3/10
If you're having trouble sleeping, watch this
30 January 2024
I watched Out of Darkness "early" as part of AMC's Screen Unseen. I put early in quotes because apparently this is a 2022 movie that took two years to reach theaters. I can see why. It doesn't belong in theaters. It belongs in the endless abyss of underwhelming and unmemorable streaming movies.

This movie has very little substance. Not much happens. I can summarize the entire thing in a few short sentences. The story is not engaging. You barely learn anything about the characters. So you don't care about them or understand their decisions.

They spend the entire movie teasing you until a fully underwhelming and generic "payoff." It made me roll my eyes. And it has a message we've seen a million times before, but executed in a clunky fashion.
