Reviews:
“Despite self-consciously playing with horror mainstays, Dark Cove is less a genre flick and more of a character piece where you might think you’ve got everything figured out time and again … for the plot to take things in an entirely different direction almost immediately – to the point that there is no clear villain in the cast of characters until VERY late. So don’t expect a formula movie here…” Mike Haberfelner, Search My Trash
“Dark Cove has a lot of different issues that could have been tightened up while shooting as well as in post-production. Yet even knowing that this one isn’t a highly polished production with big bucks behind it, I can really respect the fact that everyone involved makes a legit run at creating something special. I can’t say that Dark Cove is the next great indie classic, but it’s far from a failure, and the story’s big conflict is refreshing and realistic.” Matt Molgaard, Addicted to Horror Movies
“It is really in the scripting, pacing and acting that the flick comes a cropper. I’m all for slow build-ups when necessary, but here it takes over 45 mins for anything to actually happen. Prior to that it’s all unnatural sounding dialogue interspersed with gurning juvenalia and crude attempts at humour. This plus a painful soundtrack of ‘let’s get stoned’ bro-anthems detracts from any possibility of caring too much about what might happen.” Robert W Monk, Flickering Myth
