SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

derbo73 This is a classical monster horror flick, showing nothing new. It was done fairly well, but it had some great flaws, too. The beginning was quite exciting, the camera shots and the characters interesting. I wondered whether this would turn into a quite good werewolf movie, when all of a sudden the story stopped to move on. The drama background of the protagonist(s) was shown for almost the rest of the movie, and not much else until the very end. I got the impression that the director would actually make better drama movies than horror movies. The acting was pretty good, but the middle part of the movie was stretched so far that I almost fell asleep. The monster had no background whatsoever, I think there was a lot of wasted potential here (NA folklore).The end comes rushed and a bit funny, the monster displayed and the CGI shots in the final scene are below average.All in all there is almost no deaths or gore involved and many scenes where the protagonist can walk around in the darkness and the oh so fast and powerful enemy is simply not attacking him.

aarminaj Seriously??? what did i just watch..?? Dark was the night is billed as a monster/ creature Horror. All we get to see is some drag screen play with countless drama and the main character played by Kevin Durrand as the Sheriff is in continuous denial that something is actually happening in his small town. The movie drags and drags from frame one itself , we are made to believe that their is some creature who lost his previous territory & comes to this new town , killing wildlife and stock. People get hysterical when all this happens and all we see and hear instead is background forest rumbling noises, countless dialogues for more than an hour and 15 mins, and when the turn to show the supposed creature comes up, gosh what did i just see, a creature with dinosaur legs and a face like godzilla!! And its not all if you manage to sit through this drag you have a climax actually taking place at a Church. Guys i cant even say sit through this cause you just wont be able to. But if someone still doesn't want to heed my sincere advice , watch it if you can. But I would say only one thing please give me back my 1hr and 40 mins. The 3 stars is for the time and effort the director and crew tried putting in this, cause i appreciate the whole process of making movies and trust me that is no joke.

JackUK1973 When you watch a lot of low budget horror you automatically lower your expectations (watching 'panic button' while writing this, and that is truly dreadful!), however I found Dark is the Night to be one of the better films I've seen recently.There's nothing new in the concept; a remote American town, monster in the woods, people and animals disappearing - in some cases without trace.The suspense and characters build nicely through the film, with odd glimpses of the monster as we go. Kevin Durand was especially good, but all the actors did a great job.The film could be better again if two things could have been addressed; firstly it's ridiculous that the monster kills pretty much whatever is in it's sights however on the more than one occasion that it encounters the sheriff and/or his deputy it runs away - especially bizarre in the scene where the sheriff stops for the dead deer in the middle of the night when he could easily have been killed.And secondly, as others have mentioned, the ending where the creature is revealed which was so bad it almost reminded me of Ray Harryhausen style stop-motion effects.If you can get past those two things though, it's a good watch (unlike this awful Panic Button film)

view_and_review A creature is terrorizing the small town of Maiden Woods. Animals are coming up missing, strange footprints and claw marks are everywhere. The town is unnerved and it's up to one stoic sheriff to keep everyone calm.The movie is more of a drama with a horror story as the occasional distraction. What did that mean? It meant witnessing Sheriff Paul (Kevin Durand) deal with the loss of his son and the painful conversations he would have with his estranged wife--then a blur of a creature. In essence they were able to maintain the mysterious and ominous entity that was upsetting the town because it was almost secondary to Paul and his issues.One could say it made the movie better and one could say it made it worse. For those looking for a scary drama, they got what they wanted. For those looking for a horror with little to no drama, they were somewhat disappointed. I, for one, was looking for a pure, unadulterated scary movie. The drama detracted from that, but because it was done well and they didn't make it too sappy and over-the-top I was able to satisfyingly watch it.
