Review of The Dark Backward (1991) by Drlowdon — 24 Dec 2020
When scientist Peyton Westlake is attacked by gangsters and horribly burnt, he uses the synthetic skin he has developed to take on the appearance of others in order to gain revenge. Sam Raimi brings his usual exaggerated style to Darkman, but this is a movie that never seems to get out of B-Movie territory.
It’s not without it’s merits, and fans of Raimi’s previous work (such as The Evil Dead) will likely find plenty to enjoy, but it just doesn’t quite come together successfully.
