From the Dark (2014)
2/10
Pointless, bad photo, bad everything
25 April 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Apart from a very few glimpses of beautiful Irish nature scenery - which is the reason I gave this movie two stars instead of one - it was completely worthless.

First of all it was difficult to even SEE anything, most of the time, because of the dark pictures, the short, quick scenes, and the shaking camera. I can understand why the picture quality must be bad and why the camera must be shaking, if it is supposed to be a "Blair Witch" type of movie, with a hand-held amateur camera being part of the idea. But that was not the case here. So WHY the bad photo..?

And then: there was no real story, no mystery to be solved, no explanation, no twist in the end. Just two people and a creature of an unidentified kind, chasing each other around in the darkness, a lot of grunting noises, sounds of blows, things bumping etc.. This would have been a bad movie even if it had been only a student project of some kind!
