Firstly it was time for a strong female Lead and Devil's Night delivers with Billie Jean Finnick (played by Jesi Jensen). The main 4 stars are truly the magic behind the film (Jesi Jensen, Jensen, Nathan Mathers (who is Emimen's little brother in his first movie, Sam Logan Khaleghi and Jerry Narsh), I wish I would have seen more of the two detectives who's parallel story chasing Marcel really works. Nathan Mathers and Ammar Nemo are the perfect Starsky and Hutch, comedy and action blended. Filmmaker Sam Logan Khaleghi provides strong visuals in his film which comes from his decade of work in music videos and with his collaboration with the musician Michael Tremante ( based on IMDB is a Lord of the Rings music producer) the music was EXCELLENT. Sam Logan Khaleghi also also plays the supporting role of Marcel who's side story takes the audience for a twist as we are thought to believe Marcel is the one behind all the crimes in the film at first and that's why the two detectives are supposed to chase him down. His Godfather is the Mayor of Detroit played by recording artist Swifty McVay. The Visual Effects of the Nain Rouge itself goes in and out of quality, In some scenes it's great and in a few it's not as good (reminds me of a lot of modern VFX action films in that way though) Kind of like how Wolverine's claws were in X-Men Origins kind good sometimes and kinda just obviously a special effect sometimes. Jerry Narsh who is the police chief and Grover McCants who is Jesi Jesen's partner are excellent and deliver pretty powerful performances too along with John Forman's role of the nutty town pastor. Everyone else for the most part is however forgettable unfortunately, there are a bit too many dayplayers and random supporting cast that appear in a forced way however, such characters that provide opportunity for the audience to side step at times. There's a guy who plays a museum manager, the museum is robbed of an artifact early on, who is barely understandable at times (actor with a really strong accent) I didn't understand the lore of the nain rouge he was trying to explain and had to watch twice because it was confusing. Outside of that Overall it's a Really good solid film for a first watch on a streaming site, but I wouldn't go out of my way to own it. That said the 4 or 5 main actors are fun enough that I would suggest this to friends of mine that want to log on and watch a good crime drama with a supernatural twist ending.
