academy and even by Film Independent's Spirit Awards, but maybe not on the latter.

Release Date:

• November 7, 2008
