LOST AFTER DARK is a throwback to the slasher film of the 1980s, made on an indie budget, with a bunch of random teenage characters stranded at a remote cabin and finding themselves prey to the machinations of an equally random psychopath with murder in mind. While I appreciate this film's honouring of the genre at its most enjoyable, the resultant film is a mere weak imitation of what's come before. The performances are undistinguished - the reliable Robert Patrick aside - the gore perfunctory, the suspense non-existent.
