Evaluations [may contain spoilers]:
“Not a foul little B-movie, The Darkish has sufficient ridiculousness to maintain you chuckling all through the plain plot holes. However its apparent similarities to many different movies, each Canadian and American, don’t precisely make it stand aside from the gang.” Canuxploitation!
“The Darkish generally stumbles, however there are lots of good sequences and the climactic conflict with the creature is tense and thrilling. Commendably, the actors play it as in the event that they imagine each phrase of it, including to its effectiveness.” Derek Winnert
“This horror/sci-fi merchandise is so well-acted and intelligently paced that the filmmakers virtually handle to camouflage the important silliness of their state of affairs, which includes a prehistoric beast who lives beneath a cemetery and feeds on corpses. Alas, regardless of some respectable scare sequences, The Darkish is a type of instances the place virtually doesn’t rely.” Leisure Weekly
” …The Darkish compensates with an engaged and fascinating solid that appears to be having enjoyable recreating the atmosphere of ’50s sci-fi. And Pryce is aware of properly sufficient to maintain the creature principally within the shadows. Talking of shadows, Michael Storey’s cinematography greater than lives as much as the problem of taking pictures principally at night time and in dim tunnels on a restricted price range.” Movies from Past the Time Barrier

“The Darkish is a type of films that you’ll carry on and proceed watching simply to see the creature—each scene between its appearances could also be time to get some house responsibilities carried out, work on that story you’re writing, or stare off within the distance, questioning how Campbell was even given one other shot at performing after this movie.” Fast Horror Film Evaluations
“Followers of great horror leisure will definitely be disillusioned, however animal horror followers, for whom it typically doesn’t should be logical or unfunny, will probably be pleased with this little movie for in-between instances, however ought to know that the animal itself seems comparatively hardly ever. However at the least expectations are saved fairly excessive, even when there may be hardly any pleasure.” Schlombies Movie Evaluations [translated from German]
