marianaramos-13848 It really disappointed me, the first half is so promising but then... The kid turns into a psycho after the accident?? And the conversation with blood on the face? Oh Lord...
desperadovii Nice colors and Owen Campbell is lovely, but it's clear that they got rid of whoever was smart enough to write the beginning of the movie, and the rest was written by a committee of hacks. You can just hear it: "we can't have a heretofore decent character turn into a psycho are start hacking people up halfway thru the picture!" "You wanna bet?" It really pisses you off - this is my time being so pissed I wrote a review. It feels like good people worked hard but the result is unwatchable.
boatsfra Watched this movie after one of my favorite movie reviewers remarked that it was one of the best he watched last year. I gave it a try and my goodness what a tense movie this was. I know a movie will be good when I can't recall where I have seen any actor or actress. I believe when a movie houses less well-known actors the movie seems to be that much more entertaining because they are giving their best. The plot is simple to follow and the director does a wonderful job letting you know something is about to go down but when it does it goes with a bang. I loved the movie and you could do a lot worse when looking for a well-directed and well-acted thriller. Super Dark Times indeed.
Red_Identity If there's another 2017 film that starts off really well and continues greatness until it loses all its momentum and potential and becomes a mess in its third act, then I haven't seen it. This film is an intriguing but realistic psychological drama/thriller for its first two acts and then decides to become a genre film instead. By doing so, it loses everything that made it interesting. Maybe in retrospect and on a possible rewatch I will think the third act is fine for what it is, but it's such a shame the turn the film makes. Still, it remains a worthy effort overall, with some fine performances from its cast and some effective imagery.
