Review of Darklight

Darklight (2004 TV Movie)
6/10
A Credible Horror, Superhero Movie
13 January 2019
18 May 2016. While this isn't a super blockbuster superhero movie, there is a fascinating, if not totally successful fusion of horror, fantasy, science fiction, and medical catastrophe in the storyline. While nothing original occurs in this movie, the blend of genres makes this movie more attractive.

The typical unsuspecting ordinary, but good looking innocent girl finds herself with a blank past and enters into the typical absolute good and evil scenario. The twist of the girl's background however and the primary guardian's moral dilemma bring some nice nuances to the typical, average horror, fantasy presentation.

The storyline is consistent, the acting decent...the movie is able to offer more than average. Nevertheless, the contagion subplot and its treatment isn't completely satisfying. And the twists are what usually are found in most typical occult, horror, suspense movies.

This movie is worth a look, if one isn't expecting a top 100 movie.
