My Review Of “Out Of The Dark”
The story is one that has been seen before in similar films to “Out Of The Dark” with a family moving to a new place but unfortunately pick one cursed by a tragic past, and lingering paranormal influence. Quilez’s story is a good one though, framing this construct in a beautiful, subtropical location, disturbing historical area steeped in superstition and legend. Plus he gives us a clear message of cruelties brought about by foreign companies exploitation of almost “third world” regions for profit, all wrapped nicely in a chilling supernatural thriller with some vengeful spirits.“Out Of The Dark” does have some pretty cool make-up artistry and special effects. It is a mix of semi-gory practical design and expected CGI ghost-y stuff. Although instead of feeling redundant, the CGI in “Out Of The Dark” is creative and at times beautiful in its cinematography. The atmosphere is a blend of warming with the family taking in the beauty of their new home, and the darker, chilling aspects of past tragedy, a cursed people, and a family hunted by angry spirits. The soundtrack is equally intense and eerie. Plus there are moments when the quick shock gimmicks actually scared me a bit.
Overall “Out Of The Dark” is a nicely produced, creative thriller with a lot of suspense and drama. The cast give acceptable performances and the characters are developed nicely, the native Colombians more so than the family. The ghost children are haunting and creepy. On the down side though it becomes too clear too early in the story as to the true nature of “Out Of The Dark” so some of the thrill and suspense does get lost during the final 3rd of the film. The ending feels a bit drawn out and unnecessary at the very end, not in the actually story aspects but more the visual- conceptual stuff used at the end. It could have used less theatrics and been more effective. Anyway “Out Of The Dark” is a cool, entertaining story with a more mature narrative that shows some real heart.
Julia, you deserve a better Horror film!
As a Horror fan, the ghost-story and haunting sub-genre has always been my favourite. As a general cinema fan, Julia Stiles has been one of my favourite actresses since 10 Things I hate About You. And then we have the privilege of a child actress taking her first steps in what might become a long and successful career! What could possibly go wrong? The answer is everything else.Yes, the acting is decent, though I would really like to see Stiles starring as a main character in a Horror film. When your favourite actors aren’t usually taking part in films from your favourite genre, it’s frustrating at times. Yes, little Pixie Davies is everything a passive child victim is cut out to be in such films – innocent, adorable and helpless. Here ends anything really positive I have to say.
While I can’t think of an example for this story being used before, it doesn’t feel original or innovative, and doesn’t really keep you on edge guessing till the end. The ghosts are simply not scary. The “jump scares” are predictable and ineffective, and that’s really saying something, since as we all know well thought off and finely designed jump=scares work even when you’re expecting them (how could a film mess up the cheapest horror trick of the 21st century?). I actually found myself bored towards the second half of the film. Me? Bored in a horror film? Never happens. Honestly. Never.
I can’t stress how much I wanted to be able to give a good review. Getting Julia Stiles in a ghost-story was a dream come true. But the dream turned into a nightmare, and not in a good horror kind of way. I’m painfully disappointed. Then again, my disappointment is probably due to my high expectations. If you watch this with no expectations whatsoever – you will probably enjoy it. It’s good for a few scares, especially for people who aren’t usual horror viewers. But personally and subjectively – ugh, what a let down…
