It never gets
old watching a movie about someone facing a shocking event that takes a toll on
their mind until they finally lose it. Super Dark Times starts with a
well-put-together introduction of the characters at play, and it grows from
there into an explosive thrill, full of suspense. It is one of those movies
that when you see it, you keep wishing it drags longer.
This thrilling
drama is about the tale of four friends, set in the ’90s. Two of them are best
friends, Josh and Zack. The two are also friends with another duo, Daryl and
Charlie. The four are often seen hanging out together, and one day, Josh takes
them to his place to show them some of his brother’s gear. This includes
nunchaku, a samurai sword, and a bag of weed.
While the sword
was more thrilling to the rest, Daryl was more interested in the bag of weed,
as he had never smoked before—he was excited and curious about how the
experience would feel. Josh, not wanting to get into trouble with his brother,
tried to get Daryl to drop the weed, as they had promised to have fun with the
sword. Daryl pretended to drop it but secretly took it with him as they all
went to the woods to toss milk cartons in the air and cut them with the sword.
While looking
around, Josh saw Daryl smoking the weed and got upset. A scuffle broke out
between the two. Zack did his best to pull them apart, succeeded, and gave the
weed back to Josh to take home. Daryl, behaving uncontrollably, went after
Josh, which led to a tragic moment.
This happened
somewhat early in the movie, which made me wonder what path the story would
take from there. The direction it went was a little surprising, though some of
the stops along the way were expected.
The tragic event
weighed heavily on Zack, who began having nightmares and difficulty sleeping.
He tried to talk to Charlie, but Charlie didn’t want anything to do with him.
Zack was left alone and confused about what to do next, and his friend’s
irrational behavior only made him more uneasy.
Then, another
student gets murdered, and Zack’s uneasiness goes overboard. He doesn’t know
what to do, and his friends are all distancing themselves from him.
Super Dark Times is
a fun movie to watch, and it will stay memorable long after you’ve seen it.
