 DVD Talk Review: In The Dark
Looking directly into the lens and painting a powerful portrait of an individual coming unglued, actor Jack Thyme is a little mannered, but his message comes across loud and clear.
Where before we saw him as a pot-smoking joke (his line about living with his mother is hilarious), he now appears to be a source of potential danger.
Kane understands that mood and atmosphere can make or break a movie, and before all the confusion cuts loose, he allows the characters one last lamentable choice (it involves an amplification of the already overdone drug use) before sending them to the slaughter.

There is not a soul who has played this game who can honestly admit that they did not jump out of their seat the first time the flying beast crashed through the window in the bedroom or who cannot still visually picture the shuffling zombies with their outstretched decaying arms.
