Review of The Darkest Hour (2011) by Tj W — 03 Jul 2012
I have to comment first at my reaction to the reviews on here...wow. I might be biased because I love the director's first feature, but I really enjoyed this movie. It took me a minute to get used to the alien idea, but they came across as pretty inventive because the usual alien is much more human like.
It is more frightening to me to have a villain that is a complete mystery. The acting was good, and the location was perfect for the feel. Visually I really enjoyed it. The story is simple. Honestly I wish Chris Gorak would have gotten to make another original he wrote.
Right At Your Door was epic and a much better film in my opinion. But I did enjoy this movie a lot! I have watched it two times and will end up watching it again. I am a junkie for a good sci-fi/thriller and not too many come out any more.
I am tired of zombies, vampires and comic book movies, even though I still watch them all. So all in all a creative sci-fi with a great director is a good movie to me. I hope that Timur will keep financing movies and taking risks on good film makers.
