When Darkness Falls

I caught this on Roku, intrigued by the title and artwork. I was expecting something more horror-centered, but to my surprise this plays out as more of a mystery thriller (and engagingly so).

The locations look great. Everything looks barren and it suits the nature of a missing person thriller like this. It could probably have done with slicing 5-10 minutes off the run time, but it does slowly build up pretty well.

The final 20 minutes in particular, after, yep...darkness falls, is tense. Given the budget it's well made, engaging and the cast is decent. It's a little far fetched in places but I guess that's a pre-requisite for this type of B movie thriller. I just enjoy seeing something where everything is on screen, out on locations (and I'll watch most things shot in Scottish countryside). There's too many green screen films these days.

Well worth checking out.

Omg do not waste your time on this movie if you don't want to be depressed and angry for the rest of your day knowing that the 2 women got paid well for acting badly in this so called trash of a movie.

Never in my life even for a horror movie have i seen such a bad plot and speeches.

I would love to know why imbd allowing there work colleagues to vote on this bad movie with good stars?

Many things i could point out bad with this movie but mainly the script was so bad it was laughable and acting from the worst possible way and like nothing like what stupid dustypepper wrote which was all lies.

This is the worst movie I've ever seen, I'm pretty sure I made up more compelling and believable dialogue playing with my Star Wars figures when I 8 years old. The "acting" is slightly better than a first grade play and I'm only giving it that much credit because the actors were probably able to remember their lines. While watching this abomination I kept thinking to myself that this isn't how people talk or move because of how stiff everything is, nothing came off as having a natural flow, everything was just so forced. With most movies there is at least one character you like, not this one. Every character your supposed to empathize with or not have a feeling about one way or the other comes across as having stick permanently stuck up their ass. The sound is also god awful.

(Watched as part of an early press screening)

Although I sat through the whole film, I felt it was an unfinished film. Nothing about it was good enough for home entertainment. It felt like a student film, although a student film would be better.

The narrative idea had a decent amount of potential, but Nathan Shepka executed it poorly. The quality was horrifc, acting just as bad.

The film poster i'd seen (Michaela Longdon looking in the mirror) was decent, proper thriller-esque poster. But looking at the poster on IMDB told me enough about how the film would play out.

Give it a huge miss is my advice, harsh but justifiable.

This is one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. The plot is completely contrived and seems to be written by a writer whose goal was to introduce as many plot twists as he could and try to top the "wow factor" with each successive one. This made the film completely illogical. The acting was wooden and the fight scenes were completely unrealistic.

I've traveled internationally, and one of the most fundamental concepts anyone who's traveled overseas knows is research the culture and the particulars of where you are going. Here you have two female American women trekking through the Scottish countryside with barely a clue as to what they're doing. Separating in a small rural town where they know NO ONE is one of the most illogical things I can imagine.

Do yourself a favor and skip this one and save yourself one hour and forty-five minutes of your time!!!
