Pretty Good
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
A couple and their daughter move to Colombia to take over a family manufacturing plant, only to realize their new home is haunted. Out of The Dark is not a horrible film but it's not a great one either the acting is fine for the most part or just alright the problem is the children and the plot there's not threat or anything and the end felt more like you were watching a different movie than a movie with ghosts and the pacing was so boring that you had to seriously turn your brain off and it sucks cause the movie did start kinda strong but then it fall apart really quick by no means a horrible thriller but it's not great either it's just alright for a boring Sunday watch nothing more 6/10.
This story takes place nearly twenty years prior where several children fell sick due to mercury poisoning from a specific company. A doctor is hired to try and cure them, but instead he fails to do so and the children do not make it. Further, business decisions are made so as to cover it up – the families involved are never notified, nor are they informed of why their children died.Years later a new family moves into the area – namely near a jungle. Their daughter starts to show odd behaviors and symptoms at first thought to be caused by a strain of the flu; portrayed to the viewer they look as if she is possessed. The parents, especially the mother feel that something more specific and peculiar is up. They do some investigating and get to the bottom of it – mercury poisoning. They confront the doctor involved, and as it turns out it was his father that was the doctor that tried to fix things – only he is dead.As the plot further unfolds; their daughter is further possessed and finally finds her way into an underground labyrinth. The family, and presumably the doctor's father are all there. The doctor's father becomes possessed by the haunted spirits of the children from twenty years ago as he tries to save the new family's daughter. The family steps in to mourn their presumably dead daughter; whom in movie theatrics actually snaps out of it.The movie seems like something out of "Children of the Corn" and the "Exorcist" where young children and a young girl are possessed by seemingly paranormal and supernatural causes; only as in the case of the latter film, it is revealed to be less supernatural with an actual reason – poisoning from external events – only it turns out supernatural causes are involved anyway.The film reminds me of something out of the 90s where families in distress were more of a commonality. The film is more of a weekend filler in my eyes and not much praise beyond that.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=9634).
Out of the Dark is a North American-Colombian-Spanish co- production with some moderately famous actors in order to make it more attractive for an international market. But in fact, it's an awful horror film made with a frustrating listlessness, hoping the beautiful natural settings and regional folklore to convince us we are watching something new-flanged, or at least, entertaining. Needless to say, it wasn't like that. The excessive number of clichés and bland characters are what mainly extinguish any tension the film could have generated, and induce to the boredom while we witness tedious supernatural manifestations such as dark silhouettes, ghostly prints and doors which are opened and closed by themselves. All that, of course, is accompanied by exaggerated musical stresses to simulate the fact that the story is advancing. The supernatural part of the screenplay includes the typical vindictive ghosts who want to rectify an offense from the past; and I don't think revealing that is a SPOILER, because it's shown to us during the first minutes in a prologue which already establishes the insipid tone of the film and the lameness of the "shocks" with which it pretends to horrify us. As for the actors, they do whatever they can in their badly written roles; they were obviously hired only for the poster to include some semi- famous names. On the other hand, I can't blame Julia Stiles, Scott Speedman and Stephen Rea for accepting a paid vacation in a beautiful Colombian region. In conclusion, Out of the Dark is a pathetic horror film and an authentic waste of time. The fact that this piece of junk was released on cinemas at my country truly made me angry. It's like the film industry has lost any interest in satisfying the audience. That's the only thing which scared me while I was watching Out of the Dark.
Having recently gone through a slew of paranormal movies (including THE RING, SINISTER, UNFRIENDED, ALWAYS WATCHING, and THE CONJURING) I heard about this film. So I shrugged and gave it a shot. Story-wise, it's pretty good. Not entirely original, but still eerie. The problem with OUT OF THE DARK is... just read on. THE STORY: An American couple, Sarah & Paul, (played by the wonderful Julia Stiles and a bland Scott Speedman) along with Hannah (Pixie Davies) their British-accented daughter(?) travel to Colombia. Once there, Sarah takes a job at her father's paper mill. As strangers in a foreign land, they soon learn of the odd customs that their neighbors have. And along the way, they learn about the shocking history surrounding the disappearance and death of several children. Before you know it, the family starts to see weird shadowy figures in bandages and have all sorts of paranormal events. Things get even worse when their own daughter gets kidnapped by these ghostly apparitions. And it's about then that everything starts to fall apart. Instead of doing the smart thing, like call the cops or even attempting to speak in Spanish, Sarah and Paul frantically barge and stomp around town, blabbering in English (which the locals obviously don't understand), until finally learning the truth behind the ghosts. Like I said already, it's a good story. But, the film needs to be ratcheted up in some way. Either there have to be more scares, or there's gotta be more of a sense of dread and doom. Honestly, if the film were more tightly edited, (maybe if the parents were written to be a little more effective) it would be a better movie. But as it is, you can take it or leave it.
