Shit's About to Get Dark

About This Movie

So, 'Shit's About to Get Dark' is a curious little gem from 2014 that really plays with the line between dark comedy and horror. It starts off with five friends engaging in this crude game about shock value, which is a bit of a setup for what’s to come. The pacing is interesting; it lures you in with laughter and then throws you into this unexpected twist of real horror. The practical effects, while not top-tier, add an unsettling layer to the climax. Performances feel genuine, almost like you’re eavesdropping on a real group of friends. It’s distinctive in how it shifts from raunchy humor to something pretty chilling, which is a tough balance to strike.

This film is relatively obscure, which adds to its allure for collectors. It's been released in a couple of formats, but the DVD version seems to be more common than any potential limited edition. Interest in the film is growing, particularly among those who appreciate niche horror and indie projects that take risks. The lack of a well-known director might contribute to its mystique, making it a bit of a hidden treasure for collectors looking for something different.
