Dark Cycle

Pointless, boring 'd' rated film! Pathetic story line that fails to deliver any interest or intrigue. I can only conclude that most of the reviews on this page were submitted by the Producers/ Directors of the film, as it really is utter dross! I had read that the soundtrack was 'amazing'. This is not the case, the soundtrack is almost non existent. Also the sound quality is very poor, with some of the dialogue being too quiet to hear at times. I would rate the film as one of the 10 worst I have ever seen and can only recommend that you pass this one by and spend the evening watching paint dry for better entertainment!

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.

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.

"Dark Cycle" is a movie that rewards patience - it's not a film that lays all its cards on the table at once, but rather builds to a satisfying climax.

I feel like I was tricked into watching this film with it's high rating. The synopsis looked promising too. When I saw the obvious poor production value from the start, I was like well maybe it does something clever with the story... I was wrong. Save yourself. It's not even the fun kind of bad. It's just bad.

The story was an incoherent hot mess, and it also just ends, with a "to be continued..." I was left feeling, what the hell did I just watch? Not much actually happens, that isn't covered by the synopsis, and honestly the acting is just awful.

It uses a lot of the bad special effects too, so it just looks a hot mess.
