One hundred things I've learnt from 'And Soon the Darkness'


1. Give an evil man a phone call and he will stop raping and electrocuting girls


Wake me up when it's over

2. When your friend is saving you whilst your kidnapper is distracted, it's okay to be crying and making as much noise as possible even though your kidnapper is only feet away from you.


That's what bugged me the most. Couldn't he hear them? The brunette were pretty noisy.

reply

3. When you manage to get the upper hand on the kidnapper by hitting him with a huge stick, its ok, he's down, out and 100% finished off. Its probably a good idea to simply walk away dusting your own hands, because he's NOT going to get up and come after you.

4. Cars NEVER EVER start when required.

5. When being chased at night, by and armed assailant, run towards the light screaming as LOUDLY as possible, chances are he's really stupid and won't follow you.

6. Whilst being chased by a gunman, in a remote area, its OK if your stupidity gets other people killed, as they aren't American, and no one really cares about Argentinian fishermen.

7. Neither Amber Heard or Odette Yustman can act for *beep* especially Yustman.

8. You won't realise that the Police man is crooked, until the very second its too late to do anything about it.

9. Using the same old, tired and lazy set-ups for creating tension always works, and will never fail to satisfy your audience....unless they've seen a movie in the last 45 years.

Exactly, with so many things around to knock him out cold, she went and removed the tape from her wrists first. That did not make sense.

^ Ummmmm... Odette Yustman and Amber Heard are hot in bikinis?

reply

It is okay to steal someones car outside a police station

yes Odette and Amber are very nice looking girls

it is also okay to go up to a duke box in a local bar and pull out the plug and put it back in and play another song due to the annoyance of the 2 guys sitting there

Despite what people have said about this film it is not too bad in my opinion but still not as good as the 1970's version

reply

49. Its always a good idea to go out drinking when you know you have to be up early the next night.

50. Amber Heard and Odette do nothing for men like myself who like curvy women.

"...insert corny quote here"

reply

Agreed. They look like a couple of lanky teenage boys. I like curves on a woman, and I say that a woman with no ass is no woman at all!

52. Make sure you don't wear panties underneath your extremely low riding dress at a bar in the middle of Argentina.

55. When you are two females traveling alone in another country where you aren't familiar with the customs and the policing system is corrupt it's always a good idea to

a. Dress in a short, seductive attire while unaccompanied at a bar while drunk and begin gyrating on strange men
b. Hook up with strange men.
c. Travel to secluded sunbathing spots armed with only an iPod.
d. Just ditch your friend if if you're having a petty quarrel....hey, what's the worst that could happen?

reply

56. When a kidnapped girl is pointing a loaded rifle at the kidnapper, he should not say, "Give me the gun" in a creepy voice and begin to advance towards her.

Off-topic, this film was a turd, yet another terrorized female pic and a pointless remake.

reply

#whatever: After seeing All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, and then this, I've concluded that I have a crush on Amber Heard. And I'm a straight girl. That's mostly what I took from this. My god she's pretty. I'm entranced by her face for some reason.

reply


You might be gay. You just don't want to admit it.

57. As soon as you are finished telling a vulnerable female about how your girlfriend also went missing when she went off on her own in this area, tell her to go alone to search for her own missing friend and you will meet her back here in an hour. Genius.

59. Girls don't need to wipe after peeing.

reply

60. If the bus you wanted to catch trundles away from you at about 10 mph, just give up trying to catch it even though you are on bicycles and the road before you takes a downward gradient, meaning you don't even have to pedal as hard as normal to attain a realistic expectant cruising speed of about 18-20 mph with little to no effort, there will obviously be no other bus stops en route for you to catch it up.

61. When locked in the back of a police car, adrenaline would not tell you to kick the windows out. (Had she not seen Helen in I Know What You Did Last Summer?)

reply

62. When travelling long distances wear unsuitable (but cute) shoes
63. Don't wear cycling gloves on long trips
64. Dont add bar ends to your bike to make travelling more comfortable
65. Have absolutely no explaination as to why the bike was trashed
66. Trash someones bike so its harder for them to leave even though you want them gone
67. Even though both girls are easily kidnappable when separated only ever kidnap one so there are witnesses and a link
68. Even though a man has been hanging out for 6 months or so looking for his gal and may unravelling your scheme, don't kill him even though you have no problem doing it.
69. When taking bathing suits on a trip to another country, take the most inappropriate ones you can find
70. Uhm after kidnapping girl and blood trail is left behind, she will be injury free soon after.
71. Don't notice blood when looking near last known place seen, only men can do that
72. Who was able to trash bikes so easily
73. Women all over town have no problem (apart from annoying looks at husband)about a kidnapping spree going on in town from which they receive no profits, just less customers
74. Even though both girls are worth good money, only ever kidnap one.
75. Distrust neighbour completely until he shows picture of himself with a girl
76. You can speak perfect argentinian after 6 months
77. Jump out of a perfectly good boat to chase someone
78. Don't learn from your mistakes when one girl escapes, always tie up the next one the same way or not at all

reply

"76. You can speak perfect argentinian after 6 months" --> try Spanish?

reply

"this is not America."

hello???
Argentina is not America?
aaaalll right, America is only North America, ok then

reply

On 65. and 66.: The bike that was trashed was Ellie's. In the original, the psychopathic murderer broke the wheel of the girl's bike so that she could not get away and then murdered her. Here trashing the bike was meaningless since Ellie was already abducted while she was sunbathing. This is one example in which a remake simply takes scenes from the original without understanding the context.

reply

It's like they had that scene with the bus crawling away downhill on purpose, just to piss off the audience, so painfull to watch.

It's OK for a woman to go into a men's toilet, sit on a toilet seat, watch a guy take a leak, then get up and have a good long look at his penis while he's at the urinal..(!!??)

Can't believe no one mentioned that one..Has common decency become that alien a concept?! There's no excuse for rape ever, yet acting like a complete slut in a foreign country, and going to men's toilets to sit, and watch a guy piss?

I can't believe what I'm seeing..if a guy did that it would be the height of indecency..

There go the f'n double standards again..the ones fundamental feminist don't want to hear.

In real life she would be called a f'n trash harlot..or crack whore..or something befitting.

reply

#79. It's safe for me to go to Argentina, alone even, since I look nothing like these broads.

reply

80. Always read the threads before watching movies. In the case of "And Soon the Darkness", I'm uncorking a bottle of cheap wine, eating some snicky-snacks, and having a good laugh.

Thanks for a great thread! Best movie review ever!

reply

81. When in a foreign country and need to catch an early bus in the morning, definitely rely on a cheap $10 radio/clock/alarm instead of your own cellphone.
