    Solid 6 but nothing more

    Good thriller you go thrilled all the way, Some good acting some bad Good movie idea but noting new Ends without any explanation of the subject Summary, its a watchable movie, makes you wonder what will happen, so keeps your eyes attached to the screen. Solid 6..but definitely not more..

    Entertaining enough

    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

    Yawn!

    I had a hard time keeping my attention on this movie. All I could think of was the poor directing! It's the director's job to make things interesting, and this isn't.

    The story is shown is a strange manner, jumping back and forth with no rhyme nor reason. You think you've figure out some part, and it jumps to something, and someplace, else.

    And the gaps in the story, you can drive a truck through! Even the ending comes and goes without explanation.

    The main character is boring and low key throughout the entire film, like the drugs the docs at the asylum have her doped up, but, nope, that's her acting! Even her voice has no inflection. There were a few scene when she was okay, but they flashed by.

    Sorry but this really is a lousy movie with little to recommend it. And, my review is pretty jumpy, too, like the movie. Duh!

    The idea is there but poorly executed.

    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.

    Conspiracy theories aren't really horror

    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.

      When Sybil is following David's Tahoe, it's plain to see that his license plate changes significantly from one shot to the next. They aren't even from the same state.
