	Author	Review
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"[It] deserves credit for avoiding most zombie-pic cliches. Still, the thorny issues raised here ultimately feel trivialized by the horror elements"	POS
United States	Teo Bugbee The New York Times	"The direction by Justin P. Lange is heavy-handed (...) The impact of 'The Dark' is more clinical than cathartic."	NEU
Canada	J Hurtado Screen Anarchy	"A surprisingly delicate treatment of its subject, The Dark is an unusual and refreshing film (...) Lange's vision and interest in telling engaging stories is clear"	POS
United States	Lena Wilson The Playlist	"A clunky, simplistic horror film that falls back on outdated tropes"	NEG
United States	Luiz H. C. Bloody Disgusting	"An emotionally complex undead thriller (...) 'The Dark' really shines during the warmer, more introspective moments shared by our leads (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
