Dark Light

The world's deadliest soldiers make the world's deadliest enemies.

A military special forces unit codenamed Dark Light goes AWOL from Altona Biological Research Institute. Top tracker McKenzie is hired to find them. Over the course of the hunt, McKenzie uncovers some astounding and terrible facts about the unit, and about what's been going on at Altona for the last five years. Divided loyalties and misplaced trust pave the way to a climax of apocalyptic proportions.

Dark Light

Reviews

"Midnight Pictures grabs the audience's attention thanks to an intelligent script. Dark Light happens to be a techno-biological thriller with great suspense ... Midnight Pictures have taken a brand new approach to the vampire myth. They didn't copy all the things we have seen many times about the creatures."
-- Cinescope magazine

"There is at least one FM!RT! moment (in case you don't know, the last three words stand for '... me! Rewind that!') for which you can only applaud Barton. I hope, for his sake, it didn't require many takes. It's things like that which keep you watching, with energy and enthusiasm papering over the inevitable cracks more than adequately."
-- Trash City

"There are some nice interpretations on the vampire theme, such as retaining abilities of telepathy and heightened speed and strength, which although we have seen before are pulled off brilliantly without being too hokey. The film is well directed ... The FX and editing and quality script make this an enjoyable, quality slice of entertainment. Unlike bigger budget films, there are few holes in logic, all the bases are covered, including the clever twist Prince of Darkness (John Carpenter) type ending, and at 68 minutes in length you leave the film wanting more."
-- The Rumour Machine

"One of the best amateur movies I have ever seen, and over the years I have seen hundreds ... The style and pace were both stunning and exhilarating at the same time. A number of clever edits and spot-on sound effects, mixed with a very catching soundtrack, had the audience hooked from start to finish."
-- Portadown Times
