Rocks and kicks A**! (minor spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (27 July 2004)

People who call this movie bad deserve a slap across the face! I was GOING to say, "deserve to be dragged behind the barn and shot", but I don't want my piece of work here to go unpublished just because of a notion like that!
"Pitch black" is simply one of the best B-movies I have ever seen, IF not the best - tightly written, well-acted and esPECIALLY well directed! (note: I can't believe the below par B-horror conveniently called "Below" was directed by Twohy also). If I MUST complain (which I surely wouldn't want to do), then some of the actors could be better. They aren't bad, just simply not up to Diesel... Well, what do you get with this budget? Better ones than in "Cube", and you remember how good that one still was. Also the idea, however well used, ain't that original.
But back to the good news- the script, director and cast make it all work for MORE than what it's worth! Everything falls in it's place and the result is scary, hip and funny - when it wants to be. "Looks clear"; a legendary line and cracks me up every time.
If you STILL haven't seen this, go rent it out right away!
