Darker Than Night

This is a lower budget film about a girl who has recently gone blind. Dad's going out of town but two of her friends along with a friend of her dad, who needs a room for the night, will be with her in his absence. Things are going along ok until they start to nose dive.

Some have complained about the acting but it is a low budget film. Taking that into consideration gives me the opinion that they weren't all that bad because they could be soooo much worse.

The story is weak at best and there is very little character development so there's not a whole lot to be interested in. It's just a random flick about random people in a random town with some random stuff going on. Nothing to invest in.

I give this a 3.5 but we don't do half stars here and I decided to be generous by bumping it up to a 4. With that said, this is a very forgettable movie that is mostly like just something to watch when trying to kill some time.

If the girl had not been blind, there would be nothing to this movie! Also, did I imagine this or where there pauses in the movie where commercials easily could go? Made for TV? Would explain a lot.

This film does well with its budget. Its shot well & the acting is pretty good.

However it its very predictable, I'd worked out how it was going to play out within the first 15 minutes.

The original title is Darker Than Night. Sloan Carter is recently blind. Her father is a professor of criminology. While he's away for work, he leaves Sloan with her friends Toby and Mika. Bill arrives at the house as the trio heads off for a party. Bill is supposedly studying under Sloan's father and sent by him. There is also a creepy girl.

The start is a little confused. I'm sure the relationships are all explained somewhere but it's not the clearest. Still, it's an interesting premise. It needs some cinematic style and a bit better writing. There is a general need for a higher level of production and direction. There is a good horror idea here before it stumbles over a few things. Bill is too suspicious from the start and he can't be for this to work. Toby and Mika make some classic silly horror mistakes. There is some good potential here but the flaws are too much.

Watching this was like being forced to endure water torture.

Nothing new to add to the genre and adding in the blind narrative did nothing for the movie; no character development and the acting was pretty poor as well.

You know a movie si not going well when you start checking to see how long it has left to go!
