Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Brings absolutely nothing new to the table. Rated: C Jun 1, 2011 Full Review Simon Crook Empire Magazine A moody, engaging end-of-the-world horror-drama, if a bit too apocalypse-lite. Rated: 3/5 Dec 11, 2009 Full Review Nigel Floyd Time Out This thoughtful, low-key exploration of our darker survival instincts is too conventional and unfocused to fully engage our emotions. Rated: 2/5 Dec 11, 2009 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Although the film comes very close to being more than run-of-the-mill horror fodder, too much studio meddling and a shifting tone leave the result uneven. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews "Humorless B-film on a post-apocalyptic global air-borne viral pandemic that is wiping out the earth's population. Rated: C+ Jul 14, 2020 Full Review José Arce LaButaca.net A cynical and fastidious film, its carried mostly by the evolution of its protagonist quartet.

Raymond D This movie is so ass I do not recommend watching it. Pacing, certain acting, everything. Do not watch please make this move rotten. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Pasquale u It's ok. I can't really say much happens and a few loose ends aren't really seen through. Chris Pines great as always Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Isabelle No need for a big budget when your movie has a good plot! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 2.7 standard run of your mill pandemic movie Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/23 Full Review Mendel S It's a shitty movie no proper story line the characters make stupid decisions also even the good guys do some ridiculous things. There are a couple type of characters you can make someone and apocalyptic zombie movies/tv shows often have the type that's kinda a asshole and also the tough guy but usually they are really good on the inside and end up making the right decisions but in this movie the tough guy is kind of an a****** but they also try to portray him as kind of nice but he just makes decisions that make you hate him because they're just not right. And then the guy who isn't the tough guy and you think is the good guy also makes those kinds of decisions. And basically all in all people just do stupid stuff and it's just not a good movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Liam D It's a more serious and sometimes sadistic Pandemic Thriller but it has a great performance by Chris Pine (Smokin' Aces, The Finest Hours) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/02/22 Full Review Read all reviews
