‘Night of Nights’ Review: A Pandemic Documentary That Plays Like a Horror Movie
Made by anonymous filmmakers, 'Night of Nights' captures the first few months of COVID-19 in Wuhan and Shanghai with unvarnished honesty.

The audience relives how humanity and compassion were stripped away, as life became about recording names, taking body temperatures, panic and isolation. Consider such startling yet completely plausible scenarios: a rude emergency doctor chastising a patient for not revealing their status, health workers knocking on doors and forcefully spraying people with disinfectant as if they were insects.
