The Dark Hour review by Kurtz

Definitely worth a look!

This Spanish film documents four days in the lives of a tiny band of humans who have survived global war and are now fending off attacks from “The Strangers”, zombified carriers of a deadly plague. To add to their problems they suffer from the attentions of a further, possibly alien, foe which is a large green glowing special effect roaming the corridors of their hideout at night. “The Dark Hour” is hardly original ( it wears its allegiance to “Blair Witch”, “Alien” and “The Omega Man” with pride), but it’s very atmospheric and although the human characters are fairly one-dimensional sci-fi/horror staples, e.g. kid, troubled teen, mother figure, sensitive type, viper in nest, grizzled veteran, etc. the actors do a good job portraying the mounting dread as their time seems to be running out.
