To me, this movie is perfection.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Shiri Appleby is the cutest little embodiment of evil turned good girl demon-kicking Buffy clone, Elle. But I'm getting ahead of myself, you see Lilith was the first woman made by god as a companion to Adam. But she got all uppity evil feminist so god banished her from Eden. A clandestine order known as The Fath captures her but doesn't kill her, so now with amnesia (which is not really explained that well) Lilith (now Elle) is free to become the aforementioned Buffy-clone who has to battle with a mad scientist who got an injection of Lilith's blood. If the previous paragraph sounded hideously convoluted, that's because it is. The movie is also dull, generic, and for a film with a plot steeped in theology it doesn't seem to know a lick about it. This bargain basement lousy-CGIed movie was apparently a failed series pilot. All I can say to the fact that it didn't get picked up is a resounding Amen.My Grade: D-DVD Extras: Commentary by Writer/Director Bill Platt and Co-writer Chris Regina; and Stills gallery; video effects samples: before & after (it also has an "also available" selection that you would THINK would lead you to some trailers, but nope on DVD covers for other films, which is a stupid idea)DVD-ROM extras: Final shooting script and Deleted scenes transcript both in PDF format

This obvious pilot for an unproduced TV series features young Canadian actress Shiri Appleby as an amnesiac with some pretty incredible powers that must be put to use when a man-turned-flying demon is let loose on the world. The CGI is par for a TV job, and Appleby is OK as an amnesiac but hard to swallow as a superheroine. Familiar TV face Richard Burgi is along for the ride as Appleby's mentor, but he can do nothing to elevate this dreck above the mediocre level. We see way too much of the cartoonish flying demon right from the start, a bad sign. Also, the scenes where Burgi is training Appleby for battle are actually laughable. They are a bad copy of similar scenes in several other movies, most notably REMO WILLIAMS.

My husband and I both enjoyed the movie and the premise of it. It was a great depiction of the battle between good and evil with a surprising twist. The characters were both well written and well played. The plot and character development of the Lilith and Shaw to make you care about both of the main characters.Due to the way it was wrapped up at the end it would make a great TV series. Be great if a series could be done with the same main characters, but even if recasting had to be done. I think that fans of the movie would be drawn to watch and support a regular show if it was properly done, and presented in the true spirit of the movie.We would love to see a series based on this movie

from the beginning when she's all covered in muck up till chopping the creature's head off, I was totally into this movie of an amnesiac demon who becomes the "one" like Keanu and has to save us all. The myth was cool. It's great to see a movie where the woman takes charge. I'm not familiar with the girl (never saw Rosswell), but she was earning my respect.Didn't love her blue/purple hag look at first, but it grew on me.Richard Burgi was good in this, too. He seemed genuinely to want to take Lilith out at points, which is understandable, because she killed his kid. It was cool how dark and grim it was, how Lilith and Shaw had to deal with their own crap in addition to stopping the plague.It could have just made them all swell with one another, but this took it to a deeper level. I dunno, Darklight was a solid watch, it appealed to me.
