    Watched Out of Darkness (2024). I thought this was just terrific, although I’m most definitely the target audience for a caveman horror movie. It takes the concept seriously, the actors are committed, and the whole thing turns out a lot deeper and more meaningful than I expected. I loved it.

    Out of Darkness is good if you go into it not expecting a horror film but instead an example of stone age life where you fear and have to survive anything and everything. Just living is dangerous. It's streaming on Paramount+. I got a 7 day trial to watch it.

    Just finished Out of Darkness (2022) It was meh, not great. Had so much potential and just kind of fell flat So few movies are set in prehistory, and even fewer are horror Pacing was bad, annoying 'humans are the real monsters' trope, and too short for the story it tried to tell 4/10

    Paradise (2024) Out of Darkness (2022) Savageland (2015) Paradise was a slick flick that didn't get enough attention in my opinion. Out of Darkness was a clever stone age horror movie with a heartbreaking ending. Savageland is a surprisingly inventive and effective found footage once it gets going.

    The Origin, a caveman-era survival horror film I saw at Fantastic Fest, is changing its name to Out of Darkness. I think this new title is a mistake. Are they saying that darkness is finite, and there's not much left? Or that the characters leave darkness for light? Unclear.

    Creation Lake is putting me in mind of Out of Darkness, that curious paleo-horror movie from early this year, which made me understand how calling something "deft" is sometimes faint praise. (3/4s of the way through, CL might be deft but it's also a bop) www.dis-member.com/review-out-o...

    Out of Darkness ⭐️⭐️1/2 "The movie is refreshingly unique with its approach to horror, using the genre's fear of the unknown as an allegory for alienation via xenophobia. I just can't escape the feeling that it's only halfway there. Most of the elements feel correct, but they also feel anemic."
