Critic Reviews

Stephen Cole

In classic B-movie style, The Dark Hours was created in a fever, written in two weeks and hurriedly shot in 16 mm (blown into a crisp 35 mm print). Nevertheless, the film provides evidence of talent everywhere. Read full review

Jeremy Knox

The Dark Hours is one of those rare gems out of Canada. Read full review

Derek Elley

The Dark Hours surmounts some of the problems of its weak dialogue through a commanding performance by lead Kate Greenhouse and some grisly, genre-style violence. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

A cold and moody psychodrama poised frustratingly on the border between novel and banal. Read full review

Peter L'Official

Devine's giddy sex offender nearly rivals William Hurt's preposterous gangster in "A History of Violence" for absurdly enjoyable line readings. Read full review

I stumbled on this film by accident, and I'm pleasantly surprised. Not brilliant, but definitely smarter than the average Hollywood (read: crap) thriller. Very well acted
