Dark Heaven (2002)
10/10
A Moody, macabre masterpiece
25 October 2004
Rented this movie and recently saw "The Grudge" in theaters. Although these are two completely different films, I noticed one striking similarity that, I believe, harkens to the future of horror films. Instead of going for screams and gore both "The Grudge" and DARK HEAVEN are like a slow infection that work their magic through mood and subject matter. They both deliver an unsettling "feeling".

DARK HEAVEN is something you won't be able to shake after you've finished watching it. Likewise with "The Grudge".

Rosemary's Baby is a true classic that delivers boatloads of mood. If you like Roman Polanski's darker works then you'll surely dig on DARK HEAVEN. The Devil's Advocate with Al Pacino is another film that successfully mixes horror with drama. If you dug Devil's Advocate "you'll certainly like DARK HEAVEN. DARK HEAVEN is more like a dark drama that has such a cool mood that you kind of have to call it a horror film.

I hear that they're doing a DARK HEAVEN 2. I'm sure it will be even better. I can't wait.
