Review of Against the Dark (2009) by Larry M — 11 Jun 2011
It's just a boy.
The majority of the Earth has been infected with a virus that turns people into vampires. It is highly disputed how the virus broke out, but what remains is pockets of humans that will do anything to survive. Some of the humans rely on government direction to survive while others have become hunters and scavengers that fight for the chance to return to normalcy.
"Our options were running out. It was now us against the dark.".
Richard Crudo delivers Against the Dark in his directorial debut. The storyline for this picture was a mixture of I Am Legend, Resident Evil, and Blade. I am not sure Crudo delivered any of the concepts well. The vampires were fairly cool, but the script and cast was limited. The cast includes Steven Seagal, Jenna Harrison, Danny Midwinter, Emma Catherwood, and Skye Bennett.
"People do what they need to do to survive.".
I came across this movie on Showtime while randomly flicking through the channels. I thought the premise was interesting and seeing Steven Seagal as the main character in this genre of film was more than I could pass up. Well, this movie is as bad as it sounds. Seagal seems unnatural in this film and the premise was executed poorly. Overall, I recommend skipping this picture.
"I am going hunting.".
Grade: F+.
