MikesIDhasbeentaken There is a good storyline here, somewhere. The problem is this movie really goes out of it's way to cover it up, Nothing in this movie makes sense, did 5 different writers make this and not consult each other? the holes are just stupid, and the hole time it tries to build up to a climax is just embarrassing, If your like me that found the premise of the movie good enough to watch and ignore the reviews.. don't.. it really is that bad and not worth a watch in any circumstance.

tr5-1 What can be dumber than "evil russians" in western movies? Answer is "evil serbs" in western movies. And you now what, in this awful cheap propaganda crap you have both. So many years passed since nato destroy great country Yugoslavia, and they still make this deceitful nonsense.

poxolokiyo Interesting twists, good pace, great acting and beautiful cinematography.

Jean Bal At the beginning, In Darkness plays like a good thriller centered on a blind musician who witnesses an horrible crime (with her ears) and then lives in a permanent paranoïa. Natalie acts - reasonnably - well. The director knows his jobs. Fine. And then things begin to unravel. Deeply. The plot turns to farce. Useless violent scenes are followed by useless dialogues. Just an example: would you torture a woman in van driving on a road, after kidnapping in a crowded street? Would you do that or, first, ask to give you what you want? Non, overkill, of course. Don't you think you could have met your victim, at night, in her appartment, without risking to be arrested by the police? Oh my... And that is far from being the sole inconsistency of this mediocre scenario. The worst being the so called BIG FINAL TWIST (Night Shyamala get out of this picture!) Silly. Meaningless. Laughable. You're left exhausted and bewildered by a big big mess. The scanrio has been co-written by Miss Dormer, and I guess she has managed to have some big melodramatic scenes, like actors competing for the Academy Awards like to play. Well, when a melodramatic scene makes no sense whatsoever and destroys the credibility of your character, you could do better without. Why a "5" note? Because of the photography, the level of acting and the idea at the start. I would give a much lower note to the script alone.
