Featured reviews
Darkroom is first and the only movie in Terrence O'Hara filmography. I don't really know if it's good or not 'cause this slasher flick is very average but certainly watchable if you have a few beers in your fridge. The plot is pretty basic for a slasher flick - someone is killing people in the forest area. There is no suspense and you will see only one quite good death scene (axe in the back). No gore at all, just some blood here and there. Normally I would say it's not worth to hunt down this little flick (it's actually pretty rare), but for a slasher freaks it definitely should be seen. 'Darkroom'for sure had a potential to be a good stalk and slash flick and the executive producer was Nico Mastorakis most known from his cult classic 'Island of Death' and quite good survival horror 'Zero Boys'. If you find it give it a chance. 5 out of 10.
I saw this recently for the first time and what a waste of time.
Generous with a 4 cos of the settings of that of a remote farmhouse, nestled deep in the countryside and the only neighbors is a couple and they disappear very early, making the area even more secluded.
This is a boring slasher with almost zero nudity inspite of a shower scene, clothes changing scene n a sex scene.
Wait, even the sex scene is offscreen.
The guy with the mullet hair looked like a slimmer version of Brian Thompson. He gets injured in an offscreen scene but pops up in the end as a hero.
Ther is absolutely no the character development n we dont feel anything for any victims.

A psycho-killer is on the loose at Janet Templeton's family farm.When Janet's sister is brutally murdered,her boyfriend and her family become targets of the killer's psychotic and passionate aggression."Darkroom" is a fairly routine slasher flick that offers literally nothing new for the fans of this sub-genre.The pace is painfully slow and almost all the killings are committed off-screen.The acting is bad and there is absolutely no suspense."Darkroom" was produced by Nico Mastorakis,but his sleazy and infamous "Island of Death" is much better than this piece of mediocrity.Give it only a look,if you are a collector of obscure and forgotten slasher flicks.5 out of 10 and that's being generous.
'Darkroom' is a film I'm going to forget in an instant. This is simply not memorable, or believable.
The director lacks vision, and as a result the characters are two-dimensional and the events hard to swallow. The film revolves around Janet, who visits her parents' farm. Along for the ride, is her boyfriend, Steve - a photographer.
As it turns out, someone is taking pictures of the family members, and then killing them. The acting wasn't too great, and - as mentioned - nothing here was believable. It is a B-movie to watch only if there's nothing else to watch. It serves as a who dunnit murder mystery, but just not interesting enough.
'Darkroom' is a forgettable 80's horror movie.
Would I watch it again? No.

It would be much easier to watch this bird and cicada soundtrack movie if it weren't for all the bad actors talking during the whole thing. If this review makes no sense, watch and you'll understand.
Did you know
- TriviaThe back cover of the various DVD and VHS releases as well as the film's trailer reveal the identity of the killer, thus spoiling any tension to be developed upon viewing.
- GoofsWhen Norm returned home he stood in the doorway to the kitchen wondering where Alice was when the killer attacked, however there was nowhere for the killer to hide along that wall without ever being seen. The position of the couch made it impossible for the killer to have ever been in that location.
