Night and a Switchblade is the first feature film from Ben Finer, an artist based in Brooklyn, NY, shot on location in central Vermont. Finer deems the film a "bizarre film made by bizarre people," full of cult potential, best described as a deranged riff on 50's juvenile delinquent films, slowly unraveling into the beguiling and sinister undercurrent of the small town via David Lynch circa Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks. This descent into the abysmal darkness is coated with a hazy, reverb drenched score by Brooklyn based band, Color War, transmitting a soundtrack from the beyond. The film transcends its influences; highly unpredictable and original in vision, akin to the clouding of senses upon the appearance of the nocturnal hours. "Sandie Po is having a bad night and his evening just started. He is new to town; a gang of masked weirdos wants to beat him bloody; the only social activity for miles around is a Pleasure Island theme sock hop at the local dance hall. As Sandie careens through the perils of this peculiar small town, his night becomes increasingly bizarre as if the fabric of reality itself were fraying at every edge. Night and a Switchblade is a bizaro-noir, teen rebel movie about deviant youth and the lurid mysteries haunting a nocturnal American landscape."(
