In “The Vast of Night,” something strange
happens and continues to happen somewhere in the 1950s in Cayuga, a
fictional New Mexico town filled with growing shadows, cruising cars, and
roaming youths. Everyone is on their way to the high school, where saddle-shod girls
will soon be cheering on boys dribbling across the court. It's evening in
America once more, and things are about to get a little murky, eerie, and
strange.
“The Vast of Night,” a small-scale picture with a
lot of cinematic force, is the narrative of a town, a country, and an afflicted
state of mind that can feel dreadfully, fittingly, familiar. Fay (Sierra
McCormick) and Everett (Jake Horowitz), his-and-her nerds as well-matched as
salt-and-pepper shakers, are at its centre. They're curious, plucky, exuberant,
and talkative, and they both work nights she as a switchboard operator,
he as a D.J. at the local radio station which is why they're not at the
game. (They're nice, but it's a comfort they're not romantically attracted to
each other.)
When Fay first hears the sound, an unidentified and
scratchy electronic throb, she is working alone at the switchboard. It's the
big whatsit in the middle of an increasingly strange night marked by
cryptically lost calls and flashes of light. A lady calls in, her strained voice
falling in and out while a dog frantically barks and the sound creepily
pulsates, yelling about something, the sky, her land (“we're going down the
cellar”). Fay dials Everett's number from the station with a worried
expression. He begs her to route it to the station so he can play it on the air
since he thinks it'll make fantastic radio, a choice that quickly takes the
plot into woo-woo territory.

Director Andrew Patterson makes effective use of
limited resources and a script by James Montague and Craig W. Sanger by setting
much of the storey in claustrophobic rooms and spaces where the threat could
come from any direction (including above). He has a lot of help the score and
sound design are fantastic as well as a good sense of how to confine characters
and the eerie nature of long nights. The actors contribute some finesse to
their genre roles, but the outstanding, supple camerawork consistently outshine
them. Patterson, in collaboration with cinematographer Miguel Ioann Littin
Menz, transforms the camera into an uneasy embodied presence, and as it takes
flight, the film does as well.
Fay and Everett, like Nancy Drew and one of her
Hardy Boys companions, follow down the sound, matching our perplexity and
inquiries. They follow hints and rush through the night in an attempt to piece
together a jigsaw that stays tantalisingly elusive. Something is clearly out
there, but what is it? Given the time period, it's no wonder that Everett
places his bets early on the Soviets, though you might be thinking of a
different kind of alien invasion. The radio station's call letters WOTW
in glowing red letters indicate that whatever is threatening the town is
similar to what terrified people in 1938 during Orson Welles' broadcast of
"The War of the Worlds."

“The Vast of Night” is significantly
front-loaded, with a much stronger start than a solid finish. It begins with
the camera paning toward a TV in an empty living room, where a show akin to
"The Twilight Zone" is about to begin. A Rod Serling-like voice
announces, "You're entering the area between clandestine and
forgotten." The strobing blue visuals eventually give way to a denser,
more vibrantly coloured film, which then takes off like a shot. This evocation
of Serling, like the homage to Welles, sets the paranoid tone and serves as a
reminder that one of our greatest national attributes is utterly frightening
ourselves out with both imagined and genuine threats.

When you consider the budget and the fact that
Patterson basically self-financed the film, the moments of technical virtuosity
are incredible. There's a tracking shot down the main drag, around a corner,
over some grass, past the power station, through the gym parking lot, into the
crowded gym, and then out again. Another memorable scene is a ten-minute single-take
scene in which Fay, at the switchboard, takes calls, makes calls, plugs wires
in, pulls wires out, each call with a different agenda, all fueled by Fay's
growing fear that something is very wrong "out there" in the vast
night.
"The Vast of Night" is more than a style experiment. It isn't ironic in tone, and the genre isn't surrounded by quotation marks. The tail-finned vehicles, saddle shoes, cat-eye spectacles, and Sputnik references all position us in time, yet the period isn't dwelt on or degraded. Instead, we get a dense layer of atmosphere and texture, a peculiar and unsettling mood, and a strong sense of attachment to the persons we meet. By the end, the distancing choices taken at the start have only increased the sensations of intimacy and warmth.
