    Pretty small film, it would help to know what a neanderthal is.

    Out of Darkness was masterfully executed. A brilliantly shot, phenomenally acted, and beautifully/grippingly directed thriller. The trailers make it seem more like a brutal, terrifying horror picture, but it’s actually more of a Hitchcockian or Kubrickian exercise in deliberate pacing, tone, and thematic precision that feels richer than it’s shockingly tight runtime (only 90mins!!!) suggests. If you can, try to catch it in theaters. It’ll still be impactful at home on streaming, sure, but with the surround sound of a cinema and the massive screen, the experience really is heightened. If you dug 2022’s Prey and/or classic Twilight Zone, you’ll for sure dig it.

    Andrew Cumming’s “Paleolithic horror” film blows away expectations and portrays a story concerning humanity’s most basic instincts and the struggle for survival. Set in Upper Paleolithic Europe, a group of humans (Safia Oakley-Green, Chuku Modu, Kit Young, Lola Evans, Luna Mwezi, and Arno Leuning) arrive in a strange land and are seemingly hunted by a malevolent monster and/or spirit. We use the term “tribalism” in political discourse nowadays, but in Out of Darkness, it’s portrayed in its truest form. From the beginning, we see the first “othering,” scapegoating, and descent into violent superstition. The RT (86/55) must be in some part due to the mischaracterization of this movie. This is far from a pure “horror” film and I’m sure that annoyed plenty of viewers, especially after the First Act. That being said, what the film truly does is show a contained story concerning the perpetual struggles that befit humankind itself, and it’s done excellently. I loved the direction, action, message, and final line/shot of this movie. Throw into it a well-crafted fictional language (called “Tola” here, which is influenced by a mix of Basque and Arabic) and Out of Darkness becomes a 5-star movie. (Although it was shown at film festivals in 2022, it was not shown in theatrical release until 2/2024.)

    I liked the movie, the scenography is very good and you feel the tension before the unknown and the despair that the characters can feel in the face of adversity such as the unknown, the hunger they suffered, etc. It's worth it.

    Fantastically scary and well done. Loved it.

    Though substantially unbalanced per its buildup, it’s rather fresh with an unprecedented subtextual impact across both myth and territory towards conjuring decent suspense upheld by raw forms. (B)

    Buena fotografía, buena idea, pero falla en la construcción física de los personajes, además es muy básica la creación del suspenso.
