Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The Dark Hours is a remarkably assured homage to psychological horror films from the sixties and seventies.
Proves as cliche-ridden as its title.
A family-in-peril psychodrama that teeters on the edge of being a quality indie exercise.
A cold and moody psychodrama poised frustratingly on the border between novel and banal.
