Replete with superior acting and visual splendor, the film is a fine instance of the overly familiar made fresh. Go to Full Review

Barker's screenplay demonstrates a conviction that its genre can command great importance, allowing it to transcend the easy shocks associated with the exploitation movie experience and create an entirely fresh rhythm. Go to Full Review
Scott Weinberg TheHorrorShow 08/24/2015
It's actually got a novel idea, a handful of legitimately creepy moments, and an admirable sense of Twilight Zone-style madness Go to Full Review
Mike Scott Times-Picayune 08/12/2011
2.5/4
An icy and humorless -- but entirely suspenseful -- film that works mostly because of its unpredictability. Go to Full Review
Matthew Nestel Boxoffice Magazine 07/22/2011
3.5/5
Daylight is a caper full of lechery and unforced twists with strong characters and no pretense. Go to Full Review

04/10/2013 This director has potential. A decent storyline, lots of suspense, and great character development. However, your audience needs to have "take away", i.e. there must be some resolution in the movie, it can't just end. That's not a "new idea in movies", it's part of telling a story since time eternal. Work on it. See more 08/22/2012 I struggled to empathize with the characters and story line. It was a little slow pace and I didn't see the connection that was building between the scenes. Eh. See more 07/27/2012 Husband's Character should have been developed more into the movie. Other than that it was very good. See more 05/15/2012 I saw Daylight a couple months ago. For me, it is a great psychological thriller movie. See more 04/16/2012 A yawn of a movie that does nothing special with this always promising premise. The Stallone "Daylight" movie is more entertaining. See more 04/10/2012 Starts as potentially interesting but devolves into cliche at the halfway point. See more Read all reviews
