Watch Edges of Darkness For Free

Admirable film.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

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

I AM EMBARRASSED THAT I RENTED THIS!Here is the spoiler: this movie is already spoiled rotten and smells of hamster filth and elderberries. Zombies. Vampires. Cyborg computer chip. That's the plot, and whatever they made up for each scene. If this movie had a plot it would be a film. But it's a home movie that some how made it to a video rental place. Someone ate the script and defecated this into the actors mouths, and then, gave a retard Adobe After Effect to do the very "special" effects.This tops my "Worst Movie Ever" award. I love zombie movies, even terrible ones. No amount of zombies can save this movie from my utter hatred of it. It has theater drop-out actors, home movie special effects, and an abyss of lack of plot or substance. This movie reeked of "I made this for the fun of making a movie" so the audience response is "I watched this as a form of sadomasochism."This coming from someone who loves B-Movies, and will normally lend a nice comment to someone's home movie, this movie deserves the black chasm of filth. The amateur directors should go back to film school, the actors should go back to high school and take a few drama classes, and the special effects wizards are really..."special"... like the special bus.I gave this a 1 star because even a fan of horror and zombies (like myself) hates it. I recommend forcing people you don't like watch it, and then enjoy their terrible response. If you need to break up with your girlfriend, watch this movie with them. If you want to test your mettle in some sick fashion... you get the drift.Question... if you force terrorist to watch this, is it worse than water boarding? Just a thought.

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

Edges of Darkness is quite the odd duck. It features a variety of stories regarding characters during a zombie apocalypse. Two African American vampires chose the wrong girl as their next blood source for she's seemingly a junkie who is "contaminated". A married couple deal with boredom in their own way, the husband, an addict on his computer writing stories while the missus, ignored and depressed has fantasies involving a zombie pal she engages in small talk and dance..what the computer nerd doesn't realize is that the new word processor he installed has a life of it's own and seeks a power source, preferably from a human! A Lara Croft kind of female warrior aids a black kid who could be The Anti-Christ as he is being pursued by sadistic priests, soon becoming a sort-of protector. Each story alternates as the undead scour the earth outside the buildings where the movie is set.Rather ambitious despite the obvious limited resources, the movie tosses around a lot of ideas, none of which I felt ever quite hit the bullseye. Sometimes you bite off more than you can chew when taking on the challenge of incorporating your horror film with so many stories with only so much time to present each one. I admire the task of including such a variety of genres: zombie, vampire, religious, and the Cronenbergian aspect of flesh and technology fusing in an unusual way. The camera work and equipment used for the film is as mediocre as some of the special effects and acting. I credit the effort, the attempt even if it was a misfire. That said, Michelle Rose, as the Tomb Raider modeled heroine, is sure striking as the femme warrior, and the vampire tale has a rather funny punchline regarding what junk blood can do to the bloodsucker. The zombie plague remains a focus of conversation in all stories, although the actual carnage by the undead is lacking, probably, again, due to the budget. The filmmakers never allow any of their stories to lag too long, and there's plenty of quirky humor on display. Ultimately, the film felt as if it ends the way it does due to running out of cash(..particularly the religious parable regarding the female warrior and her possible Anti-Christ child, which has a lot of potential, rather untapped, ending rather abruptly, not particularly satisfying since it seems this was simply too much for merely a segment in a movie featuring other stories).
