Night People is a 2015 Irish horror film written and directed by Gerard Lough and starring Michael Parle, Jack Dean-Shepherd and Claire Blennerhassett.

The shoot took in many visually striking locations as diverse as Fanad Lighthouse, Barnesmore Gap and Grianan of Aileach but constantly ran into bad weather.

Over a six-month period, composer Cian Furlong created over an hour's worth of densely layered, completely electronic music.

Its inclusion was intended by Lough as a homage to director Tony Scott who used the same music in his feature debut The Hunger, a film that influenced Night People.

Musically the rest of the film included seven different synthesizer tracks from various up and coming bands and artists such as Electro Kill Machine (who contributed two songs).

The teaser trailer was released on 1 September 2014 and focused on a group of men uncovering a mysterious item buried in the grounds of Grianan of Aileach.

Unable to come up with a strong ad line for the final poster, the film-makers ran a competition open to the public where the winning suggestion would be used.

It’s a bit of shame he isn’t given more to do..." and concluded "Clearly made on a low budget, that doesn’t dampen the enthusiasm and vision that Lough has pumped into the film.

"[8] Andrew Thompson from Legless Corpse praised the film as one that "feels personal, intimate, and coldly spooky" and singled out Claire Blennerhassett's performance as a stand out as a "frustrated character, captured by her lifestyle yet so desperate to leave it that she would sell her soul.

"[9] Tom Little of Mr Rumsey's Film Related Musings had mixed feelings, writing "Beautiful, haunting imagery and a few interesting ideas don’t quite coalesce to form a compelling whole in Night People.

Ed Fortune's review in Starburst Magazine also praised Blennerhassett's "great performance" and described the film as a "good indie horror anthology".

[11] Matt Boiselle predicted in his review for Dread Central that "this vehicle should only drive him (Lough) further into bigger and more memorable projects in the future..." and described the film as a "creative little anthology piece that manages to entertain as well as provide some genuine thrills from the performances within.
