In The Dark

NOT A HORROR film
This is a great thriller! Was made for TV but really stands on its own. This is by no way a HORROR movie whats so ever, so if you want a horror film this is not for you, if your looking for a thriller, this is for you.

Surprisingly Good
Don't let the jacket of this DVD mislead you. This is not a dungeon-torture flick. Most of the action takes place in an artist's lovely loft apartment and involves more realistic relationships.

It's true that this ground has been covered in many other movies, including the similarly named "Wait Until Dark." A blind woman is threatened by someone whose full intentions she cannot see. But this movie does include some uniquely chilling shots. Look at what happens to the family pictures on the artist's wall.

The first 3/4 of the film takes its time unpeeling the extent of the villain's derangement. Then the pace of the film switches to a rather abrupt realization and resolution. It's as if the directors feared they might be running out of film and wanted to cover the essential elements of the plot as quickly as possible.

Despite this final yank on the viewer's leash though, this remains a worthwhile, effective thriller. I watched several high-budget...

Purchased for a friend
I bought this movie for a friend. She is the one who really enjoyed the movie and I was happy to buy it for her.
