Darker Than Night

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.

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.

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!

The leading actress was below average. Script is bad. Everything has a very cheap feeling to it. I wouldn't recommend seeing it

Not a bad watch really.

A trio of friends meet up at a cabin, one of which has recently been blinded. A stranger arrives, they were expecting him as the blind girl's dad had arranged that a young man would join them for the evening.

It's quite predictable in how the story progresses but the cast are good and characters likeable. Sadly there is nothing new or original but there are some funny lines that you don't expect and the baddies are good at being bad.

I didn't enjoy the ending, very predictable.
