"Darkest Hour'' doesn't have even as much character as those Discover commercials.
Joel Brown, Boston Globe
Rotten
There's literally nothing here that works: the SFX are limp, the acting is dire and director Chris Gorak seems to be fighting a losing battle with the concept of narrative logic.
Tom Huddleston, Time Out
Rotten
It's clear from early on that these characters are as indistinct and lazily rendered as the floating blobs chasing them.
Keith Staskiewicz, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
Not since Mark Wahlberg trembled in fear beside a menacing houseplant in The Happening has a film tried to provoke terror with such an unlikely object of menace.
Nathan Rabin, AV Club
