Dark Was the Night

Great movie, solid acting and special effects

THE ACTORS WERE GOOD, A LITTLE ON THE -THIS IS A SAD MOOD MOVIE SIDE--WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN BETTER IF THE CREATURE HAD BEEN BIGFOOT, INSTEAD OF THE OTHER. STILL IT WAS DONE VERY WELL AND WITH A GOOD CAST.

Dark Was The Night is a horror movie that is done right!The acting is very good to excellent throughout the film.I found myself rooting for all the main actors to survive unlike most horror movies when you can't wait for them all to be killed off and the movie to end.The script is well written for the most part.I would have liked some parts of the story to be expanded upon and explained in depth a little bit more.The creature was cool looking but I needed a better explanation of what it really was and where it originated from.The ending will either be liked or disliked by everyone.I am on the fence about the ending.I need to rewatch the movie once more to fully decide my final thoughts about that.Overall,this movie is worth a watch and may be deserving of a sequel with the same characters reprising their original roles.

Kevin Durand is an underrated actor. His first role playing a human Lol - Look him up and you’ll see what I mean! Small town Sheriff and weird stuff starts happening with the animals. Deputy is someone you’ll know. I really enjoyed this movie-have to like creature features though and if you do, you will.

This is an independent horror film featuring a monster that relies on an intelligent script, multi-dimensional characters, several good back stories and a mysterious monster that is never fully seen until the end. This adds up to a solid monster flick that clicks. After loggers invade the woods north of the small town, Maiden Woods and disturb legendary monsters, the twon is beset with killings of animals and people. Kevin Durand stars as the emotionally-troubled and grieving (over his oldest son) Sheriff Paul Shields and leader of the community aided by Donny Saunders, his NYC refugee and deputy, played by Lukas Haas. This has elements of several 1950s monster movies and a good thriller. This is a movie for serious fans of intelligent horror and thrills. I rank this as a winner.

Awesome creature feature, good acting, good suspense... This movie is a little bit of a slow burn, but I personally like that and feel like it adds to the suspense. Only complaint is that the creature reveal did have some somewhat cheap-ish C.G. not god awful, but certainly could've been a little better. Still loved it though and highly recommend it.

I enjoyed this film very much. I thought the story was well written and the back stories of the characters was compelling enough to make me sympathetic and want them to live to the end of the film. So often in horror films this is not the case and you can't wait for the creature to mangle them. Kevin Durand is a favorite actor of mine and did a great job as did Lukas Haas. Lots of suspense and creepy moments even though what you see is fleeting till near the end. Still what you hear in the forest in the dead of night kept me edgy. Just watched The Witch and 10 Cloverfield Lane last week and I liked this film more. It's a keeper for me and I will watch it again.

This was an amazing movie! I really liked all the main people. Most the time when main characters are having marital problems, one of them is a jerk, but amazingly, this movie didn't rely on that to force an emotional response (which I think is a cheap way to make you feel stronger for a character). Anyway, the acting was really good. REALLY good. I really liked the hero. The monster, I hate to say it, was really terrifying, until you see it. I don't think it looks much like the glimpses you see through the rest of the movie, but oh well.On a side note, for horror gamers: There were aspects of this show that really reminded me of the FEEL of Silent Hill - and I really liked that!

very good movie

Amazing movie
