Darkest Night (2012)

I love this movie so much

the audience applauded

That was an excellent one.

Good movie but grossly overrated

Shot in the Philippines and most people speak choppy but comprehensible English. Opens with text about David and Michelle Espino, along with others, vanishing; their home found in ruins. Danny Valencia creates a documentary from the footage and he must have added the cinematic scare scene sounds.Dramatic reenactments are noted followed by a found footage deep dive. David and Michelle meet her family and drink and eat and then the lights go out. Cellphones and cars do not work. Everyone is in the dark and carrying lanterns or candles. This is shot from the creepy, autistic relative who is mute minus his heavy breathing. A synthetic dragon roars in the woods and then in the house. Lots of lantern lighten screaming at each other in the dark. Someone disappears; demonic possession + demonic possession; your favorite aunt births a demon baby that disappears.Visually interesting, but marred by poor acting and an unclear story. Which is not atypical for shi.t horror films. It does try though.

DARKEST NIGHT is a nondescript Filipino horror movie made on a tiny indie budget. I was disappointed to find out that the main cast members are American, playing an American family vacationing in the mountains. An ethnic cast would have been much more interesting and added local flavour. It's a typical haunted house effort, rather aimless in scope, and as dark and gloomy as you'd expect. Very little happens of note and the whole production has a feeling of predictability about it that makes it a bit of a chore to sit through.

Nothing to say... Sorry, waste of time and for me it's not possible to give a vote even if it was possible to give -10 it's still to much. minimum length for review is 10 lines... :-/Acting very bad, after each kill 2 minutes cry and back to the coffee table as if nothing happened.Special effect? Where were they and if they where there I think in the 70's they were a lot better!Interacting with each other... Sometimes it looks like every "actor" was talking to a green screen if every scene, per person, was made separately.Acting:- Music:- script:- camera:-

I don't know what the other reviewers are drinking or smoking, but this movie was bad, bad, bad. Don't waste your $ and your time. This is my first review and I signed up on IMDb just to warn you.It was bad directing, bad acting, bad conception, absolutely the worst found footage flic I have yet seen and, as you know, there are a lot of bad ones out there.If I were in a position to do so, I'd can this film to prevent anyone else from wasting money to see it. I cannot for the life of me understand why the other reviewers thought it was so great unless they are related to the director.
