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!

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.

I'll take into account that this was an independent film, therefore assuming there wasn't much of a budget. On the plus side, the story was pretty decent, as was the scenario the characters all found themselves in, the sense of mystery was pretty good at times, it had atmosphere.

Onth debit side, the lack of budget was the issue, the effects and sets weren't that great, and at times the acting seemed a little off somehow. Editing and lighting could have been better, that creature needed a much lower level of lighting.

For a boring Thursday afternoon it filled a void, to some degree, 5/10
