UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) Family tragedy seems to be affect the young people often. For Celia(Monica Keena) losing a loved one seems to have taken its toll on her. When she was born, her mother died. Then she has the friend who saved her from a on-coming car when she was young. On her 21st birthday, she goes to a fraternity party where she is drugged, raped, and killed. Talk about having a hard life. She ends up being the next family tragedy, and no close relative to tell the news. Only her "friend" Donovan(David Anders) tells her who to avoid, and who to trust. Donovan was her guardian angel throughout her life, until she learns he's not the trusting person he claims to be. She does find the guy who drugged and raped her, before she died. And he gets his just desserts after he commits suicide. Seems like the only family member who was at peace was her mother. The only person in the family who could be saved was her grandfather, Joe(Tim Thomerson). He was always around Celia until his death, and knowing who Donovan worked for, made her think for herself. I guess she knew what it takes to be a guardian angel. I know that Celia will definitely earn her wings. This horror is intriguing, and some form of biblical matter was mentioned. It was worth the watch. 3 out of 5 stars!

Paul Andrews Left in Darkness starts on the 21st birthday of parentless Celia (Monica Keena) who goes along to a frat party with her best friend Justine (Jessica Stroup) as way of celebration. However a scumbag guy named Doug (Chris Engen) & his mates spike Celia's drink & when she's suitably unconscious Doug rapes her. Celia wakes up only to see her own body in the corner of the room, obviously shocked she runs downstairs where she meets her dead Grandfather (Tim Thomerson) who tells her that she is dead & stuck in a place somewhere between heaven & hell & that a load of soul eating zombies are trying to, well, eat her soul. Can she survive death, even though she's already dead if you know what I mean & get to heaven where good little girls like he go?Directed by Steven R. Monroe I personally hated Left in Darkness & it's as simple & straight forward as that. The script by Philip Daay & Jane Whitney tries to be different but ends up being a load of old tosh, it's slow, it's boring & it introduces so many obscure 'rules' it's hard to keep track of things & even harder to care. Firstly there's the sanctuary bit, the bit about where the zombies are & aren't allowed, the touching the mirror, being able to affect certain objects & situations, some nonsense about a dead persons light that gives protection, a guardian angel dude who becomes the focus of the most obvious 'twist' ending ever, Celia all of a sudden having to complete tasks, zombies not being able to touch her unless she touches them & more besides. Now don't get me wrong as I love something a bit different, something where you have to think & something totally original but I also hate bad films & ladies & gentlemen I suggest to you that Left in Darkness is a very bad film. All these silly elements are thrown together with one new rule being introduced every few minutes as the previous one is totally forgotten, I found it incredibly tedious to watch, I couldn't get into the story because of all the stupid shifts in the narrative, the film lacks any decent horror elements & as a whole I have no fondness for Left in Darkness at all.Director Monroe does OK although it's neither any better nor any worse than the dozens of low budget straight-to-video horror films that seem to be around at the moment. There's zero atmosphere, there's zero tension & zero gore. I couldn't get over he ridiculous sounding fact that zombies were trying to kill someone who was in principal already dead, the more I think about this film the more I want to lower my IMDb score for it.Technically the film is fine, it's reasonably well made with no obvious problems. Shame about the over-elaborate & confused script which tries to throw some new pointless 'rule' in every few minutes. The acting wasn't that great either, leading lady Keena was easy on the eyes but I doubt she'll get much work because of Left in Darkness.Left in Darkness is crap, I'll give it three stars out of ten because I will openly admit that it does at least try to do something a bit different, it's just a shame it all turned out so terrible. Definitely not recommend.

violent_j-03 i'm this guys bro,but i have to say, this is one of the most awesomely originally awesome horror flicks I've seen in a long,long time!! i was excited and scared through the whole thing! i loved the way it was written and filmed! the plot, the lack of gallons of blood, and the twists that prevented me from knowing what was coming next!!! absolutely amazing! please make more movies like this. u rule!!!your movie had hot chicks, ghouls, and insane parties! you cant argue with that. not to mention, you never left the same block that it happened on.easy to keep up with.other than that,i'm just filling space to get this notion to where u can eventually read it. loved your work,and really hope to see more in the future.

wrlang Left in Darkness wasn't actually all that bad of a film. The description on the back left me very wary of what I was about to watch. The beginning was rather odd with the star as a little girl whose deafness to her grandfathers recommendations didn't bode well for a long life. The dreaded rape scene wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be, considering what some twisted directors have done with the subject. The story is about a woman who is raised by her grandparents after her mother dies giving birth and father disappears. She is killed at an animal house type of party by the typical drunken sociopath frat boys. She wakes up dead between heaven and hell and must fight for her soul using vague clues given to her by dead relatives and a guardian angel of sorts. It moves relatively quickly and has some good horror scenes. The editing was good and the camera work was good. The dialog was a little flat. The acting wasn't too bad and there were some seasoned actors in bit parts.
