The Darkest Hour (Chris Gorak, 2011)

Take four young Americans living it up on a night in Moscow and add an invasion by invisible aliens who pulverise people on contact. Leave to ferment. The Darkest Hour is produced by the director of Night Watch and Day Watch and although there are no plot similarities, the tone is very much the same ilk of horror viewed through flippant eyes. Regrettably, considering that this is what sets its stall out to do, the film does not scare with any great degree of success. Once the aliens have wiped out most of the millions of Muscovites overnight, they really should be capable of dealing with gormless tourists in a thrice. Blah.
