Jessica P @SomethingPretentious Mar 17 Boring bro. I didn’t even realize the first girl was supposed to be a zombie. Just…bad plotting and storytelling. I don’t finish so…maybe it got better See more JO A @RT98136151 Feb 6 A frustrating, overly violent mess that substitutes logic for gore. The plot holes are wider than the axe wounds: we’re expected to believe this girl survived alone in a house for years while seemingly killing and eating people raw for no apparent reason. The acting feels flat, making it impossible to connect with the characters, and the 'shocking' violence feels completely unearned. If you’re looking for a survival story with actual stakes or sensible character motivations, skip this one. It’s all teeth and no brain See more Mario B @RT81794312 Jul 29 Just found this and noticed I never made a review here. Watched this in cinema back then and almost half the audience simply left during the movie. Now think about movie ticket and popcorn prices today and I think you will see just how abysmal a movie has to be for multiple people to cut their losses and rather go home. We were close to leaving too.. God, this is terrible in any conceivable way and the high critics rating are a sad testament to how out of touch with reality Hollywood and "top critics" have become.

See more Chris M @RT33153086 Jul 6 Sorry but this does not work for me. As others have pointed out the lack of sound track plays a part in the lack of tension but it is the poor and often conflicting story that proves to be the movies undoing for me. It does not attempt to warm up but stays cool and un relenting and because of this the viewing is and endurance rather than a pleasure. I really wanted it to work but for me (and a growing number) it has become the movie that had the greatest critical reviews with the most forgetful delivery. Avoid if you are a fan of horror. In infact avoid if you like movies or you may just get the wrong idea of what a great movie is.... See more Hugo S @Hugo_Shudder 03/03/2025 "The Dark" is a heartfelt coming-of-age tale presenting two characters bound by their unique friendship and childhood traumas. An undead girl murdered at the hands of her abusive father. And a blind boy kidnapped by a man that becomes a victim of the girl. The boy awakes the humanity that still remains in the flesh-eating girl, who surprisingly shows mercy and compassion to her new friend. The viewer is presented with the poignant story of two survivors healing each other from their respective traumas. See more Read all reviews
