Darkroom

Something about this movie just kept missing the mark, leaving me unsatisfied and and very Meh!

The acting is actually really good but not enough to save the film. In some parts of the films its a poor mans Hostel but not in a good way.

The stupidest part of the movie involves the revealing of the backstory of the baddies OMG, of course you would have those details just lying around WTF!

The ending is simply horrible, I was going to give this a 4 (largely due to the acting) however ending just sucks.

I can't think of a good reason why you would watch this unless you are related to someone in the movie?

Michelle (Kaylee DeFer) finds herself trapped in a rather foreboding, dimly lit mansion terrorized by a sinister family after taking a job recommendation (the last you'll the word recommendation in regards to this boring little film, by the way, but I digress) A majority of the film is told in flashbacks, meandering, badly acted,excruciatingly dull flashbacks. I suspect to pad the rather thin material that the movie does possess. So what we have is what could've been a passable short film (that's being extremely generous) stretched out to a dreary, sleep-inducing sub-par saw-ripoff feature film. I hesitate to give this film a 1 because I have seen worse, but not by much.

A young woman kills three people in a car accident, apparently after drinking too much alcohol. She is injured quite badly herself, including no doubt psychologically.

A crime of this nature warrants punishment, but someone is intent on seeing she is not simply punished but tortured, psychologically and physically. She is lured to an out of the way mansion on the pretext of a modelling assignment, but once there she is held captive and subjected to nightmarish treatment by a trio of religious fanatics, well, a duo and the weak member of this perverted family.

She is not the only one, two other girls are murdered. This film is disjointed, with flashbacks to the accident, but has no real plot except sadism for its own sake.

I did not expect a lot from this film, but I received more then I expected. Actually I was pleasantly surprised.

For this type of film it is really very well done film.

Plot is interesting, I mean I expected from a horror film to be a horror film and it delivered. There was a lot of blood and that type of stuff. Good old horror stuff! Cinemtaography was surprisingly good, and acting was rather good for those young actors I did not hear from before.

All in all if you like horror films this is a film for you, I mean I saw so many bad horror films, this one is not that bad, so you probably will not waste time by watching it.

"Michelle" (Kaylee DeFer) is a young woman who was recently involved in a deadly car accident which killed three of her friends. As a result she is in therapy in order to come to terms with her emotional trauma. After finally being able to open up and talk about her traumatic experiences she manages to acquire a job working for a company called "Darkroom Incorporated" which operates out of an isolated mansion. Now, rather than detail any more of the plot and risk spoiling the film for those who haven't seen it, I will just say that her new employers are keeping a very dark secret which she is totally unprepared for upon her arrival. Having said that, although this film had a couple of surprising scenes I can't say that I actually enjoyed the overall movie that much. Not only did I find the plot to be extremely crude and one-dimensional but I also thought that the talented cast was terribly wasted. Quite bluntly, it was torture to watch and I cannot think of any reason to recommend this movie to anyone. Definitely below average.
