Edges of Darkness (2008)

I love this movie so much

one of my absolute favorites!

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

I've never shied away from a really bad horror movie (Zombiez, Ghosts Don't Exist, The Sick and The Dead) and this one didn't disappoint, thank goodness. It was 87 minutes of being on an edge of plots but they were way to far in the distance to recognize them. There were three story lines; 1) the couple whose marriage was not going well because the dude was on the computer all the time while a zombie apocalypse was going on outside (later the computer became an alien life form that eventually sprouted roots and killed his wife who dreamed of dancing with zombies), 2) the vampire couple who captured a female to feed on but she turned out to be some anti-vampire, 3) a kick-butt girl who is a wannabe Alice (from Resident Evil) and gets hooked up with the Anti-Christ. None of the three story lines actually crossed paths, except that they were living in a zombie apocalypse. It was 87 minutes of incredible lack of direction, no plot and some really weird scripting. If you like movies with no plot and no clear ending, this is a great movie for you. One of the best lines in the movie, "There's m-f arm bones in the front yard!" I gave this one star because the videography/camera angles and video transitions are well done. This is a keeper for my "Crappy Movies" collection.

I AM EMBARRASSED THAT I RENTED THIS!Here is the spoiler: this movie is already spoiled rotten and smells of hamster filth and elderberries. Zombies. Vampires. Cyborg computer chip. That's the plot, and whatever they made up for each scene. If this movie had a plot it would be a film. But it's a home movie that some how made it to a video rental place. Someone ate the script and defecated this into the actors mouths, and then, gave a retard Adobe After Effect to do the very "special" effects.This tops my "Worst Movie Ever" award. I love zombie movies, even terrible ones. No amount of zombies can save this movie from my utter hatred of it. It has theater drop-out actors, home movie special effects, and an abyss of lack of plot or substance. This movie reeked of "I made this for the fun of making a movie" so the audience response is "I watched this as a form of sadomasochism."This coming from someone who loves B-Movies, and will normally lend a nice comment to someone's home movie, this movie deserves the black chasm of filth. The amateur directors should go back to film school, the actors should go back to high school and take a few drama classes, and the special effects wizards are really..."special"... like the special bus.I gave this a 1 star because even a fan of horror and zombies (like myself) hates it. I recommend forcing people you don't like watch it, and then enjoy their terrible response. If you need to break up with your girlfriend, watch this movie with them. If you want to test your mettle in some sick fashion... you get the drift.Question... if you force terrorist to watch this, is it worse than water boarding? Just a thought.

Imagine something circling outside the rim of a black hole; it never falls in but circles it eternally. That is this movie: eternally circling outside the plot of what could have been a good movie. It tries to be an anthology but only with a laughable tenuous link to the other movies. It tries to be a plot driven horror film, with too few scares and not enough plot. Yet, strangely, it has grown on me. The "Overbite" story is the most lacking on plot but the couple's story intrigued me and they're believable as a couple. I wish it was a series. The "Up the Ante" story, I believe also could have been good, if it had been fully realized. However, the "Entanglement" story was utterly horrible. It's one bright spot, was the actress that played the wife. She is probably awesome with stronger material.In the end, I believe this movie had the ability to be something more than it was. It had decent actors and plots that had potential (NOT including "Entanglement") but it failed. I gave it 5 stars because it was halfway there. Forever outside the powerful star of a good movie.

Do not be fooled by this movies brilliant DVD cover. I was in the movie store and there it was, a new zombie flick (I love zombie flicks. Can never seem to get enough of them) and on the cover was a hot female in torn clothes boots and ripped fishnets standing on a pile of rubble surrounded by zombies and she's holding a pistol down at them. The title of the movie 'Edges of Darkness' in the background behind her head with the tag line 'so many zombies, so little time' underneath. SWEET! I thought. Turned it over and the hot chick is wielding an axe and there are nothing but zombies other than her. Looked like a good and cheesy action flick. I have never been so disappointed. It starts of pretty decent. You can tell it's a low budget production, but that never bothers me. We see lots of zombies and then we get into these 3 tales that don't make any sense or have really anything to do with zombies. SPOILER ALERT. First story is a about this "warrior" woman (I think this is the girl on the DVD case as far a I can tell. If it is the photo shopped the hell out of her) helping some mother and her son. She then finds out some priest are trying to kill the boy because they think he's the anti-Christ. The second is about this computer obsessed husband who ignores his wife who talks to herself. Then the computer starts coming alive. The last one is about this couple who kidnap this woman and want to drink her blood but some unknown reason that's never found out her blood starts poisoning them. The whole movie you just want a zombie to kill all of them. No one dies from a zombie. OK, that's a lie, some random people at the beginning who have no lines do, but that's it. There are no likable characters, mashed up non-sensible plots, boring sets (seriously looked like the whole thing was shot in dorm rooms and show houses. Every room was white and empty except one room that was covered in graffiti), unfocused camera work, and a bad soundtrack. Do not waste your time or money on this movie. Watching my hands prune in a bath is more interesting
