An independent digifeature, from first time writer/director Alex Galvin. Shot in Wairarapa, 'When Night Falls' is a thriller set at a country nursing home in NZ 1930s.
A killer is on the loose in the Wairarapa area, and three nurses have turned up strangled to death. At an isolated country home, two nurses - Louise (Nolan) & Martha (Hart) - are caring for an invalid patient. They're left alone one night, as the home's groundsman goes to town needing a new oxygen cylinder for the patient.
But there's a creaky creak, a crackity crack, and the housekeeper suddenly becomes incapacitated. Are Louise and Martha so freaked out their minds are playing tricks? Or is someone else is in the house?
