Things That Go Bump in the Night: The Spooky Pinball Story

About This Movie

So, 'Things That Go Bump in the Night' is really an interesting dive into the world of pinball. Joel Reeves captures the ups and downs of a family man taking this huge leap into the unknown, leaving behind a steady job for something as unpredictable as pinball manufacturing. The pacing is quite reflective, almost meditative at times, as it showcases the labor and love that goes into each machine. The atmosphere feels very intimate, rooted in the struggles of small business owners. There’s a certain charm in the practical effects of the pinball machines themselves, each with their own personality. It’s not just about the toys, though; it’s about dreams, risks, and the grit required to make them real. Worth a watch for anyone who's into the behind-the-scenes magic of niche passions.
