Reception

edit

Variety described The Dark as "well-crafted and well-acted", but that "in trying to succeed as something both metaphorical and very literal-minded, the movie ends up being neither one nor the other — not psychologically deep enough to succeed as pure drama, and too earnest to offer the usual rewards of a genre film."[2]
