“u0026quot;Dark Windowsu0026quot; tells the story of four friends — Tilly, Monica, Peter, and Ali. They are out for a ride one night and there is an accident and Ali is killed. The other three friends feel awful, especially Tilly, who was driving the car. After an uncomfortable situation at Aliu0026#39;s wake, Tilly, Monica, and Peter go out to Monicau0026#39;s grandparentsu0026#39; old house to spend a few days and blow off some steam. But strange things seems to be happening once they get there …u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Dark Windowsu0026quot; was a one of the great low-budget surprises that show up once in a while if youu0026#39;re a genre fan. Given the familiar storyline, I was just sort of hoping it would be serviceable but it was so much more that that. It lets its secrets unfold slowly and organically, and plays very cleverly on our expectations. It knows what we are expecting and then delivers something different.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTechnically, itu0026#39;s great — well lit and clear sound. We spend most of the film with just our main three characters and the acting is uniformly excellent among all of them. And it nailed the ending, playing out in a way that was totally unexpected to me and was far nastier and harsher than I anticipated.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRecommended without reservation.”
