Unappealing cast - not only how they look, but who their characters are, and what they do. Terrible camera work, neutering whatever was meant to be erotic, or at least titillating. Less nudity, story and production value than in any of the late-night soft-core flicks on Cinemax or Showtime. Or one of those pulp "photography" magazines that provided cheap thrills before Hef delivered Playboy unto us.

This almost makes the 50 shades movie look good ... almost and that as we all know doesn't count. But back to this, that has a familiar story of a woman having fantasies and a sex drive that her other half apparently can't please. You need two tango and two to cheat on someone.

The games she thinks she is playing - well maybe she should have read the rules. Then again not every affair goes down south like that so fast (no pun intended and the literal going south does take a minute or two as the director states in his commentary). Elise has quite some issues - being convincing and making us really care for her is one of those. And that in the face of what she has to go through ... which is horrible no doubt

What trash has bleached my eyes? The acting is horrendous. I mean, what a pile of nonsense. People clearly get off making these sorts of films, and just think its a whizzy joke. No doubt that some will be amused, but that is just a faze honey - you'll be bored by this one. The photography, the acting, the dialogue... its all just trashy and lacks in any sense of the word 'art'.

Omg, acting beyond awful! Terrible attempt to cash in on success.! Deserves a minus 1.

Bad camera work, acting, cheesy, not erotic. Worst film I have seen for years.

This is one of those films where you don't know whether to laugh or cry. There might have been a neat, if unoriginal, film inside - unhappily married woman starts affair, is blackmailed and there's a plot twist at the end; but everything is so badly done that the end result is very poor indeed.

The script is clunky and unbelievable; the London work environment which the plot revolves around is portrayed very unrealistically; some of the acting is very poor. The sex scenes are mechanistic rather than erotic, and not nearly as revealing as the director imagines; there is hardly a drop of sweat. Then towards the end, when events turn violent, the violence is so badly filmed that it appears ridiculous. Throughout, the score makes things worse.

This film went straight to DVD/streaming - never a good sign. Best watched with a lot of drinks and crisps - if at all.

Extremely low budget film, terrible acting with a ridiculous and extremely uncomfortable and disgusting storyline.

This is actually a good film covering subjects which have come to the fore in recent times, such as controlling and abusive behaviour, revenge porn and social media. It tells of how a woman having marriage problems falls under the influence of a tall, dark, handsome stranger and slides down the slippery slope to humiliation and abuse. It should serve as a warning to anyone, especially women who are tempted by the modern trends of finding themselves and exploring their sexuality.

Becca Hirani plays Elise, the woman who finds that the grass is not necessarily greener on the other side of the fence but the real honours should go to Aaron Blake as Felix the photographer who shows a darkness that grows steadily darker - Darker Shades of Felix, maybe. His best scene though is actually on the DVD extras called Goodnight Tessa. It beggars belief that this scene never made onto the final cut. The ending for me was poorly written and weak but overall the film confirms that old adage, be careful what you wish for.

Better than the reviews and better than 50 shades darker but what I must object to is the lack of full frontal nudity from the lead we saw her nipples fleetingly compared to a proper nude sex scene from a minor cast member why do the film if you are not willing to go all in,this applies to both the script and the actors.

I love Becca Hirani and most of her work but this movie was little more than sexual abuse with a low budget. Very hard to watch start to finish despite her best acting attempt to save it.

While this film may come across as intreeging at first as this eye burner progressed i wanted to be stabbed like rick. Not only was this traumatic it was cheaply made and clearly wasted its low budget on ugly lingerie that burned my eyes and made me want to be celibate. I am dry like sand. While some perves like felix may get off on it i trueley believe whomever wrote this sickening piece cinematic trauma needs Psychiatric help and is ever so clearly been spending too much time on twitter. I trueley believe Bianca is the true villian not just because she is ginger anyway do not waste your time on this piece of filth #livelaughloverick #justiceforrick #hecandonowrong xx <3.

The film was great, scenes were epic and I don't care about how many mistakes were made during the shots or anything. These people have done an amazing job. If u want to watch some intense stuff, go for it and god the music and song choices in different scenes just perfectly suits the situation. Once again this was an amazing movie.

I watched darker shades of Elise film today on amazon prime I found the sexual scene very intense when felix who trys to manipulate Elise for love and rape and I like the scene were Bianca takes her dress has sex with a black man that scene was so raunchy were Elise looks through the window spy's on them making out that scene was so hot it had twist in the film I am glad the evil felix gets batterd with a hammer by Elise that scene was very dramatic and gory and it had great British bad language in the film I did not mind and the scene at the end were Rick and Elsie are living in country happy scene that was.

Cinematography was excellent, cast were amazing, and story was very weird and wonderful in places! I highly reccomend watching this. Darker shades meets Fatal Attraction!
