Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Theo Robertson This features several story threads set around a zombie apocalypse and for a low budget zombie horror film it does succeed in having an apocalyptic tone . It's both bleak and depressing as the film paints a scenario where zombies are about to replace humanity as the dominant species of Earth . Compare the atmosphere seen here with something like AUTUMN and you'll see how well directors Blaine Cade and Jason Horton have done in making the audience feel that the end of the world is genuinely taking place . Unfortunately they shoot themselves in the foot with their screenplay The film has three story strands 1 ) Catholic priests quest to execute a 12 year old boy who they consider to be the anti-Christ responsible for the apocalypse 2 ) A vampire couple protect a young woman if she'll allow them access to some of her blood 3 ) A couple whose marriage is on the rocks due to the husband's obsession with writing horror stories The problem is that these strands often don't tie in with the central story , try to do too much or suddenly change tone . The priests trying to find the anti-Christ child who is being protected by a Lara Croft clone could have and should have been the central focus of the narrative . The other two subplots often lack explanation and logic . The young woman in the care of the vampires is not what she seems but it's never satisfactorily revealed who or what she is . Considering humanity is about to become extinct why would anyone have a motivation for writing stories since it's obvious there's no one to sell the stories to . This subplot isn't helped by the fact that there's yet another subplot going on where the computer itself is becoming a sentient being that needs energy from other living things to remain alive ! There's so many things going on the stories that it could have kept the film company going in plots for a whole decade . This means the entire film ends up becoming totally unfocused and confused which is a great pity since EDGES OF DARKNESS has a genuinely downbeat and nihilistic atmosphere rarely seen in low budget zombie horror films
zfiany I know that some will think that I gave better movies lower grades but this movie is an original zombie movie. I love Zombie movies and probably the best so far is "Dawn of the Dead". However, one should admit that this movie had originality. The movie wasn't aiming at showing a war between zombies and humans and this is a first! The war in this movie is pretty much more between the humans and their own selves as the human nature never changes even when is faced with extinction. A woman is still concerned with the issue of whether her husband still loves her or not! I mean you'd think how would a really sane woman ask her husband if he still loves her while zombies are roaming outside her windows! And the vampires part is just so smart... no zombie movie would give you that.And the most fascinating part which truly had me thinking and pleased me a lot is the anti-Christ child who says that he is fine with this world of treachery, lying and fast food while the real Christ wants this world to end! It's really genius if you just give it a thought.It's an original movie in a way... I liked it and I am sure there are others who appreciated the eccentricity of this movie.
livingdeaddude Do not be fooled by this movies brilliant DVD cover. I was in the movie store and there it was, a new zombie flick (I love zombie flicks. Can never seem to get enough of them) and on the cover was a hot female in torn clothes boots and ripped fishnets standing on a pile of rubble surrounded by zombies and she's holding a pistol down at them. The title of the movie 'Edges of Darkness' in the background behind her head with the tag line 'so many zombies, so little time' underneath. SWEET! I thought. Turned it over and the hot chick is wielding an axe and there are nothing but zombies other than her. Looked like a good and cheesy action flick. I have never been so disappointed. It starts of pretty decent. You can tell it's a low budget production, but that never bothers me. We see lots of zombies and then we get into these 3 tales that don't make any sense or have really anything to do with zombies. SPOILER ALERT. First story is a about this "warrior" woman (I think this is the girl on the DVD case as far a I can tell. If it is the photo shopped the hell out of her) helping some mother and her son. She then finds out some priest are trying to kill the boy because they think he's the anti-Christ. The second is about this computer obsessed husband who ignores his wife who talks to herself. Then the computer starts coming alive. The last one is about this couple who kidnap this woman and want to drink her blood but some unknown reason that's never found out her blood starts poisoning them. The whole movie you just want a zombie to kill all of them. No one dies from a zombie. OK, that's a lie, some random people at the beginning who have no lines do, but that's it. There are no likable characters, mashed up non-sensible plots, boring sets (seriously looked like the whole thing was shot in dorm rooms and show houses. Every room was white and empty except one room that was covered in graffiti), unfocused camera work, and a bad soundtrack. Do not waste your time or money on this movie. Watching my hands prune in a bath is more interesting
TheCrow111 The only thing this movie was missing was a plot. It was as if a bunch of horror movie writers sat around and wrote an terrible movie based off of their ideas. The movie was based off of bunch of people who all believe they are the last people on earth(which they aren't) that have nothing in common except that there are zombies outside of their house. There really wasn't anything good to say about this movie. I mean even the cactus had a name. I have never wanted a zombie to eat my brains out more than after i finished this movie. Here is a crazy question, Why didn't any zombies get killed in this movie? More mice died than zombies. However, There is a zombie apocalypse outside and you have the curtains open!
