Village VoiceChris PackhamFeb 24, 2015
Stylishly filmed and often scary, Out of the Dark unspools a conclusion as conventional and button-down as a wide tie knot and a pair of wingtips. Read full review

New York PostSara StewartFeb 25, 2015
A horror movie with an anti-globalist bent that’s more interesting than its halfhearted scares. Read full review

From its generic title to its familiar child in distress storyline to its hackneyed depiction of things going bump in the night, Out of the Dark is thoroughly forgettable. Read full review

Out of the Dark never leaves much of an impression despite character actor Stephen Rea's endearingly cocky performance, and an exotic—though largely under-utilized—South American setting. Read full review
