Out of the Dark (2014)

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

If you can get past the Americans with a British child.... okay.If you can make it past the complete lack of chemistry between the co-star couple.... good luck.If you even make it past the boner of a story..... I'm impressed. I know I'll never get that time back but it was on Hulu so at least it was free.

Out Of The Dark is just an average movie, nothing special about it. It's one of those movies you watch once without much interest and than you completely forget about it. The acting isn't bad though, it's just the story that is not very captivating. They could have done better with that story. And by that I mean it's supposed to be a horror movie but there is just not enough horror for my taste. Sometimes you get a bit of masked children, almost always running away, and that's about it. The filming is okay without being special. There are just not enough special effects to make it interesting. All in all it's a missed opportunity to make a better movie with this story.

A couple and their daughter move to Colombia to take over a family manufacturing plant, only to realize their new home is haunted. Out of The Dark is not a horrible film but it's not a great one either the acting is fine for the most part or just alright the problem is the children and the plot there's not threat or anything and the end felt more like you were watching a different movie than a movie with ghosts and the pacing was so boring that you had to seriously turn your brain off and it sucks cause the movie did start kinda strong but then it fall apart really quick by no means a horrible thriller but it's not great either it's just alright for a boring Sunday watch nothing more 6/10.

Maybe the lamest horror movie I've watched in 10 years. Fell flat on its face. I never include a plot synopsis as you can find that elsewhere, rather I simply rate the movie and talk about it as a good movie or bad; but there isn't much to talk about here. A promising start and decent premise gave way to clichè spooks and the same scare over and over send over and over and...... A face would appear out of nowhere in a flash of light and the same Julia Roberts-type scare scream repeated til you get tired of it. Worth your time? Only for the eternally bored, diehards of the genre, movie critics, or if there's nothing else to watch. If you don't meet those criteria, watch something else.....
