Spirits in the Dark

The director/actor is a decent enough guy, but how many scenes of him walking and walking and driving and driving do we have to see? It's like a 15 min story is crammed into a 70 min movie. I found myself looking at my phone instead of the tv screen.

Good movie to watch for the horror atmosphere created by director and also great cinematography good plot all in 70 min movie.

Brilliant cinematography, great atmosphere, but sometimes it feels too long despite being only 70 minutes including credits. Not exactly a horror, but rather a dramatic ghost story with average acting and a nice twist.

The concept is terrible. The execution is unbearable. Slow doesn't even begin to describe this film. Not a single word is spoken for the first 10 minutes. The "acting" is dry and emotionless. Most of the film is shot from the first person perspective and somehow that makes it even worse.

There's no understating how bad this movie is. I really want to ask everyone who gave it more than one star what they were thinking. Sure, I sat through it, but only because I wanted to give it a fair shot. No, I didn't expect it to get any better, but I have been wrong before.

There were zero redeeming qualities here. I'm actually offended that this film had the nerve to be listed in the horror genre.

Ok, I gave it 5 stars because I had to take in equation its microbudget, and considering what it managed to do with that, I think it is a fairly decent effort.

Spirits in the Dark is a good example of less is more, it has only 70 minutes, big fan of this idea, never overstretch it in order to appear more professional, if you need just 80 or 70 minutes to tell the story right, do so, don't bore me. It relied completely on first person perspective, and it was done so in good taste, overall it is a good production that couldn't do more. Of course, we have the eternal example of Blairwitch, where the tiniest of budgets managed to change find footage perspective, but lets be honest, no one is expecting that to repeat.

So all in all, I can't recommend this one, because it has little to offer, but for anyone interested in how to make a horror, how to lay down the grounds for one, how to take one simple idea, place it in the most of neutral surroundings, and have your movie without actors...well Spirits in the Dark is a prime example of just that. Hats off to those involved in the making of it and looking forward for more of your work in the future.

Cheers!
