Overview

Dr. Samantha Goodman is a beautiful, young psychiatrist. Burnt out, she drives to the family’s winter cottage to spend time with her husband and sister. A relaxing weekend is jarringly interrupted when a terrifying and unexpected guest arrives. What follows is an extraordinary night of terror and evil mind games where escape is not an option.

By the time The Dark Hours starts to get good, it's more than midway into the movie.

Linda Barnard, Toronto Star
Fresh

The Dark Hours is a remarkably assured homage to psychological horror films from the sixties and seventies.

Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail
Rotten

Proves as cliche-ridden as its title.

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten

A family-in-peril psychodrama that teeters on the edge of being a quality indie exercise.

Derek Elley, Variety
Rotten

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

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
