Katelyn Nelson Daily Grindhouse 08/04/2024
Audiences should proceed with a bit of caution, perhaps, as it is done so effectively as to be potentially triggering to some, but it is also a testament to the strength of Berkley Brady’s ability that such a powerful and immersive work is her debut...

Clocking in at less than 90 minutes, Dark Nature never feels rushed. Though certain aspects may come across as underdeveloped at times (namely some of the women’s backstories), the story is held together by a strong female ensemble. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 05/20/2023

...a completely misguided endeavor that might’ve fared better as a short film (but even that seems unlikely). Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 05/20/2023

I was too bored by its shallow search for answers to care what happens. Go to Full Review Marie Saadeh Exclaim! 05/18/2023

Though the film shows some promise for Brady's future work, Dark Nature's attempts to make an affecting exploration of trauma — or at the very least give us a good scare — leave much to be desired. Go to Full Review Daniel Gorman In Review Online 08/06/2022
It’s an agreeable enough thriller that has unwisely cribbed from a beloved modern genre staple and simply can’t measure up to its predecessor. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Paul H @RT49651459 Dec 3 OMG, this was really, really bad. Should have been on LifeTime TV. From plot line, to character development, cinematography, etc- simply awful. How RT gave it a 72% is beyond me. Don’t waste your time! See more Pinoy Short R @emill_santos Jul 24 Sayang oras. Parang cheap rip off ng The Descent. Puro daldalan. Mga 20 mins lang siguro un horror, action See more Jeffrey P @vanillavoodoo1 08/25/2024 Feels like a rip-off of Annihilation , only with far less substance, less sharpness, and less detail. The mystery and suspense are okay for what it is, but too vague with an ending that does not explain. See more Dinos K @RT17774489 05/17/2024 very good movie with great plot and perfect performances See more Levi R @RT23602680 01/04/2024 (Spoiler) Guy shoots the dog within the first 5 minutes. Sorry but if you have to shoot a dog to establish "bad guy" then you as a writer and director are doing a bad job. See more dave d @RT34924333 11/30/2023 This is one of those horror features that has bad acting and makes no sense. It is up it's own behind so far it's better than horrible, but only in an embarrassing way. What is this monster? Is it real? Why would anyone hike with strangers into places like this? Why was this film made? More shallow than an empty kiddy pool, there is very little coherence. It is not a good film. Final Score: 1.6/10 See more Read all reviews
