Dark Country (2009)
2/10
Awful Little Movie
7 October 2009
One of the worst movies I've seen in quite some time. It's like a trippy, supernatural film noir.

The director (Jane) decides to go ultra-stylized here, trying to capture the style of those old noir films. It comes off extremely cheap looking, annoying, and distracting. In fact, I'm still a little confused about the tone of the film. I thought it was a really unfunny comedy most of the way through it. (That's how bad it is.) But when I read some other comments here, I guess it wasn't supposed to be a comedy...I don't know. Just horrible.

The story is nothing original. Mix in a little Lost Highway, Rest Stop, and Wind Chill. Add it to a 50's noir film, and this is what you get. Only this is much crappier than the above films, and they were pretty crappy.

The ending here is really confusing, in a bad way.

Ugh. I just finished watching this and I'm still so upset I can't articulate everything that's wrong with this pile of garbage. Just skip it.
