Protraph Lack of good storyline.

TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

boatsfra Watched this movie after one of my favorite movie reviewers remarked that it was one of the best he watched last year. I gave it a try and my goodness what a tense movie this was. I know a movie will be good when I can't recall where I have seen any actor or actress. I believe when a movie houses less well-known actors the movie seems to be that much more entertaining because they are giving their best. The plot is simple to follow and the director does a wonderful job letting you know something is about to go down but when it does it goes with a bang. I loved the movie and you could do a lot worse when looking for a well-directed and well-acted thriller. Super Dark Times indeed.

ingridnaimy This movie follows the same line of "Stranger Things", the pace, the scenery, the era, the music, there is even one actor from ST in this movie. The movie starts well, although I did not understand the very opening scene with the deer, anyways... it's good, but then from the middle until the end starts loosing it's essence and the end is soooooo lame. It leaves you with nothing... just BLARGH!!!! So boring.... what is going on with movie endings? I just wrote a review for "Hearthhob" and "The Open House", all recent Netflix ads, that starts ok or well but it ends without any consideration for it's viewers. No respect at all... just LAZY writing. I feel sorry for this movie because it has everything going to be dark and good but it is not. Just a wast of script.

jtindahouse I suppose when you title your film 'Super Dark Times' there is a bit of an onus on you to make the film reasonably dark. What starts out as quite a simple story turns into something quite major and compelling by the end. I'm definitely glad it did too because the original route the film seemed to be heading towards would not have been memorable or interesting really at all. The way they did it though made this turn out to be a very good little flick.I quite liked the chemistry between the characters. The romance angle between the characters of 'Zach' and 'Allison' was well written and the actors did a very good job of pulling it off. Amy Hargreaves' adition to the film was also a positive one. She plays a very similar character to her one in '13 Reasons Why' and she is perfectly suited to it. Finally Charlie Tahan mildly impressed me in his role. Not always an easy one to pull off but he did it well.'Super Dark Times' isn't a game-changer in any way, but it certainly achieves what it sets out to which is to tell a simple story based around some great characters and provide a wee twist of sorts near the end. It does what it sets out to well and that's all you can ask of any film.

Red_Identity If there's another 2017 film that starts off really well and continues greatness until it loses all its momentum and potential and becomes a mess in its third act, then I haven't seen it. This film is an intriguing but realistic psychological drama/thriller for its first two acts and then decides to become a genre film instead. By doing so, it loses everything that made it interesting. Maybe in retrospect and on a possible rewatch I will think the third act is fine for what it is, but it's such a shame the turn the film makes. Still, it remains a worthy effort overall, with some fine performances from its cast and some effective imagery.
