Gripping, heart-rending and marvellously directed
Unusual, atmospheric, intelligent and fascinating
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 directors 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.
First hour of this film is good, then the last 30mins it goes crazy. strange and does not make sense.
