Dark

Rating: 9/10 (7 August 2013)

Lets start off by stating that I have no idea what the game is like so any comparisons I don't give a crap about. Having enjoyed Dark city I thought I would give this a go and I was not disappointed.
The film puts you right in to the story line from the first minute so there is no hanging around for half an hour weighing up what is going on. The story line of the child's nightmares is not original granted. The thing that is though is the way the director unfolds the story with two different dimensions with the Father looking for his family and is very cleverly done.
The tension, macabre settings and terrific characters introduced to the story work very well especially Pyramid head. Like where did that idea come from! Sick or what.
The story goes at a great pace and keeps you guessing and I though it was terrific. Only down side why cast Sean Bean in the film with his Yorkshire accent terrible.
If you enjoyed Dark City then this is for you. Never played the game but the film stands up brilliantly on its own.
