Intrigues with an offbeat premise that it ultimately doesn't develop to fully satisfying results.

The Dark Red isn't afraid to get a little bloody, and it's all the more entertaining for it.

An inventive horror story that needs some of the informational spaces filled in, and also needs some star power in its cast. Still moviemaker Dan Bush continues to show real skill in the world of making movies.

Rated: 5/10

Shadows on the Wall

Director-cowriter Dan Bush is an assured filmmaker who carefully builds the story using darkly dramatic flashbacks before flipping everything on its head.

Rated: 3.5/5

This was a pretty good watch actually. Intriguing horror / thriller with a story which ticks along nicely, and it's well-acted. Some confronting and gory scenes, if you are into violent and gory revenge films, you should enjoy this.

No way! First off, I’m 99% sure this is a lifetime movie. I watch a movie every day and this is the worst I’ve seen in at least a year. Twist? Give me a break. Finale? A joke. New on Amazon for Halloween. Don’t do it people!

Though there are some horrific situations, The Dark Red is more of a psychological drama than a Psychological thriller or horror. That said, it is a very intriguing film. I love how the story was framed in its narrative, and how the filmmakers withheld the right balance of information that makes the viewer question whether we are seeing mental illness at play or if what is being presented is factual. It is very well acted and well directed.
