Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBased on "The Devil's Footprints" phenomenon that occurred in 19th century England. Mysterious hoof-like footprints appeared in the snow between 8 February and 9 February 1855 in Devon all along the 40 to 100 miles (60 to 160 km). The prints appeared to pass through walls and over rooftops, marking a route in a perfect straight line. It is still considered to be an unsolved mystery.
- GoofsAfter Donny is injured by the creature, Donny tells Paul to "go get it." But he doesn't tell Paul where or in which direction the creature has gone.

Donny Saunders: I feel I was sent to protect someone.
Featured review
Decent suspenseful horror
Up until the closing scenes Dark Was the Night is reminiscent of any number of films by director M. Night Shyamalan.
A strong sense of foreboding and tension is established early in this film. The source of the terror that infects a US country town is hinted at and glimpsed but never fully revealed, until the final scenes.
As a result, Dark Was the Night could be described as somewhat slow by some but that was not what I took away from this story. Its well acted, with a solid sub plot and good character development, that moves the story forward.
The ending is somewhat predictable, as is the final twist but that really doesn't detract greatly from what is a worth while watch. Seven out of ten from me.
