Review of And Soon the Darkness (2010) by Phil N — 11 Feb 2011

Another backpackers in peril movie, this time itâ(TM)s two pretty young girls travelling through Argentina. Having missed their bus, the two have an argument and split up â" Ellie (Yustman) disappears and Steph (Heard) tries desperately to find her before nightfall with the help of the local police and another foreigner (Urban) who may or may not be a bit dodgy.

Itâ(TM)s actually a remake of a 1970 thriller, but itâ(TM)s fairly predicatable stuff and it never really builds the requisite tension it should. Some nice eye candy makes it watchable if ultimately forgettable genre fare.
