Storyline
Featured review
The Darkness is an action espionage thriller.
Any body who sees the darkness without knowing the story behind could be forgiven for thinking it is terrible. The story is a little thin and so the writer, Marc Burrage, decided to fill it out with the main character being the first succesful recipient of a brain transplant. This has nothing to do with the rest of the story. The acting is wooden at it's best and the effects are laughable. The movie is bad, but is a tremendous achievement for those involved. Nearly all involved were 16-18 years of age and the budget was a less than £500. With a only a video camera, some friends, and a computer editing system they picked up for £10 pounds in from a seedy looking salesman in some eastern country, Marc Burrage and the Bauer brothers have created a film that is highly entertaining, even if it is a little silly. The movie has a fast paced visual style that is similar in every way to that of Hollywood blockbusters. The Darkness has a fantastic soundtrack featuring music from many big artists. But the biggest achievement of The Darkness is getting recognised on this site. So despite some interesting storylines (let's face it James Bond and Mission Impossible are hardly reality driven) and some poor acting, The Darkness is an enjoyable 50 minutes for anyone who is interested in making movies on a shoestring.
