Following the release of a demonic creature, a guardian of a secret society recruits a young woman born as a special breed of unholy being to right her past wrongs and stop the creatures' rampage.This turned out to be quite a decent effort overall. One of the better elements to this one is the inclusion of some rather fun action sense that makes this a lot more fun than it needs to be. There's a lot of rather enjoyable action scene from the training montage that fully explains her powers as well as the ensuing battle at the forum which is only their first encounter but sets the stage for later ones quite well. Even brawls inside the facility and a chase through the woods come off as rather enjoyable, though the final battle here gets the goods as being the most entertaining by being the typically drag-out brawl that's to be expected from such a final conflict. The numerous encounters here lead to some pretty decent blood and gore through the scratches, wounds and deformed bodies that are displayed along the way which are quite exciting. While being a little simplistic, there's some fun to be had here from the intriguing storyline connecting the demonic creature to her biblical past as well as the main storyline about the plague spreading throughout the rest of the world at the time. Otherwise, there's not much else to like here as the majority of the time is spent trying to get her to come to terms with her past. Not a whole lot really happens during these scenes as it just amounts to hearsay anyway but keeps going through several tries at getting the truth hammered home that it tends to conflict with the story, dragging this out so it seems to be quite slow and sluggish in terms of pace. That also tends to affect the pace as this one just doesn't have anything really interesting when not focused directly on the creature running loose and really tends to get a little sluggish at times. The CGI is simply way to fake to even be considered to make the final demon look anywhere near threatening. A suit would've looked far more threatening and imposing. The design looks cool, but the execution is way off. Beyond these, there's not a whole lot really wrong with this one.Rated R: Violence and children-in-jeopardy.

I think I found the most misogynistic film of all time: Darklight.The gist of the film- Lilith was Adam's first wife and she was considered imperfect and banished from the garden of Eden because she considered herself Adam's equal and refused to submit to him. See, I took those words straight from the script. Then the film keeps going on and though she is the heroine of the film, the only time that she becomes acceptable is when she does what the men tell her to do! She ends the film under the control of The Faith- an all male group!Other than that the script was predictable and the FX were awful. Apart from the obvious hatred of females that is usually a lot more subtle in modern film, there was nothing original about Darklight.

Darklight is both underestimated and under appreciated. A mini series would have really been interesting. I found the film to be very captivating. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the film. If anyone knows more about how this film came into being, I would like to know more about it. So, I apologize if it seems I have an overly inquisitive comment section. Was this movie indeed a pilot for a series? How much real history of Lilith was incorporated into the movie? What was the timetable involved in its making? Did the movie originate with the Sci-Fi Network or NBC? How much was budgeted for the making of Darklight? Are there any plans to release Darklight on DVD or Video? Did Sherri Appleby give any interviews about what she thought of this project? Where would one go to get the answers to these questions?

from the beginning when she's all covered in muck up till chopping the creature's head off, I was totally into this movie of an amnesiac demon who becomes the "one" like Keanu and has to save us all. The myth was cool. It's great to see a movie where the woman takes charge. I'm not familiar with the girl (never saw Rosswell), but she was earning my respect.Didn't love her blue/purple hag look at first, but it grew on me.Richard Burgi was good in this, too. He seemed genuinely to want to take Lilith out at points, which is understandable, because she killed his kid. It was cool how dark and grim it was, how Lilith and Shaw had to deal with their own crap in addition to stopping the plague.It could have just made them all swell with one another, but this took it to a deeper level. I dunno, Darklight was a solid watch, it appealed to me.
