Full Plot Details

Gabriel Noone is a late night radio-host in a big city, specializing in spooky tales culled from his active imagination. When Gabriel's lover decides he needs some "space" and moves out, Gabriel descends into a funk until a publisher friend brings him a manuscript written by 14 year-old Pete Logand, a troubled young fan. Pete's story touches the vulnerable Gabriel deeply. Pete was severely abused by his parents and is now under the care of his former social worker, Donna Logand, who has adopted him. Pete is very ill and he and Donna are keeping a low profile in a small town in Wisconsin to avoid discovery by Pete's mother. Gabriel develops an unsettling long-distance telephone relationship with the boy and his guardian. Nothing is as it seems and the skepticism of friends causes Gabriel to become suspicious of Donna and her motives, so he tries to resolve the loose ends by traveling to Wisconsin to confront Donna and Pete. But this effort is largely unsuccessful and we are left wondering if Pete is real, if Donna is really blind or if Gabriel is the deranged soul of the story.

Movie Reviews

Los Angeles CityBeat - 9/10 by Andy KleinDirector Patrick Stettner plays his cards close to his vest for much of the film ... going for suspenseful ambiguity, partly through including misleading scenes that might be considered cheating.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael PhillipsThe pacing and staging of the later scenes could use a little more electricity and momentum, and a little less restraint. Yet The Night Listener keeps you watching. And listening.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyA frustrating thriller whose first half is intriguing and ambiguous, but second one is generic without delivering the basic goods, Stettner's sophomore film is a failure as a suspenser and pseudo psychological drama.
WaffleMovies.com - 9/10 by Willie Wafflea very simple plot, but they mine every possible piece of tension and danger out of it to create a very eerie movie where danger is just around every corner.
USA Today - 9/10 by Claudia PuigThis unconventional psychological drama weaves a fascinating tale, and Collette and Williams give two of the summer's best performances.
Globe and Mail - 9/10 by Stephen ColeIt should be a better, more authentic movie, considering that screenwriters Maupin and his ex-partner, Terry Anderson, are retelling parts of their own story here.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution - 9/10 by Eleanor Ringel GillespieUltimately, the film veers off-course into pure melodrama and a trickled-out ending that apparently was also a problem in Maupin's book.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution - 9/10 by Eleanor Ringel CaterUltimately, the film veers off-course into pure melodrama and a trickled-out ending that apparently was also a problem in Maupin's book.
Hollywood.com - 9/10 by Kit BowenThe Night Listener is a rather intense psychological character piece that keeps you on edge, as well as intrigued, with the promise of malevolence at every turn.
Internet Reviews - 9/10 by Steve RhodesRunning just 81 minutes, it delivers its fascinating little tale with the succinctness and emotional power of a great short story.
