    From Darkness could have been worthwhile but as it stands, its just mediocre. Perhaps its biggest shortcoming is its lack of true direction. Its story moves its focus in a way that robs it of tension and a clearly articulated, meaning. What remains isn't terribly engaging or even all that frightening. Its a shame too, as the core premise has real scare potential. Moreover, its production values are reasonable, as are the performances, from the cast. In summary, a horror film that could have been quite good had it had a simpler, more direct focus that built towards something worthwhile in terms of storytelling and associated scares. As it stands, From Darkness is not awful but its hardly memorable, either.

Cheat

On the surface it's believed to be another urban legend - a supernatural being from the afterlife is violently killing anyone who cheats on their significant other in the small college town of Silvercreek, Pennsylvania. But the town's unusually high suicide rate is finally convincing both locals and college students that everything is not as it seems. When Maeve - a female college student - sleeps with Charlie, the married man of the host family she is staying with, both sense the deadly curse is closing in on them. Unable to get anyone to believe them, Maeve and Charlie seek out a local history student to help find answers and figure out a way to defend themselves. It all comes undone, however, as several people are horrifically killed by the savage being - one-by-one at a rapid pace. Eventually, Maeve, Charlie and the few survivors band together in an attempt to defeat the monster once and for all.
