    Ok

    Seen worse but ok. Typical creature feature. I like horror and sci fi butvI also notice little nitpicks. First one is interior doors make the usual clicking noise when closed but there are no doorknob latches on any of the doors but they have to turn doorknob to open. Sheriff is a Sergeant which never happens. She would have had stars instead of stripes. As for movie itself. If bored and nothing to watch then ok.

    Entertaining But Stupid

    This movie is terribly written in all the ways that other users describe and makes no sense whatsoever. However, it is entertaining to watch. If it was not, I would not have watched it until the stupid end.

    Plot hole city

    So you have a humanoid creature with a huge flash light for an eyeball..why don't you, I dunno, stab/shoot/poke/punch said bloody eyeball!???

    I understand it's a movie but geez man the insult to intelligence is ridiculous

    Better than the ratings it got.

    First of all, let it be clear, Dark Light isn't a gem nor a masterpiece but in this genre (horror/sci-fi) it's worth a watch. There is a good tension building throughout the movie, mostly due to very good sound effects (I can't say enough how this part is essential if you want a good horror movie), a refreshing story (it's a bit different than the usual entities or monsters), some decent actors, and a completely new vilain (credits for the originality). That said you won't be blown away but it's entertaining for this genre of movies. Dark Light deserves a higher rating than it actually gets.

    Not a 10, but not a 1 either!

    I had to sign in to rate this one because I am so tired of seeing so many movies get extreme ratings on here I don't understand how so many average movies (which this one is) get rated a 1 or a 10. This movie is definitely flawed, but as horror movies go, it's not the worst. As a horror movie fan, if I wait for a true 9 or 10 to come along to watch it, I won't be watching very many movies. The fact is, most movies should be rated between 3 and 7 if we're being truthful. Save the 1s and 10s for the very few movies that deserve them!

    Darklight is the definition of an average horror movie. The creature is a bit on the fake side. But, for a low budget movie it's not too bad. The plot has some holes, but most movies do. If you like horror movies, you often have to suspend reality to enjoy them. The acting in this movie, while not perfect, is actually quite believable. All in all, it's average or slightly above average...which is good enough for a horror movie fan if you like to watch more than 1 movie per year!

    • Goofs
      When the Sheriff Dickerson and Deputy Hunt visit Walter Simm's home. The Sheriff looks through the double door's cracked glass windows from the outside. When the Deputy Hunt breaks the door open to enter the house, the door is now a solid single with no windows. You can also notice the room layout does not match with walls outside.
