To me, this movie is perfection.

Sadly Over-hyped

Excellent but underrated film

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Inspired by an ancient myth, Darklight stars Shiri Appleby as the immortal Lilith, long hunted by a secret society known as the Faith. Her true nature concealed by a powerful spell, Lilith lives as a 24- year-old woman with no memory of her ageless past. Now, the Faith's chief agent, William Shaw, must recruit Lilith and train her to use her mystical power, known as Darklight, for the good of humanity. So begins Lilith's heroic journey; to slay a deadly demon and come to terms with her own dark past. What i hated the most about this film except the fact that it was boring was the fact that you couldn't see anything at all and it reminded me a lot of AVP: Requeim but then again it's not like anything could save this abomination.

Yuck. I thought it odd that their ancient book on curses was made using a common script font instead of hand written. The acting is so apathetic at times and so over-dramatic at other times. Why would a "demonico" kill the two suspiciously quiet doctors who helped make him immortal? Just for the heck of it? And is it really necessary to show Lilith's motorcycle whenever she's out somewhere. We get it! You spent a little bit of money to rent some third rate crotch rocket. It doesn't mean you have to show it all the time! The "Faith's" lair looks like an old school Battlestar Galactica set with some last minute changes. There is a scene where we are introduced to a few people on a talk show for about 30 seconds before they are killed without apparent reason and without importance. Everyone is a throwaway character. Forgettable characters and an even more forgettable plot make this one of the most ill-conceived movies I've seen the SciFi channel come out with. Stay away unless you're into bad movies.

I sat glued to the screen, riveted, yawning, yet keeping an attentive eye. I waited for the next awful special effect, or the next ridiculously clichéd plot item to show up full force, so I could learn how not to make a movie.It seems when they set out to make this movie, the crew watched every single other action/science-fiction/shoot-em-up/good vs. evil movie ever made, and saw cool things and said: "Hey, we can do that." For example, the only car parked within a mile on what seems like a one way road with a shoulder not meant for parking, is the one car the protagonist, an attractive brunette born of bile, is thrown on to. The car blows to pieces before she even lands on it. The special effects were quite obviously my biggest beef with this movie. But what really put it in my bad books was the implausibility, and lack of reason for so many elements! For example, the antagonist, a flying demon with the ability to inflict harm in bizarre ways, happens upon a lone army truck transporting an important VIP. Nameless security guys with guns get out of the truck, you know they are already dead. Then the guy protecting the VIP says "Under no circumstances do you leave this truck, do you understand me?" He gets out to find the beast that killed his 3 buddies, he gets whacked in an almost comically cliché fashion. Then for no apparent reason, defying logic, convention, and common sense, the dumb ass VIP GETS OUT OF THE TRUCK!!! A lot of what happened along the course of the movie didn't make sense. Transparent acting distanced me from the movie, as well as bad camera-work, and things that just make you go: "Wow, that's incredibly cheesy." Shiri Appleby saved the movie from a 1, because she gave the movie the one element that always makes viewers enjoy the experience, sex appeal.

I really enjoyed this movie. I caught it last Saturday on sci fi and wasn't expecting something like this -- it actually had a message (spiritual renewal). Even though it was obviously done on a small budget, I thought the graphics for the demon were good and hold up well against other sci fi channel shows.It's a fun update on a biblical story (I wasn't really familiar with Lilith before), and I particularly liked seeing Shiri Appleby as a tough character showing a lot of strength, both mental and physical. I liked that this small woman has to save the world.And Richard Burgi is one handsome man. These two had nice chemistry as they have to work together. I thought Burgi played the stoic, tough guy well and added real dimension to the role.The movie felt like it was attempting to be a comic book come to life (is it based on one?), and compared to terrible movies like Daredevil, I think pulled it off nicely. All in all, I had a good time.Sarah
