Dark city- has myserty, science, horror, twist and turns throughout the plot.

John Murdoch awakens alone in a strange hotel to find that he is wanted for a series of brutal murders. The problem is that he can't remember whether he committed the murders or not. For one brief moment, he is convinced that he has gone completely mad. Murdoch seeks to unravel the twisted riddle of his identity. As he edges closer to solving the mystery, he stumbles upon a fiendish underworld controlled by a group of ominous beings collectively known as the Strangers.

Its a really intresting movie and will make you keep guesting until the end. With its suspense, thrills and a great cast.

Dark city is a great sci-fi horror movie, that more people should watch because it is very underrated.

Not just your average horror film
If you're expecting your run of the mill slasher/horror flick then this film won't be for you. Whilst it starts off exactly like every other cabin in the woods type film, there are a few odd bits of intrigue thrown in that make you realise it isn't just your average horror. And as far as horror goes, this isn't one for typical jump scares. In fact, this film is actually hilarious and the only real bits of horror are the copious amounts of gore and creeps towards the end. The elevator scene is by far one of my favourite scenes out of any horror, it's delightfully bonkers and horrifying.

This film is in its entirety pretty crazy and bonkers, but for the most part it doesn't matter as it does brilliantly at challenging your typical horror movie cliches and this is so fun to watch. The ending itself is possibly the only part that goes a little too far & is probably a bit too farfetched, but it is still a far more refreshing ending than what you'd get in your typical horror.

I'd love to see them make a 'choose your own' ending type game out of this film, it'd be so much fun!

Hey, I hope you don't think I ripped off your review, I literally just saw this title pop up and wrote what I came to discover was a pretty much shared love for this movies concept.

It has a certain charm for not being mainstream and an original story. (0 more)
It's very low budget so the quality isn't as good as a blockbuster (0 more)

If you're a serious horror movie buff this is a must own. There are many terrible films and this is not one of them, sure it's not great but it's not awful. Another drawback is the majority is shot in one area so it lacks movement.

Imagine knowing nothing of the outside world. From birth, all you know and have ever seen is all in one room. This book is powerful. I feel it gets most of its strength from the fact that everything is written from Jack's perspective. He is 5. If he doesn't know what something is, you don't either. Outside is completely alien to Jack. A little real life horror here.

A note about the movie: the only good parts in that movie happened in the first half hour. That movie DID NOT do justice to this book!

I found this one on Amazon. It's a haunted house style "horror" movie. The acting is pretty weak and the story is not scary or anything even remotely close to it. The cinematography is mediocre. It's about a pregnant woman who keeps having strange things happen in her new house and no one else does or believes her and they tell her she's crazy. They have one character try to explain things toward the end of the movie but it's an extremely weak explanation. Overall this movie just isn't very good. NOT worth a watch.

Great balance of horror & comedy
A bit gory. Not for the squeamish (1 more)
Premise is a bit forced.
Great way to turn the slasher genre on its head!
Pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie. While I was initially annoyed at Hollywood for trying to inject comedy into every other genre in recent years, I'll always check it out to see who does it well. This movie does. My favorite part of this movie is how often it switches perspectives. Keeps it fresh. Definitely check it out!

I watched a "horror" movie on Amazon called "Evidence". It's one of those 'home video camera' style movies. I think they make these to conver up for the bad acting and weak storytelling. At the beginning, I get it, guy is trying to film his camping trip with his friends or whatever. But later in the movie there really is no point in it being shot from the home camera. Smh. Sad part is, with a little better acting and some decent cinematography, this could have been a MUCH better movie. The 'home movie' films have gotten old. This one really ISN'T worth a watch.
