    Rated - 2 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    Entertaining, but predictable and pretty dull at times

    An entertaining film on the whole, which has a slow pace at times (the first 30-minutes or so somewhat drag), but has hints of The Ring & Silent Hill, and an interesting (if predictable and straight-forward) story. The movie gets better it progresses, and has an interesting but predictable & somewhat confusing twist ending. The film is short at 85-minutes, and there was the potential for something better (which was never really met), but the small cast do a good job (including Sean Bean, Monica Bello, and Maurice Roëves), and in the end the film delivered pretty much what I expected going in. The Dark is not as good as the director’s most well-known movie Ginger Snaps, but it passes 90-minutes. Not a film I would recommend watching at the cinema though, I would wait for the DVD instead.

    Boring and confusing

    Had to give this movie a chance as i am a big Sean Bean fan. I wish i hadnt bothered. Quite a good start is spoiled by a stupid, complicated plot. Couldnt have cared less about any of the characters because by the time the plot reached it's climax , I had lost interest. Silly, boring and tiring.
