Are you afraid of the dark? You will be.

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2002)

David N. Thwoy, the director of the recently in theaters BELOW, directs this deftly entertaining sci-fi action adventure thriller about a group of space explorers who crash land on a planet inhabited by man-eating creatures that only come out in the dark.
Vin Diesel stars as a pumped-up, bad-ass criminal who must help protect some of the remaining group members from the creatures as they desperately try to make it through the night alive. Radha Mitchell (WHEN STRANGERS APPEAR) and Keith David (ARMAGEDDON) star along side Diesel as some of the other passengers.
Now, the special effects are mesmerizing in this film. The alien creatures look really creepy and realistic (when you can see them through an infrared thingy, that is). If you are a fan of horror movies, action movies or sci-fi stuff, then PITCH BLACK is for you. I like horror movies and action movies, so this movie was just right. This is not your average action flick, you will actually enjoy this one.
PITCH BLACK gets 5/5.
