Marked by a premise that you need to read twice to make sure you haven’t hallucinated it, the dazzling, silly Darla in Space is everything that indie film does best.

For those willing to embrace the fundamental absurdity of its designs, the film offers the kind of surprising viewing experience that is all too rare in the current cinematic landscape.

A mildly engaging, harmless and silly slice of mindless entertainment.

Quintessential indie filmmaking. Laplante and Moon are a creative powerhouse. A dynamic duo, if you will, of strange and resourceful ideas.

Rated: 6/10

Film Threat

The sense of magic permeates every kooky scene. Its splendidly deranged misadventures are an absolute delight.

Darla in Space is honestly one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. It feels like something that was dreamt up by people who were high or completely disconnected from reality when writing it. The story itself is ridiculous. Darla Peterson is a strange woman who sells “kitty caskets”—yes, coffins for cats—and then somehow finds this bizarre creature that looks like a piece of pita bread. She starts convincing people to touch it, and it has sex with them, putting them into a kind of sexual coma. It’s a horrendous premise played by a weak lead actor, and the monster itself is just awful — a literal pita-like alien with bizarre powers. Who came up with this story? Who thought it would be fun or entertaining to watch? It honestly feels more like a bad joke than a film. “Darla in Space” is, without a doubt, one of the worst movies I’ve ever come across. It’s a perfect example of a film that should have stayed a wild thought instead of making it all the way to the screen.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
