Blue Hour: The Disappearance of Nick Brandreth is a 2023 American found footage horror drama film written and directed by Dan Bowhers. The film stars Morgan DeTogne, Michael Kowalski, Mike Headford, Nick Brandreth and Josh Olkowski.
Two and a half decades after her father disappeared in 1997, a documentarian seeks the truth from her family and law enforcement.
Bowhers said the story is based around a real person named Nick Brandreth, who was never missing. Brandreth is a photographical historian and all the family photos in the film are real.[1]
The film premiered at Panic Fest on April 19, 2023.[2] It was released on August 1, 2023.[3]
Bobby LePire at Film Threat scored it 8 out of 10.[4] Mary Beth McAndrews at Dread Central, Stephanie Malone at Morbidly Beautiful and Dani Shembeth at Slay Away all scored it 3 out of 5.[5][6][7] Katelyn Nelson at Daily Grindhouse said the performances were stiff from time to time but it "has a lot to offer when it comes to originality and atmosphere."[8] Louisa Moore at Screen Zealots found the film interesting but said the runtime was too long.[9]
