...i rented nightfall from blockbuster one night in the summer of 1990 and haven't seen it again since, but my takeaway was that it's not a bad film as long as you have reasonable tolerance for low-budget independent production and are willing to let it be its own thing, rather than expecting a slavish adaptation of the original short story...

...her initial description sounded familiar as something i'd seen in the summer of 1990 (when i rented pretty much the entire science-fiction shelf at my local blockbuster) but i presumed she was describing a more-recent film at first, and then when subsequently reconsidering nightfall, the quiet earth, and nineteen eighty-four, i dismissed the former as pre-apocalyptic rather than post-apocalyptic...
