Dark Light

So you have a humanoid creature with a huge flash light for an eyeball..why don't you, I dunno, stab/shoot/poke/punch said bloody eyeball!???

I understand it's a movie but geez man the insult to intelligence is ridiculous

I had to sign in to rate this one because I am so tired of seeing so many movies get extreme ratings on here I don't understand how so many average movies (which this one is) get rated a 1 or a 10. This movie is definitely flawed, but as horror movies go, it's not the worst. As a horror movie fan, if I wait for a true 9 or 10 to come along to watch it, I won't be watching very many movies. The fact is, most movies should be rated between 3 and 7 if we're being truthful. Save the 1s and 10s for the very few movies that deserve them!

Darklight is the definition of an average horror movie. The creature is a bit on the fake side. But, for a low budget movie it's not too bad. The plot has some holes, but most movies do. If you like horror movies, you often have to suspend reality to enjoy them. The acting in this movie, while not perfect, is actually quite believable. All in all, it's average or slightly above average...which is good enough for a horror movie fan if you like to watch more than 1 movie per year!

First of all, let it be clear, Dark Light isn't a gem nor a masterpiece but in this genre (horror/sci-fi) it's worth a watch. There is a good tension building throughout the movie, mostly due to very good sound effects (I can't say enough how this part is essential if you want a good horror movie), a refreshing story (it's a bit different than the usual entities or monsters), some decent actors, and a completely new vilain (credits for the originality). That said you won't be blown away but it's entertaining for this genre of movies. Dark Light deserves a higher rating than it actually gets.

Ok, this little movie here started absolutely great, amazing execution for such a production, lovely tension build up, and managed to keep up this fast pace for quite a while. But the last part, it is quite disappointing actually, perhaps there was less room for imagination and they had to settle for an ending that did not deliver, created huge plot holes and had the viewer genuinely asking, What is happening and why?

Dark Light managed to create a tiny world for itself, with its own rules, but most of it went down the drain once the third act came in place, and I can't stop wondering how things derailed so much. I am still going to recommend it for it is an effort far better than most, even tho it feels like a let down in the very end, it does deserve more attention and perhaps some praise as well.

In the future, I hope the people involved in the making of Dark Light, take some extra time in order to offer their next projects a more constant tone, till the credits show up.

Cheers!

Seen worse but ok. Typical creature feature. I like horror and sci fi butvI also notice little nitpicks. First one is interior doors make the usual clicking noise when closed but there are no doorknob latches on any of the doors but they have to turn doorknob to open. Sheriff is a Sergeant which never happens. She would have had stars instead of stripes. As for movie itself. If bored and nothing to watch then ok.
