They dare not abandon the crumbling complex as it is the only security from the enemy that awaits them outside. Living in a constant state of fear, they face the fact that food supplies and ammunitions are running out, giving them no choice but to leave the secure area. Together they start their quest for survival, facing an enemy that is stronger then expected, with a power that can destroy all mankind.

Unexpectedly Excellent
When you've seen more than three horror movies you pretty much know what to expect: protagonists in a deserted hotel/town/house come up against ghosts/zombies/vampires and have to hide and run until the daylight/ghostbusters/their inner strength save them. On the surface 'The Dark Hour' appears to be much the same but in reality this is one of the scarier and more original horror movies to be seen for some time.
Our protagonists are survivors from a war that has waged on earth, decimating the population and making the surface impossible to live on. In their bunker they must survive on dwindling rations and try to maintain some form of normality, especially for the only two children remaining. But this is made all the more difficult with the presence of 'Invisibles', ghost like creatures that visit their corridors every few nights, and 'Strangers', who lurk in the restricted areas, and just by touching you can turn you into one of their zombie hoard.
What puts this film head and shoulders over so many horror flicks are the characters and their reactions to the terrifying world around them. Indeed, you begin to question who is scarier - the 'Strangers' outside the 'safe zone' or the increasingly disturbed individuals inside it. Combined with surprisingly high production values, 'The Dark Hour' easily rivals Hollywood horror movies and provides a chilling, intelligent alternative to the mainstream. -
