Review of The Dark Power (1985) by Al M — 29 Nov 2010
The Dark Power is about as awful as a film can be: a stupid plot coupled with terrible acting, atrocious direction, and abysmal cinematography create a film that should be hard to watch. However, The Dark Power manages to overcome these massive flaws by being absolutely hilarious.
It's not always clear whether The Dark Power considers itself to be a comedy, but it certainly is. At times its commentary on racism and Native Americans seems to be blatantly racist in itself, but the film is too stupid to take seriously.
Instead, it merely becomes a complete laugh riot as one idiotic plot point after another occurs in conjunction with the bizarre, brain-dead, and nonsensical comments of the characters. A film ready-made for MST3K, The Dark Power is an excellent film to watch with buddies and a case of beer.
