Edges of Darkness is a zombie horror film with hardly any zombies in it. This is a tale of three different stories that take place during a zombie apocalypse. Now, based on that, you might be thinking that the film is about zombies, but it isn’t. Ha-ha! I made that mistake too. It only takes place during a zombie apocalypse, but the stories are about other things entirely. One story is about a possessed computer that looses its power source because of the apocalypse and (Spoiler Alert) ends up using the owners as new biological batteries. Another story is about the Antichrist and the third story is about vampires.
This is your typical B horror movie with mediocre acting and the writing that never seems to fully make sense. A great example of this would be at a critical point in the third story someone asks another person, “What are you?” Again, I made the mistake of thinking I was going to figure out what was going on but the answer was “Does it really matter?” That’s all you get. That entire story was built up around that very mystery, and that’s the explanation we get?!? F*** you, Edges of Darkness!
The whole film wasn’t a total loss though. The story about the Antichrist featured a kick ass female who actually fought a few zombies, which was actually pretty enjoyable as the kickass lady did a mighty fine job in the role and the character was pretty awesome. That story was more of what I was expecting from the film, not a demon computer sucking the life out of people and stupid vampires.
Now that you know what to expect, you might think that this is a corny B movie that you could enjoy. I, however, thought I was going to watch a zombie film and instead I got a flick about a possessed computer and vampires that they never come out and say that they’re vampires. I was expecting something else; therefore, I didn’t like it and thought it was an incredible waste of time.
Action Rating: ½ F*** You’s, out of 5.
This is the Action Flick Chick, and you’ve just been kicked in the ass!

Love the rating….1/2 F U’s out of 5….too funny. Yeah I think my brother worked for free (thus why I think he got credit for it as did most of the zombie undead) on the weekends on this movie as one of the zombies….just so he could be in a zombie movie as a zombie….one of his dreams…or nightmares. I haven’t seen it and don’t know any place that has it and not really wanting to see except maybe catch a glimpse of my brother….but then again I could just watch Die Hard or Lethal Weapon 4 again to see him….and they are much better and more kick ass movies.
I have absolutely no interest in seeing this movie.
For about a paragraph and a half, I thought you were talking about the new Mel Gibson movie but, you know, completely blowing it off. I thought the zombie reference was to the spectacular acting on Gibson’s part. The mentions of vampires and Antichrist should have clued me in a little faster.
LMAO. I think I need to get some sleep or something.
