The Dark Red

To me The Dark Red wasn't that great, it's all been done before but then in a better way. It could have been better though if it wasn't that slow at times, and if they would have edited it better because to be honest there are some scenes that need a lot of editing. Some scenes are just too long or unnecessary, and that makes the story a bit boring to watch at times. I fought against sleep a couple times, and that would not happen if the story had my full attention. It's not that I was sitting at edge of my seat, not at all. The Dark Red is just an average movie not really worth your time.

The premise was good the lead actress was excellent what stops me from rating higher is the later part of the film which seemed rushed and a little predictable. The plot holes definitely spoilt it for me

When I saw this film it had a rating over 6, hence me watching it. It was a lot better than I thought, so I'm surprised to see it's current lower rating. At 1st I wasn't paying full attention, soon I had set my ipad down & put my glasses on to watch properly.

Kind of a mix of different horror/thriller tropes. Take the secretive society in Scanners, add a little bit of The Shining, throw in a bit of John Wick revenge and sprinkle a dash cynical me-too exploitation and you have this film.

That's not to say it's unwatchable, it's a lot better than many of the reviews suggest. Yes it's a slower paced movie but I didn't see this as a disadvantage, on the contrary, I thought it gave to story time to develop. However, I would agree that this film desperately needed a massive revenge gore murder spree to liven the end up.

It kind of started heading in an interesting direction, took too long to get to its destination and then kind of flopped through the door somewhat unspectacularly.

Shout-out to Tore Says for introducing this movie to her audience. Thank you!

Decipher for yourself what resonates with you and what doesn't, this is basically how it works, so much truth in this little hidden gem.
