NIGHT TWENTY-FOUR:
A pretty great romantic melodrama with horror overtones; If I hadn't known it was an early Hitchcock, I might not have guessed since he's still finding his style while also pushing the silent cinema frame as far as it will go.

NIGHT TWENTY-ONE:
Another one that feels more like a vibe than a coherent plot-driven movie, rife with both '80s horror and HK action cheese. Maggie Cheung is always a delight, and it's enjoyable to see global superstar Chow Yun-fat just randomly popping up in a supporting role instead of being the main guy.

NIGHT NINETEEN:
Not sure if I watched this one so much as bathed in it like a sauna, between the dreamy-foggy cinematography, budget Vallejo van-art visuals, the meandering fantasy-nonsense plot, and the gummy edible I had before watching. It doesn't add up to much, but it's definitely an experience.

NIGHT SEVENTEEN:
Glad to have finally gotten around to the original, years after seeing the Frankenheimer remake. A couple of real powerhouse performances from Laughton and Lugosi, and the creature makeups are still legitimately weird and disturbing 90+ years later.

NIGHT FIFTEEN:
Not quite as kookily transgressive as BK2 (or the original), but still very fun. The freak makeups are mostly repeats of the previous film, but the new additions to the mythos (like the junk-bashed exoskeleton worn in the climax) make it worth a watch over some cold beers and pretzels.
