In a few weeks it will also begin streaming with commercial sponsorship on the Roku 24 Hour Movie Channel and the Sage Channel.

The movie has been pirated and is being offered free on pirate movie websites.

Alongside Night as an independent film is as good an adaptation as the original novel's author was able to make on a low- budget, first writing the screenplay adaptation then producing and directing the movie.

Speaking first person, I — the novelist — like the movie we made very much.

But the movie has been trolled endlessly on IMDb and IMDb's parent company, Amazon.com, which allows endless down-rating of the movie by anonymous sock-puppet accounts. I believe this is an organized campaign of disinformation to give the impression to as wide an Internet readership as possible that the movie sucks. I strongly suspect but have no way of proving that statist enemies of libertarian information and entertainment media are behind this. If I succeed, it opens up the floodgates to other libertarian authors and filmmakers — even some who themselves spend their energy trashing this movie.
