Now before we start this review I need to remind you dear readers that I’m not really a huge of the sci-fi/aliens attack the earth kind of genre, I find them boring and over the top at best. So when I was offered to watch THE DARKEST HOUR is was skeptical to say the least.
A group of friends have to fight for their lives when an alien force, in the form of an invisible electrical beings, land in Moscow, Russia. Taking refuge in the basement of a club, the group decide to look for survivors, travelling at night so they can spot the menace in the electrical lighting. Finding solace with an electrical expert and another survivor, the group arm themselves with weapons that will hopefully stop the creatures in their tracks.
I was expecting very little from this film if I am honest. There are so many films in the sci-fi genre which have been major flops but what I didn’t realise is that THE DARKEST HOUR is actually a pretty original film, something that I really like. But then what do you expect from the director of the fantastic RIGHT AT YOUR DOOR, a film I have alot of love for. The great thing about THE DARKEST HOUR is the aliens. It is rare to have an original concept as is shown is the film. The invisible electric aliens does it for me!
The acting is really good and the direction is top class so if you like your sci-fi films this is the film choice for you.
