The imaginative content of From the Dark makes for a somewhat unpredictable course, but that already covers all the positive points. Director Tom Zembrod looks to Lovecraft for inspiration, even though he has budget constraints. Some directors manage to overcome this with creativity and quality, but Zembrod's direct approach comes closer to pure clumsiness. The computer animations are designed in a particularly wooden way, the science fiction elements are very limited and the acting is severely substandard, which means that the unique character traits are never fully appreciated. The run-up is further littered with tired clichés and uninteresting nonsense, which further reinforces the toughness early on. The icing on the cake is that the event has no atmosphere whatsoever, so horror fans will probably be hungry quickly. It is certainly the case that the content has been conceived with an original eye, but it is hardly realized in this way.
