The first thing I noticed about "Dark Heaven" is that it probably would have made a decent "short film". It has that short film fest feel to it, and most likely would have scored well as such. The cinematography was above average, with gloomy shades of color through out, but the "special effects" were border line ridiculous. Director Douglas Schulze tells a believable story, although we've seen it all before (think: "Jacob's Ladder") and the acting is below average at best. If Schulze would have re-thought the final "showdown" scene between "good & evil" and left out the overly cheesy "slo-mo" battle, I'd bet he wouldn't have received all the horrible reviews. If nothing else, this film should be an inspiration to young film makers around the world, because if this can get distribution... Anything can.
