Aside from the decent make-up, a convincing portrayal by the lead actor playing David, this was one of the most frustrating films I have ever seen. I am a huge fan of horror, suspense, and the supernatural, but my question is - What happens to the light?? In virtually every "Dark" scene, there is amber light from outside the flat streaming in, it creates shadows of the actor's silhouettes on the walls, BUT when the interior lights are turned off, the exterior light vanishes! While inside supposedly 'dark' rooms, and without their mobile phones, there seems to magically be enough light to see. The two supporting characters are unbelievably stupid to allow a crazed man with a knife to stay in the flat. What is the point of the pregnant lodger?? And, no one ever asks about the salt on the floor??? Another example of the fact that any film written and directed by the same person/ people will either be awesome or feces. This is the latter.
