Reviewer: Charity Bishop

I remember seeing previews for this in the theater and thinking nothing more of it. I assumed it would be rather dull and not worth my time. I was wrong.

Imagine yourself living in a world of complete darkness, apart from the power generated lights that illuminate the narrow streets of your underground civilization...Everyone must work, everyone must pull their weight, and everyone is increasingly concerned about the number of blackouts there have been of late. ...explorations of the various undocumented tunnels on a map will turn up a dark secret.. or that the key to humanity's survival is in a box in the back of a dark closet...
