The Dark Lurking Audience Reviews

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
nexus-37 NO SPOILERS (this one couldn't be spoiled anyway :D) First of all.. I didn't pay for this one, I thought this was funny etc. but I bored in middle .. graah.Nice acting, horrible dialogue, stupid plot, OK effects etc, crappy screenplay :| and some "ripley" kinda wannabe there.Well with these things this deserves 3/10 at least :D not much else to say. The could name these little 'sensible'.After all I didn't get much out of this, stupid "zombies" running around in weird plot, stupid directing, clichés and all argh. :) Didn't even laugh.3/10 from me maybe some kids like this, zombies looked like some fkn Er. whatever :D
Phatsta On the front cover of this movie there's an alien. As in the classic Alien movies with Sigourney Weaver in the lead. They also play on the "Alien vs..." concept, but there IS NO ALIENS IN THIS MOVIE. You'd make a mistake putting this movie in the same category as for example Alien vs Predator. It's nothing of the sort.Also, the cam shots are too close, the acting is B class and the smoking, ironic, smart-ass broad was really just too much... I mean, she was the most annoying person, second-guessing everyone, being an idiot - that's her character, okay. But the acting was just waaaay too much. The concept of "less is more" this woman had never heard about. Then, from out of nowhere she's suddenly dead, no clarity - nothing, she's just dead on the floor. It was like "what happened?". I chose this scene because it describes the entire movie... no clarity, bad acting and bad directing. Sorry, but it's true.
Exit_Music The story/plot is simple: Mercs and scientist are trapped inside of an underground facility while surrounded by aliens and zombie-like creatures while trying to reach the surface before it's too late. Although this formula has been done to death, this movie really stands out when it comes to the all-out action scenes. After watching movies like Starship Troopers 3, Screamers 2, DOOM (which I can't help but praise), Star Runners, The Rig, etc, I must say that this one was the most entertaining by a long shot. This is a good example of how good editing can save a bad film. The action sequences are very well done for what they had to work with and the atmosphere that the director created was very intense which added a sense of impending doom.Of course, there are a few problems with this movie but I'm sure any hardcore sci-fi fan can overlook them. In all honesty, the movie had more good than bad. Mainly, there are a few actors that I couldn't help but cringe whenever they uttered their lines. Thankfully, the action sequences and fancy editing made up for them.I watched this movie with the contrast pretty high which made the look of the film pretty good and full of atmosphere. I usually don't review movies, but after seeing the low score that this one received I couldn't help but give my p.o.v.If you're in the mood to turn off your brain and watch mercs blow creatures to kingdom come, then this movie is worth a look.6/10 but +1 point for a good effort and re-watch value.7/10
JAnders85 Total rubbish. nothing more than a poorly written, poorly acted rip off of a dozen better films- Aliens and Resident Evil being the biggest, but you get cut rate versions of Doom, Event Horizon and Evil Dead. The Necrinoicon shows up. And it's the actual Necrinoicon from the Evil Dead series, just covered in goo. The film is so boring and the characters so brain numbing that the movie feels like it goes on for a week. Next time try writing something original and interesting to go with the half way good looking sets and make up. And hire some decent actors. The Guy who's trying to rip off "Hicks" from Aliens through the whole movie is so pathetic anyone who puts him in a film should be arrested. The way he orders and pushes around well known tough guy actor Ozzie Devrish is so stupid and ridiculous. He's not a tough guy or a good actor, and making Ozzie weak by taking it from him just makes the whole film reek at another level. utter rubbish.
