Aptly titled, respectful adaption of a national tragedy.
Sarkies does a brilliant job setting up the feel and mood of a small New Zealand seaside town in a slice of life style, giving us a brief but sufficient set up into the lives of those involved prior to the massacre. Then, as the title suggests, out of the blue comes the dark and unexpected. Sarkies doesn’t shy away from the violence and terror, nor does he glorify it. His method of storytelling via following the first affected family, to the first initial killings with Gray then onto the first (and only) officer on the scene is extremely effective in showing how tense and unpredictable David was, and how the town had a night of horrific terror. The acting is superb, the music effective, and the location beautiful (as it was shot at a neighbouring location to the actual town involved). Stand out performances by the two leading actors, although the rest of the cast (relatively unknown) perform exceptionally too.
Beautiful and haunting
This film has some of the most beautiful cinematography I have seen in recent years, the juxtaposition of the beauty and the horror are beautifully captured. A man descending into insanity and going on a murdering spree around the seaside town makes brings the question of gun control into focus. This film does not sensationalise the events and the acting is superb. I cannot recommend this film enough.
