Michael Cudlitz's first leading role is the sole selling point of this repellent character study.

Griffith's vulnerable performance is a standout. But the film's final third seems needlessly graphic.

Rated: 2/4

"Dark Tourist" takes an effectively unpleasant trip down the lost highway of a morbid mind before its bad choices start catching up with it.

There's a decent movie somewhere in the Dark Tourist, but unfortunately it never really comes to the surface and you're left with a film that is just disappointing.

Rated: 2/4

What Culture

Disappointingly resorts to a reductive dissection of its protagonist in the third reel, but The Grief Tourist benefits from Michael Cudlitz's suitably creepy performance, and is an atmospheric, suspenseful ride.

Rated: 3/5

Degenerate, depraved psycho-sexual drama revolving around a pathetic thrill-seeker who travels with intent to visit places of tragedy or disaster.

To be honest, I expected a lot from the beginning of the film but in the end it ended up being a flat plot with flat characters and a shoddy ending that simply left me with a bad taste in my mouth The film tried to contribute many things and it contributed them all wrong.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Michael Cudlitz stars as a seemingly normal man who spends his vacation time visiting places of significant murders and tragedies. On his most recent trip to New Orleans, his sense of reality starts giving way to a terrible darkness within him. Cudlitz is very convincing in his portrayal of a character who's demons are getting the best of him. Melanie Griffith has a small supporting role as well. Decent and somewhat disturbing flick.

Horribly slow movie that had about 20 mins of good plot and definitely not a "thriller". Similar theme as the movie Kalifornia but a major fail.

A powerful central performance is detracted from somewhat by the presence of the dead serial killer, which paradoxically serves to lighten the mood. Nice tone to the film though, and a claustrophobic sense of creeping insanity.

The finale of the movie is stale and cliche but everything leading up to that point is a profound dissection of the main character.
