i have to start out by say that the actress and actor do a fine job for what they work with . the problem in dark reality be you have a poor director who try so hard to be innovative and evocative he end up trash up the film . from start to finish you can tell the film reel quality itself be low and but the poor lightning and shaky camera only hurt it far by obscure what be go on . the sound be muffle and often time not understandable . i be sure huston ( the director ) would argue this be to induce a state of panic in the audience and but he have more than ample material in which to do it . have to result to camera and light the way he do be a sign of over the top syndrome . the story be good . a basic sadistic female kidnapper story that avoid cliché by keep the girl in a state of despair the whole time for good reason . billy bob from silence of the lamb treat his victim well than netwon . the big problem with the story be that dead people constantly harass the lead character in her mind and and by the second time they show up i be fast forwarding a this be attempt to destroy the only decent part of the film . in the end and the way the director piece it together show random blurry thing and constant barely viewable scene ( not because of horror and because of the lighting and angle and and camera ) ultimately destroy this film . huston be obviously try too hard and if anything it resemble a bad film school project . if you want to see a decent story then it all right and but be warn the film quality be enough for most to turn it off .
