Upper Michigan Tonight is a curious blend of documentary and horror, offering a behind-the-scenes look at Windsor Lake Studios and their 1988 production, Trapped Alive. The atmosphere here is both eerie and intriguing; you can almost feel the unease seep through the grainy footage. The pacing is deliberately slow at times, allowing you to soak in the unsettling vibe of the studio and its unique approach to low-budget horror. Practical effects take the spotlight, showcasing some resourceful craftsmanship that stands out in a sea of digital fluff. There's an odd charm in the performances, too—amateurish yet earnest, which somehow adds to the overall creepy allure. It’s a must for those wanting to explore the underbelly of indie horror filmmaking.
