It has rarely happened to me that I find films too orchestrated. Too structured. With a huge lack of naturalness and fluidity. Dark Mountain seems to have been written by someone specialized in literary stories, but not in the film industry. The story can be entertaining, consistent, and even with humor and action, but the actors seem like mannequins. They don't move or speak like natural people and in the end it is such a noticeable detail that it is annoying.
The film had the potential to be a great thriller, but added to this were the unnecessarily dark photography and a couple of small errors in editing.
Let's also say it's not a disaster. The direction does its best with the few resources at hand and the actors are not necessarily amateurs.
Dark Mountain caught my attention, but Dark Mountain distracted me from itself. Good climax, at least.
Recommended with the warning that it will not be the best 1944 you will ever see in your life.
