Dir: David Twohy
2000
***
The premise is simple. Darkness brings beasties out that want to kill you and 'would you believe it' just as our rag-tag crew land on a Planet without darkness, they experience as eclipse. It's the film version of Sod's law, the age old tale of solitude and being surrounded and very much like countless Vampire films that have come before. To its credit, this is an original and entertaining take on the classic situation. The characters are fairly well written for an action horror and it wasn't as predictable as it first seemed. It's rather good fun and a nice surprise back in 2000.
