A review from the other-side...
17 April 2015
Its an anthology of suspense...type stories. Maybe similar to the old twilight zone. Four stories actually. They are clever shorts and don't linger any longer than they should. Fairly original too, not a rehash of the monkey's paw or something corny like that. Unfortunately they are all too predictable, with no surprising twists. The author loosely tied the stories together in pairs. For example, the protagonist from the first story shares an elevator, and a short conversation with the protagonist from the 2nd story, but that is as closely related as each story gets.

I enjoyed each story. They are, as the title suggests: Dark, and good does not always prevail in the dark. However, there is a lesson to be learned there somewhere, as clearly all the protagonists chose their own paths. These stories make you, the viewer ask: what would you have done in the same situation. That is what makes this movie a watchable flick.

The primary actors hold their own. The supporting actors are theater grade at best. The scenes, sets, and lighting all seem appropriate for the stories and not hampered by budget. I watched it to the end and have no regrets.
