Devil’s Night: Dawn of the Nain Rouge

Devil’s Night: Dawn of the Nain Rouge

Devils Night: Dawn of the Nain Rouge sounds, on paper, like a fascinating idea. It is part crime drama and part horror footage with a dominant presence of the supernatural as it follows the murders appeared in the lives of two police officers from a small open Detroit town. As the evidence keeps building up, they can no longer ignore the emergence of a supposedly extinct supernatural being, the Nain Rouge, who incidentally is the bringer of destruction to the city. See, told you it was intriguing, sparking your interest isn’t it. What is even more interesting or should say piquing your interest is the fact that the film features Nathan Mathers, the younger brother of Eminem and also features music from his band D12’s Swifty McVay who is the mayor of Detroit in the film.

Detroiter or not, there has always been a strong tie with Detroit rather in regards to its location, members, or the storyline itself: Devil’s Night: Dawn of the Nain Rouge is for all intents and purposes centered around the features of the city of Detroit and its people, their stories. For those who do not know, and thus have to do what the writer did the Nain Rouge or red dwarf is a term from French that has long been considered as a part of Detroit’s culture, starting from its early colonization by Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac. The story of the film revolves around the curse of the Nain, whose sightings promise disaster, a theme taken to the extreme in the film. 

Instead, while watching the movie, one can see the resemblance of the movie to the regional movies created in the shot-on-video period; the Devil’s Night: Dawn of Nain Rouge does not center on its visuals. In fact, that is nowhere near the reality of the movie. This film is gorgeous. It really is of high quality. It looks like the movie actually had a larger budget, which was viewed. And it was for the most part. Shadows are exploited to great effect in the film, showing a sinister aspect of Detroit, where further evil is possible.

The music in this film contributes horrifically in malicious scintillas. Sometimes, the soundtracks only consist of piano strikes which are enough to convey firmness, thus matching the horror themes of the film. Viewing all the additional work within the film such as numerous actors, this film surpasses most indie films.

In relation to horror themes, Devil’s Night: Dawn of the Nain Rouge approaches the theme of horror and the theme of police procedural simultaneously with horror themes appearing frequently. As the narrative progresses, the audience will witness Nain Rouge who is depicted as a red dwarf wearing a hoodie in the last part of the film. Nain Rouge is famous for terrorizing Detroit to the extreme. The movie is like a virtual amusement park for your mind. The latter combines horror, drama, and action while the former possesses the role of the main character. Most importantly the actor portraying a cop, Army veteran Butt who is rad.

I genuinely can’t say what I was thinking going into a supernatural indie cop film, but what I watched in Devil’s Night: Dawn of the Nain Rouge was quite something. It was one that surprises any certainties, any assumptions I might have had, to provide an exhilarating experience around a devil-riddled Detroit.
