Dark Cycle

I'm confused. This film has lots of 10/10 ratings, which is why I rented it. Cleary low budget but I don't hold that against it. However, it is at best exceedingly average. One review suggests amazing soundtrack. To me the sound is poor and music almost nonexistent. Competent acting and a slightly intriguing story but I didn't find any of it funny. I wonder if all the reviewers worked on the film... Very disappointing. I think there is some error in the IMDb system that allowed this film to score so highly without any checks. Ninety minutes of my life that I will never get back. The only reason we finished watching was so I could write an honest review.

All these fake reviews, notice not one of them mentions what the movie is actually about, or says anything that gives any sign they've even seen it. Plus how many of them even use the same exact few sentences. "The pacing of "Dark Cycle" was tight and relentless - I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire movie."

I wonder who the filmmaker paid to post all this garbage for this terrible movie. This is the most amateurish, poorly-acted, poorly-written, poorly-shot movie I've ever seen, it's like someone got their friends together to shoot a movie and nobody involved had any experience in acting, film, or production.

It's some sort story about aliens in the cosmetic industry. Love the Steve Jobs-type black-turtleneck-wearing lead alien.

It looks like they downloaded some free app to make the digital effects, you can do better than this with an app on your phone. You can probably act better than this, too.

Ordinarily I'd have ignored it but this much dishonesty deserves an honest 1-star review to counterbalance it. Everyone involved in this "movie" should be ashamed of themselves, except whoever got paid by these fools to post all these obviously fake reviews.

In fact, sometimes I'll site through bad movies just out of boredom, but I'm going to stop it and hit thumbs-down on Tubi just to hopefully help this garbage disappear forever.

Dark Cycle promised an intriguing blend of sci-fi and horror, centring on a sinister beauty corporation secretly run by aliens who abduct young women to harvest their bodies for life extension. A premise like this could make for a gripping critique of consumerism and vanity, but unfortunately, what unfolds is a film that struggles to engage, leaving viewers more frustrated than fascinated. The acting is painfully stiff, with performances that lack conviction. The characters, who should be victims we empathise with, barely register any emotional depth. Instead of terror and urgency, reactions feel mechanical-almost as if the cast counted the minutes until the final scene. With a sluggish pace, a lack of gripping performances, and uninspired effects, it feels like the creators weren't truly trying to craft something compelling.
