*slightly spoilerish*
Low-key Aussie import is unlikely to emerge as anyone's all-time favorite film, but considering its very apparent tight-fisted funding, PLUNGE INTO DARKNESS is a fairly commensurate product. The central characters are a group of happy-go-lucky thirtysomethings taking holiday in 'terra incognita' when, by mere chance, they find themselves beleaguered by a couple of loutish prison escapees, and a criminally unbalanced child as well!
As ultimately inconsequential as it is, PLUNGE INTO DARKNESS remains a thoroughly watchable and casually enjoyable entry-level endeavor which could possibly have benefited from a less optimistic conclusion to synchronize with the film's overall downbeat tone. this is a dismissable gripe, however, for an unexpectedly entertaining third-string picture.
5/10
