Extremely generic "lost in the woods" movie. Full of completely nonsensical situations and decisions. The monster was a pathetic showing, would have been better to get the crappy SiFi CGI than use the $5 costume they slapped together. And not only was everything very stupid all the way through, but the movie just ends abruptly too, with no real conclusion (though it's safe to assume everyone dies because everyone is an idiot).

WTF did I just watch? No plot at all. Not scary in the slightest. Terrible acting. Two women get "lost in the woods" for no reason at all. Then there was a hilarious "monster" doing Edward Scissorhands on some random victim's guts. The "monsters" back in the 1960s B-movies were more realistic. This just looked like a cheap suit and some slime. It literally made me laugh, and not in a good way. Did I mention that along with no plot, no story, no character development, there was also no ending at all? The movie just abruptly ends like they ran out of money. Avoid at all cost.

Waste of rental money. Tedious. Lacking in any atmosphere or tension. Poor acting. Ist year film school project but with bigger budget?

Five minutes into this movie and I was already hoping for a slow and painful death for the younger sister. Talk about BRAT! The older sister seemed to be intelligent, until she ends up driving in a "road" that is all a pile of dirt, that couldn't possibly be a real road to anywhere in the planet. Of course they get a flat tire??? How? Last I heard mud is not that sharp. To be honest, I decided to read reviews, glad I did. Younger sister vomiting on her older sister, (she didn't want to vomit on the floor???), is what I felt of doing although I don't have a sister. Needless to say, I was not about to continue with this waste of time.

I was really excited to watch this and don't mind bad effects at all, however it's utter rubbish!

Takes ages to get going, dull and worst of all a lazy cut to black ending with no resolution to the story.

One to a miss. 👎🏻

....that perhaps the 'director' could possibly turn this garbage into a franchise.

The acting was diabolical and the script was just people wandering about talking about stuff. First at a party and then in the woods. I have to admit I did not really know why they were in the woods as I fast forwarded a bit as I could not stand the sound of their voices.

The horror component was laughable. I mean truly laughable. If you have seen The Horror On Party Beach you will have an idea how badly people can make movies. This was a quantum leap backwards from HOPB. A drunken chimp on acid could make a better movie.

This has to be one of the worst films ever made. Terrible use of language and so amateurish. What a cheek to actually charge people for watching this garbage. Refunds should be given to all buyers.

Films like these walk a fine line. You've seen it countless times before but if it's interesting and believable then you watch it again, and this one is. Old story, two girls stranded in woods with a crap creature, but these two make reasonably sensible decisions and give the impression they'll hold their own against Old Slowpoke, with his bigass rubbery hands, salivating jaws, wristwatch and permed hair. OK he's not that bad but the budget obviously isn't Hollywood. That doesn't matter though, creatures are scarier when you can't see them but know they're coming, especially crap creatures, give this a go, you'll like it.

This movie is the main reason why b-rated movies suck and big blockbuster movies are better. You get one out of 100 b-rated horror movies that are good every year and yet people flock to them.

The acting in this movie was just atrocious. Seriously how did these people get acting jobs. The movie takes forever to get going and then the end is just awful. People avoid this movie at all costs.

Seriously...Is the worst movie I've watched so far😤😤. Who the h£ll directed this movie. So what went through their minds after watching it themselves. For this kind of movie, I bet anyone can direct 🚶🚶

Some potential with no delivery. Took forever to get to path. Took forever for cheap antagonist to be revealed. Worst inconclusive ending ever.

Not dull or scary. Two.leads do.ok...well.acted. It's a so so movie.

That there was no way that it could remain this boring. I was wrong. Do not waste your time.

Mediocre idea of a film that was fairly acted. But nothing special. Ultimately a creature feature that was too low budget. And the plotting wasn't flushed out well. Add an abrupt ending for no conclusion, this film falters majorly. A couple extra stars went for the lead actresses.

The second half was just as boring. Absolutely nothing about this movie is good.

As low budget UK horror films go, this one at least kept my interest. A lot was left to the imagination (always a good thing for me). Yes, I know this kind of genre has been done to death, and the acting was a little more than wooden. However, as mentioned before, it held my attention. I do recommend this to those of us that can still use our imagination.

Misleading packaging isn't anything new. 'Dark Path' is a good example of this. On the DVD cover, we're treated to a close-up of a snarling, multi-fanged creature. The monsters in the actual film, however, don't appear to be of the same stock. This may explain a lot of the drubbing this production has had from some reviewers, which is fair enough. What isn't so easy to take seriously, however, is when reviewers watch a low-budget independent film and then slate it for not having a huge amount of money spent on it.

While the monsters themselves my lack bite, a lot else is well done. On the technical side of things, the mostly night-time scenes are well lit and moody, and the sound design - so often a problem in projects of this nature - is perfectly balanced. The characters are mostly well-played and defined, although main player Abi (Makenna Guyler) is relentlessly acerbic; although we find out the reason for it, her spikiness could have done with being dialled down a bit. She and wayward sister Lily (Mari Beaseley) enjoy a kind of 'ladette' banter which for the most part works well.

The story was engrossing enough for me not to have noticed that this is a mostly all-female cast until the simpering character of Peter turns up. Played by Jimmy Essex, his involvement is a brief one.

I quite enjoy the way the film is left open-ended; Abi does everything right, and yet her fate doesn't look promising. Again, some reviewers have decided the film 'just stops', which isn't fair. We're left at a pivotal moment, which is clearly a deliberate creative decision.

Associate producer is Lucinda-Rhodes Thakanacker, (along with husband Jeet Thakrar) who people may remember for her performances in 'Harry and Cosh' and 'Cavegirl' among other things. Her recent career seems to have steered her toward the horror genre, which is good to see.

'A Dark Path' doesn't try and reinvent the horror film. Rather, it provides 75 minutes that I found enjoyable, cheesy, absorbing and well produced. My score is 7 out of 10.

I would have rather that the movie just be 74 minutes of dark and silence.

This was really annoying but I did make it to the end with the creatures and the lights!!!! Nice one. 2/10

First of all, what language were they speaking? I had to use close captions (which looked like crap, btw).

I liked the energy of the sisters in the beginning until I realized that was all there was, them bickering all through the movie. I gave one star for the use of "Hulk smash", which was slightly amusing.

Also, while I've never been to Eastern Europe, I can't imagine that the airport would be in the middle of nowhere. Why did they get off the main road? Ive been lost before, if the road turns into a one lane dirt path, I turn the eff around!

I couldn't get through the whole thing. Bailed when the found that second car. Why not just stay in your OWN car?! Wait til daylight. Ugh. I could go on and on but why bother. Save yourselves....just don't.
