GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
BA_Harrison Two very attractive but rather undernourished young women, Stephanie and Ellie (Amber Heard and Odette Yustman), are cycling across Argentina when they run into a spot of bother with some nasty locals who are abducting and transporting female tourists into Paraguay for use in the sex trade.And Soon The Darkness is an Americanised version of Robert Fuest's 1970 British thriller of the same name. I'm okay with that in principle since I imagine the original film hasn't been seen by the vast majority of people, but what I'm not okay with is the inevitable straying from Fuest's film (which was written by Brian 'The Avengers' Clemens and Terry 'Doctor Who' Nation) into typical modern, xenophobic teen horror territory.As the film progresses, the script becomes more and more predictable, and the characters dumber and dumber, making the film about as mediocre as it could possibly be. Director Marcos Efron makes good use of his rural locale, with an abandoned town providing atmosphere, and gets his two hotties into their bikinis, but my advice is, unless you're a big fan of the girls in question, check out the original instead: it also features two fine looking ladies (Michele Dotrice and Pamela Franklin), but is a much better film.
haphazard72 Not the most original storyline (and yes, I know it's a remake!), but makes for an OK movie.The main characters are as sexy as hell (!!!!!) and are enjoying a bike riding holiday when one of them is kidnapped, leaving the other to figure out what's happened, with little to no help form the townspeople or law enforcement.Unlike others with this sort of storyline, there really is little to no gore or violence right up until the end scenes, but even then, it's not as full on as it could have been.There's probably unanswered questions as to why all the townspeople don't or won't get involved- is it because of fear or other reasons? It's not really explained. Is it plausible? I guess so, but don't know.Overall an OK movie, but not great.....
manuatimdb Simply ridiculous. The characters are so stupid one can' t even believe it: Examples: The the American tourist knows that his girlfriend was kidnapped and brought to Paraguay but instead of searching in Paraguay he spends his time staying in Argentine for 6 month searching her. The blond girl knows who the kidnapper is and follows him, but will she bring at least a knife? no The American tourist instead of shooting the policeman's leg and forcing him to tell the true story, rather agrees on a deal in which he has to give the blond American girl to get his girlfriend back. and this agreement happens in a situation where he has the gun pointing at the bad guys! Who would ever agree on such a deal having complete control over the enemy? After that like a true idiot he turns around putting his gun down and gets shot. The American tourist finds blood on the ground where the brunette might have been kidnapped. Instead of following the blood. He does nothing just looks and doesn t even say anything about it. He knows about girls being kidnapped in this town but doesn t warn the girls nor does he say anything after the brunette has been kidnapped. Funny that within 6 month he isn t able to find the building where the bad guys put the girls as buffer even though he seems to already been running around that district for quite a while.the American blond girl finds the place right away. and the list about ridiculous things goes on and on. How come nobody of the crew said: this is ridiculous! One last thing. In the last scene the policeman could have shot the girl simply. instead he decides to wrestle with her? why? the objective was killing her!
Raul Faust Stephanie and Ellie are two girls who travel abroad with their bikes, which doesn't mean it's going to be a bad movie. It reveals it's gonna fail once they start talking in the bar with unknown guys; their acting is terrible and I had to laugh or I would have to cry. That scene is very amateurish and probably copied from "Hostel" or "Turistas"-- which aren't bad movies. Once one of the girls start fighting with the bad guy, this film becomes a boring cat and mouse game, which tires the spectator. In the end, they are safe. Don't waste your time with this saturated kind of movie, even thought it promises to give you a few entertaining scenes. Skip this one.
