The Blackout (2009)
1/10
So bad it cannot be expressed .....
28 December 2009
Warning: Spoilers
This was the worst film ever, at each turn you could either:

a) guess the outcome b) write a better scene

The movie had all the potential to be good, a interesting mix of characters (combined with the usual monster fodder "spare" people)

There was no real explanation of why all this was happening, despite there even being the techno/nerd character with the usual hardware

Why were so many points raised and then discarded. e.g. the smell of sulphur suggesting some demonic influence? The creatures being photo sensitive and yet showing no problem with light sources? Why did the black guy have a gun, and where did he get the second one from?

This was very much a made for TV movie, to be shown during the 2am -4am slot!

If there was a hope to make this into a series with humans valiantly battling each week for survival then please don't!
