Well I wouldn't consider this a spoiler but some may, I found that Steven Seagal was barley in this I mean he had a decent amount of screen time but he didn't have nearly as much as he usually does. This movie I found to be really fun to watch and I consider it to be one of the best ever direct to video horror movie I have seen in a long while. The storyline the movie follows is really good it is regular zombie movie storyline but this one I found to be a bit better. The special effects I found to be top notch and very realistic maybe a few that you tell are fake but not many, the zombies in this look a lot different than zombies in other movies do but they sort of explain why in the movie, the blood and guts in the movie I have to say look awesome I mean they are no theater movie quality but for direct to video they are. The action and fight sequences are pretty good some are a bit shorter than they should be but other wise good. The acting for the most part is really good maybe a few bad actors here and there. So I going leave this movie with a rating of seven out of ten I would have rated it higher but for Steven Seagal's lack of screen time it brought it down. Also it is good to see Steven Seagal do something different for a change I am big fan of Steven Seagal and this I found to be a good move for him. So Make sure that you rent or buy Against The Dark. Overall Rating: ******* out of ********** ***1/2 out of ***** Oh just to point this out The old man at the beginning has to be one of the scariest things I have ever seen watch it and you will see what I mean.

I had high hopes for this. Judging from the trailer, it looked interesting to say the least. I've been a Seagal fan for a long time, but his films have gone from great (Urban Justice) to lame (Against the Dark)to ridiculous (Flight of Fury). Call me crazy but it looks as if a stunt man does his fights. Why? Remember "Today you Die"? and "Kill Switch"? Whats with the double? Nothing's cooler than to watch Steven Kick Ass!!! Enough 'bout that. Against the Dark is not a Seagal film at all. All he did was about a 10 minute cameo. It's a neat story and it had some nice action bits but that's it. Nice violence too but not enough to keep someone interested. Steven, please go back to kicking ass and not all this non-sense!!!!!

WARNING: Spoiler Ahead! The picture on the front of the DVD box received more effort to produce than the rest of this poor piece of film work. The only reason they put Steven Seagal on the box cover is because the actual main characters aren't so well known. That's right, Seagal is not the main character here. In fact, you barely see Steven throughout the entire film. To tell the truth, as little as we see him here, it's a wonder why he's in the film at all. That's problem #1. This film does little more than rip off films like "Night of the Living Dead", "Resident Evil", "28 Days Later", etc.. A virus has plagued the earth, causing people to become blood sucking, mindless killers. Survival of a few uninfected is the plot, and add in a vampire hunter - Steven Seagal. The film uses extremely low budget effects and filmation. Simply, if I had known anything about it before hand, I would not be able to add a review here. I would not have bought it off the shelf. At best, the disc will make a good coaster before I throw it away.

The ridiculous story of a ragtag band of survivors in a world ravaged by a virus which turns people into vampires. These survivors find themselves trapped in a hospital and can't get out...because...uh....the doors are locked? They're trying to find their way down to the basement to get to a parking garage.....before.....uh.....the generator dies and the security door won't let them out? They stumble around in this deserted building, being hunted by packs of vampires who seem to have no trouble getting around. They come to door after door, which they can't get through because they are locked. I'm sorry, but did the world's supply of crow bars just vaporize when this plague hit? Which brings out one of the many flaws in this movie. If I was a "survivor" in a world overrun by vampires, I'd be carrying every weapon I could get my hands on. Even if I couldn't find a gun anywhere, I'd get a butcher knife, a steel rod, hell, a big stick. But these people carry nothing. They make no attempt to actively defend themselves from the vampires. They simply wander around like sheep waiting to be eaten. But wait, along comes our hero. He does come along right? I mean, I do believe I remember seeing one of two quick flashes of him, mumbling some stupid commands to his "team". And I believe he did actually kill a vampire, right? The fight scenes happened so fast, and were filmed with constantly shifting camera angles so that you couldn't tell what happened. You see a flash of his face, a flash of his sword, and then blood is flying everywhere. Nothing he does in this movie even approximates acting. Like good wine, some actors get better and better with age. Steven Seagal just goes sour. Like this movie.

