They Wait in the Dark

The movie does have a terrible twist. Bad acting and stupid screenplay. Does not deserve a 7.2 IMDb rating or 100% on RT. Idk how the critics gave this 100% something must have been wrong with the calculations. Not very scary. It is a horror movie. Short script strung out. U have to wait until the end before anything actually take place that my be considered scary. If your an idiot. I wouldn't pay to watch this...if u must watch wait until it's free. There is no lesbian nudity so if that what you were hoping for....sorry. If your killing time and are super bored wait and watch this movie for free.

I have no idea how this movie got decent ratings. I watch a ton of horror. For horror movies to be exciting and enthralling, you need to have good actors. That's why a lot of horror is trash: The acting is usually pretty terrible. This movie is a prime example. The forced, over-the-top acting took away from the storyline and the twist (which was actually pretty decent). The only thing I liked about this movie was the friend's one-liners in the car. I chuckled. The rest of the movie was bad. If you like true horror, do not... I repeat... do NOT waste your time on this. I did it for you. You're welcome.

It's really refreshing to see more female lead films in this genre that isn't necessarily a "final girl" "scream queen" trope. The twist was completely unexpected and the story was so well done. A lot of people leaving bad reviews are expecting a high budget Hollywood style film and don't appreciate the material as is. As a fan of indie film, this one really is a breath of fresh air. Patrick does an amazing job of creating/directing these strong female characters in a way that feels empowering and authentic. The story is creepy and immersive. You really feel the emotions of panic and terror that the main character is feeling.

I highly recommend this one to anyone who's a horror fan. Amazing work!

Don't be fooled by the clever, creepy title. The twist isn't worth the work to get there.

This movie is essentially a twisted little melodrama disguised as a horror film. Aside from a couple sprinkles in the middle, no actual "horror" even occurs until the final minutes of the film.

And the acting from the two leads is atrocious. I spent much of my time trying to figure out who was worse: the main character (whose acting lacks any range at all) or the ex (who makes every obvious acting choice it's possible to make and who should note that when you light a cigarette inside a car without a breeze AND it's already lit, it's not necessary to cup your hand around said cigarette).

Not good, not 100%. Was drawn in by the 100%. Don't do it. This is my first ever review, i started an account to leave this specific review. I'm leaving a 2 to hopefully break that current rating to a more realistic expectation. However, I honestly regarded it closer to like a 3.25. It's a slow burn like a wet fuse to dynamite - is it? Is it happening? It's happening? Is it? Okay well now i'm invested because apparently i'm already halfway through. Ohhhhh oh okay. Annd it's done.

For what they've accomplished as an indie with low budget? Mmk, i guess. There were just too many moments with the writing and the acting that i couldn't bear: high presence of poorly delivered poorly written lines.
