Pitch Black (2000)
2000 | Horror, Sci-Fi
Creature feature from the year 2000, starring a then up-and-coming Vin Diesel as the anti-hero Riddick, one of the survivors (that includes Farscape's Claudia Black!) of a crashed spaceship on a planet that has a unique day/night cycle: no nights, except for an eclipse once every 22 years. Which is when the rather nasty nocturnal creatures come out...

Much better than the direct sequel (there's a reason the third film in the mid 2010s went back to this version of the character), with an interesting colour palette and even a nice character arc for Riddick!

What goes around comes around
A sequel rarely stacks up against the original but in this case, it does.
A plot almost identical to its predecessor which quickly changes saving the movie from a copy paste review.
This better take on inception (because inception sucks) adds players to its life and death game starting off at day 1.

Includes original cast and new members, with a faster pace than the 1st, happy death day 2U is a rollercoaster of fun.
If you enjoyed the 1st, you'd be outta your freaking mind to miss this.

Dark humorous tone throughout.

Fun
This semi-dark, comedic drama was better than expected. It had some decent(although at times cheesy)humor, light dramatic stories(also with their fair share of cheesiness) and good cinematography which all blended well together. The story, while somewhat predictable, played out well and was reminiscent of the old show. Of course, in true Hollywood fashion, they left it open for a possible sequel. Overall this was an entertaining movie that doesn't really expect you take it too seriously I'm not sure why it's listed as a "horror" though-NOT scary. Even the kids could enjoy it. Worth a watch.
