Dark Was the Night

A well-crafted horror pic that compensates (at least to a point) for its lack of original ideas with nice atmospherics and judicious restraint.

"Dark Was The Night" is a horror movie, a creepy and atmospheric and sometimes blood-soaked horror movie, and it's got a good amount going for it.

It's quite obvious the filmmakers didn't put a lot of thought into it and went straight for the cheapest thrills.

Dark Was The Night feels like a horror offering from the era when the genre was expected to consist of real movies that also contained scares, rather than cynical, self-referential processed product. This Dark delivers.
