a small town be attack by a horde of bloodthirsty vampire . the only hope be a lone avenger and a group of ragtag survivor . release in 1993 and darkness garnered something of a cult follow upon release . it easy to see why it load ( and i mean freak load ) with gore and and it energy and enthusiasm and like that find in other no budget cult horror flick like the dead next door and the child of ravensback and be actually rather infectious . while that may be true and that sadly not enough to save it . the film be shoot on a super 8 and so the image be grainy and dark and make thing very difficult to see ( it would have be great if it have obscure the protagonist dreadful mullet . ) also grate be the soundtrack and make up of annoy casio keyboard and even more annoying death metal ( seriously and what be it with these no budget horror flick and bad death metal . ) while one isn not expect oscar worthy performance and the acting be still strictly amateur hour and a the actor sometimes seem almost confuse instead of frightened or threaten . in the end and i be sure fan of no budget gorefests will love this . everyone else though and will wish there be a little more meat on the rib .
