Dark Light

I don't like to give movies bad reviews - BUT this really isn't very good.

A mother and her young daughter move back into the mother's old family home. Immediately odd things begin to happen, noises and strange lights. The little girl gets taken, no one believes the mother that it's aliens.

The aliens in this movie are quite cool, I liked them. The effects are not too good and it's all a bit cliché. The acting isn't very good.

It's a watchable B movie if there's not too much else to do.

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.

Ok, this little movie here started absolutely great, amazing execution for such a production, lovely tension build up, and managed to keep up this fast pace for quite a while. But the last part, it is quite disappointing actually, perhaps there was less room for imagination and they had to settle for an ending that did not deliver, created huge plot holes and had the viewer genuinely asking, What is happening and why?

Dark Light managed to create a tiny world for itself, with its own rules, but most of it went down the drain once the third act came in place, and I can't stop wondering how things derailed so much. I am still going to recommend it for it is an effort far better than most, even tho it feels like a let down in the very end, it does deserve more attention and perhaps some praise as well.

In the future, I hope the people involved in the making of Dark Light, take some extra time in order to offer their next projects a more constant tone, till the credits show up.

Cheers!

Good movie! A refresher to the Area 51 alien myth that they ARE among us. I am not familiar with the actors of this movie, but they were decent enough to deliver. The zombie, slashers and serial killers movies are a easy find, as there are plenty. But monster and alien flicks, there is a shortage. A good watch, the sound effects and graphics were convincing....

Decent and convincing enough acting, most of the creature effects were well done in my opinion apart from the first time you see it, I just thought bloke in a rubber suit, it's not going to be something you'll remember but it's entertaining enough to keep your attention, I was wondering what the creature itself was based on most of the movie!
