Theo Robertson This features several story threads set around a zombie apocalypse and for a low budget zombie horror film it does succeed in having an apocalyptic tone . It's both bleak and depressing as the film paints a scenario where zombies are about to replace humanity as the dominant species of Earth . Compare the atmosphere seen here with something like AUTUMN and you'll see how well directors Blaine Cade and Jason Horton have done in making the audience feel that the end of the world is genuinely taking place . Unfortunately they shoot themselves in the foot with their screenplay The film has three story strands 1 ) Catholic priests quest to execute a 12 year old boy who they consider to be the anti-Christ responsible for the apocalypse 2 ) A vampire couple protect a young woman if she'll allow them access to some of her blood 3 ) A couple whose marriage is on the rocks due to the husband's obsession with writing horror stories The problem is that these strands often don't tie in with the central story , try to do too much or suddenly change tone . The priests trying to find the anti-Christ child who is being protected by a Lara Croft clone could have and should have been the central focus of the narrative . The other two subplots often lack explanation and logic . The young woman in the care of the vampires is not what she seems but it's never satisfactorily revealed who or what she is . Considering humanity is about to become extinct why would anyone have a motivation for writing stories since it's obvious there's no one to sell the stories to . This subplot isn't helped by the fact that there's yet another subplot going on where the computer itself is becoming a sentient being that needs energy from other living things to remain alive ! There's so many things going on the stories that it could have kept the film company going in plots for a whole decade . This means the entire film ends up becoming totally unfocused and confused which is a great pity since EDGES OF DARKNESS has a genuinely downbeat and nihilistic atmosphere rarely seen in low budget zombie horror films

famouscoffee During the first five minutes of this movie I thought about turning it off. But at the one hour mark I was dying to find out what the hell was going on. Somehow this terrible movie captivated me right to the very end - at which point non of my questions were answered.For those who love crappy movies, I highly recommend this one. You will be treated to mind boggling plot twists, enthralling high school-calibre acting, and grade five level dialogue. This movie redeems itself by being amazingly terrible from start to finish.The movie begins by showing you the struggles of a couple who turn out to be vampires, another couple who are having relationship problems due to computer addiction, and other chick that's just messed up because she had to kill her husband and baby. Then some sort of organic cyborg fungus grows out of one dude's computer and feeds off a cactus ... 'Power Source Located'. This of course happens a number of other times when the tentacles find a mouse and then the dude's girlfriend (who fantasizes about romancing a zombie - a la Dirty Dancing). Totally awesome, but seemingly not connected to anything else that's happening in any of the other story lines.So then the vampires capture this girl who I think was an anti-vampire because she gets stronger as they feed off her. Mayhem ensues and the only one left alive is the vampiress. Yet, somewhere else in the same building? or in another part of the city, the angry chick (who had to kill her own baby) meets the Antichrist who is being pursued by these creepy priests (oh ya, the Antichrist is a 12 year old boy, which seems appropriate for their zealous desire to find him).In the end, pretty much everyone dies, but the angry chick and the Antichrist go off together somewhere - maybe to fight the alien cyborg fungus, and the vampiress laments about the horrible and chaotic world in which she is left alone - and yes, she has no answers and either do we.

dbborroughs Interrelated stories about what happens in various apartments during a zombie take over of the world. After a great start that sets up the world of the film and shows one of the characters rescuing others the film settles into what is going on in three apartments during the nightmare. Most of what occurs is a great deal of talking as everyone talks about what is going on and the weird events that are transpiring. I'm not sure how all of it really relates, like the vampire stuff. As some one said in a review, its as if the writers took all the ideas they had for a bunch of short films and crammed them into one film. It really doesn't work and the stories differences seem to work against each other. For me the promise of the early scenes got lost in the talk and unrelated nonsense. I got to the point that when the phone rang I took the call and just let the movie run. Which is not a good sign. I'd take a pass

zombieking1085 vampires, computer monsters and ZOMBIES oh my. I was on vacation visiting family in England and i happened upon this on T.V. it was sweet, My hats off to the director. It made me think a lot about what "21 days later" would have been like if it did not have a budget. I hope it gets released out here i looked for it but cant find it any where not even on netflix Loved the anti vampire thing great idea, and something i cant remember ever seeing before but i have to be honest I'm still a little confused as to what she actually was? Never the less i loved her, and the guy who played the vampire is it just me or is that guy a 20 year old Sammie Jackson.