I was curious whether this film can be a new start for Steven Seagal but it wasn't. He's not even the main protagonist, so it is a mistake to show him on the cover. The story begins as a narrator tells the situation. I don't consider it as a good start. The basic conflict should be shown within the story. But anyway, the first two minutes are the most interesting part of the movie. After this, the zombies come and eat people, that's all what's happening. No progress, no goal. We don't know anything about the characters, we won't like or hate them. Some of them will be eaten by the zombies, we know that from the beginning. This movie is terrible. There's no real script in it, the music is terrible, the pop rithyms don't fit to the zombies at all. And all the movie is taken place at dark corridors, as the didn't have money for any good place to shoot at. I don't recommend this film for anyone. The worst moment was when Steven Seagal stabbed a zombie little boy. Can you imagine it? If you want to see a trash movie in the subject, see Zombie Strippers, it is not so serious, and they have Jenna Jameson in it.

I have a basic rule about films: I always see the ending. It does not matter if I like them, or even detest them ("The Snake People", "Hot Tub Time Machine" "The Adventures Of Pluto Nash", "Bowfinger", "Teenage Catgirls In Heat", "Walk On The Wild Side", "Jewel Robbery", "Billy Jack", and Valley Of The Dolls" are a few that come to mind), I always catch the ending (Even if it is just the last 10-15 minutes) to know how the film ended. "Against The Dark" is different, I could not even go back to watch the ending. There is nothing redeemable about it: No beautiful women, no humor, no catchy phrases, no suspense, no character to care one iota about, it did not even have a decent song for the credits (Like "Billy Jack & "Valley Of The Dolls" had). It is without question the worst film this side of "Machete" in Seagal's car (I would sooner sit down and watch stupid reality TV like "America's Next Top Model" or "Bridezilla's" above this film (At least some of the women are hot)). The only thing that could possibly be worse to watch is "Machete", "Walk On The Wild Side" and gay * (Since I have never seen that (Nor intend to), I can only guess at that). As for Seagal, there is not a single "A-List" star in motion picture history whose career has fallen further, from when he was on top. This includes Boris Karloff who went from "Frankenstein" & "The Mummy" to "Isle Of The Snake People" and the "Ghost In The Invisible Bikini", Van Damme, or even Corey Feldman from "The Burbs" & "The Lost Boys" to "The Two Corey's". Seagal's performances in films like "Against The Dark", and "Attack Force" make the worst Charles Bronson movies at Cannon Films (Such as "Kinjite" and "Messenger Of Death") look like "Death Wish" or "Once Upon A Time In The West". The last Seagal film that was any good, "Half Past Dead" was made in 2002, which should tell him, it is time to retire, and never make anyone suffer through any of films again. I will never watch another Seagal film again

Rating: 3 Out of 5 Genre: Horror, Science Fiction, Action, Infection, Vampires Director: Richard Crudo Stars: Steven Seagal, Tanoai Reed, Jenna Harrison, Danny Midwinter, Emma Catherwood, Stephen Hagan, Daniel Percival, Skye Bennett, Tania Dobre Synopsis: "Against the Dark" takes place in the not-to-distant apocalyptic future infectious vampires have taken their toll on the refugees of the world tapping them in undefended towns. . A team of vamp slayers (lead by Seagal) are trying to secure an infested town before the military render the final solution. Thoughts: As of late "katana-master" Seagal has been putting out some serious straight-to-video drivel. Highly criticized for being out-of-shape and under budgeted "Against the Dark" proved that he had at least one more halfway decent film in him. But there's a catch and this may be the reason the film works…Seagal isn't in it that much. First-time director (but experienced Cinematographer) does a pretty decent job wringing the clichéd and tired script of every drop he can. That Gothic, post-apocalyptic, most-likely-filmed-in-Europe look suits the film since darkness can easily hide a multitude of sins. In Conclusion: Seagal's career started taking a nosedive somewhere around "Half Past Dead". There's probably a joke in that last sentence but I'll leave that one to you. Much of his last few years output has been painful to witness but maybe, just maybe there's a little something left in the tank.

I'm very disappointed right now. I just finished watching it with my wife and we laughed our way through the movie. We're sure it was not meant to be a comedy, but it was all just too ridiculous. The script is weak, the acting is not good either but it always gets much worse every time Steven is around. The music is a laugh - completely misplaced. There's no real plot, no character design, no nothing. It's just dull. It's boring and unreal. Like a fairy tale for a wannabe hero. It's just not worth it. Well, not unless you really want to see how low can Mr. Seagal sink ... I hope that this is the last movie with his appearance that i and my wife will ever come across.
