Broken Darkness

Clearly based/or ripping off the Metro books by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky, this low budget sci-fi has a lot of charm. For those who like post-apocalyptic action, this is a good option for a night in. Acting is very solid. Storytelling is also good quality. Lack of CGI can be a blessing in disguise for cheaper films.

This post apocalyptic indie film has a few good moments intertwined through a pretty good storyline. The beginning had a scene or two that didn't quite sit right as far as the main character's reaction to a tragedy not the acting more so the writing but after a few quick hiccups this story heads in the right direction. The acting by all the main character's were brilliant, a few side show bob's would appear from time to time but the pace of the movie was never disrupted. Although this film is set in a post apocalyptic era the landscapes provided a peaceful charm. Special effects and the cannibal mutants were decent and the videography using certain angles at the right time provided optimal suspense. The ending sufficed and you definitely get the feeling when it's over that your leaving with more then what you came with. All in all I give this film a good movie rating at 7. Do take the time to check this out if the opportunity arises.

I never expect much from movies I never ever heard of yet I decided to watch this after watching the trailer and I was delighted.

The acting is good, the story is cool the environment is nice. They manage to make a disaster movie like this with suprises, twists and a nice story.

Of course they could haver made things better, but thats not about the movie its about quality. I guess they didnt have the right budget but still manage to make a movie better than most hollywood blockbusters, cause this is good.

They used a bad camera for filming in the dark so much, the audio was bad too probably because they used a bad microphone and not Pro PRO stuff. Yet its nice to watch. The characters are acting really well, sometimes the dialogue can be somewhat slow in responses but still feels real and the emotions are really good.

I recommend this movie, well worth it. Hope they continue making solid sci fi flicks like this, kind of miss it and im glad I found this one, cause when you ahve a small budget you tend to make the best out of it with less CGI and more real stuff.

In the first few minutes of the film there are some short clips of people driving through a forest fire. At least one of the clips is from the Valley Fire in Lake County, California in 2015. If you look closely you can see a sign over the road that says "Anderson Springs". If you go look at Google maps and put in 19500 Hwy 175, Middletown, California, you can see the sign and how much of the area has not grown back yet. There is the possibility that those videos have become a part of the public domain, so there is nothing illegal about them using them, but I still don't like it. There is also the possibility that they used those videos illegally.

A very slow post apocalyptic film with a good premise but full of plot holes and bad direction. Acting and cinematography are good even though the main character is annoying as hell, and the film fails to go anywhere.

Seems like imdb has suddenly decided they want longer reviews. Well tough luck. I have nothing else to say. No one needs a full on point by point review of a film usually full of spoilers. Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala.
