Devil in the Dark

It kept my interest and I really wanted to understand it all. I thought it would all come together and answer all thise unanswered questions. A nice tidy ending. But it didn't. For me that did not make the movie bad. I for one liked this movie and will watch another time to catch somr nuances that i may have missed.

Devil in the Dark's an interesting little film.

Its actually not an easy one to review either. You can see a lot of familiar tropes on offer here.There are elements reminiscent of The Omen, The Descent, Blair Witch (without the annoying shaky camera thing or a witch), films like Snow Beast (for those of us who remember 70's horror) and no doubt others you can think of.

All of this takes place in a wilderness setting, offering lots of atmosphere, with some genuinely creepy, nighttime scares. What is particularly praiseworthy about this film, is how the stark outdoorsy scares are transported back to civilization in the closing scenes of the film. An interesting final twist that raises the hairs on the back of the neck.

The acting is not too shabby either, with a somewhat predictable back story that establishes the fractious relationship between two brothers.

All in all not a bad little horror flick. I give Devil in the Dark a seven out of ten.

This movie definitely had potential but maybe fell a little short, but watchable nonetheless

Story was not crazy original but still good and Intriguing. I would say the best part about this movie is the acting. The guys did a surprisingly good job.

The pacing was a bit off with far too much exposition ( and yet things still felt under explained) and nothing particularly exciting happening till over half way through. The terrible CGI was quite disappointing, I would have rather seen someone in a morph suit than that lol there was also a lot of back and forth, physically and dialogue wise that was on the verge of feeling drawn out and tired, but just on the verge. Probably could have shaved about 20 min off. The ending, while again not crazy original or unexpected, was still good and felt right for what the movie was so I liked it.

All in all it was a decently watchable film but nothing to write home about. Would recommend maybe for a rainy day.

The plot has too many unfinished plots. Even the ending is a unfinished story. Seems it was a movie made with lots of if's and the producer ran out of funds midway.

I found some people saying this is is a boring movie but I found it quite the opposite. It's a different kind of horror and thriller - much more of a thriller than horror.

This movie focus a lot on the relationship of the two brothers because they are opposites, complete opposites to each other!

Nobody ever talks about the sound mixing but it is quite good - plus, the musics chosen are really good in my humble opinion.

The end, well, that's the part that gave me more chills and made angry at the same time, to be honest!
