Stephanie (Amber Heard) and Ellie's (Odette Yustman) vacation to an exotic village in Argentina is a perfect 'girl's getaway' to bask in the sun, shop and flirt with the handsome locals. After a long night of bar-hopping, the girls get into an argument, and Stephanie heads out alone in the morning to cool off. But when she returns, Ellie has disappeared. Finding signs of a struggle, Stephanie fears the worst, and turns to the police for help. But the local authorities have their hands full already - with a string of unsolved kidnappings targeting young female tourists. Skeptical of the sheriff's competency, she enlists help from Michael (Karl Urban), an American ex-pat staying at their hotel. Together they go on a frantic search for Ellie, but Stephanie soon realizes that trusting his seemingly good intentions may drag her farther from the truth. (Anchor Bay Entertainment)

Se o visse no cinema, ficaria aborrecido. Como um DVD de filme B é um preenchimento da noite adequado, se gostar de vegetação, natureza selvagem sul-americana e de os ver no ecrã. O diretor não controla a lógica do comportamento dos personagens, e na cena de se esconder atrás dos pilares, por exemplo, nem as leis triviais de perspetiva de imagem e edição. E Karl Urban literalmente fica muito mal ao filme. Há anos que não vejo um papel tão terrivelmente representado e tão entorpecido. Felizmente, Odette e Amber, que não só são bonitas, mas também atuam surpreendentemente bem, como também mais ou menos salvam filme. Umas melhores 2*.

This film doesn’t have much to do with horror. I didn’t feel any strong need to turn it off while watching, which could be said to be a positive rating. Two very pretty girls are travelling across Argentina, one of them is kidnapped and the other starts looking for her, three other characters get mixed up, then there is some weird interaction, and the end. The way these few characters casually run into each other (or miss each other) it’s quite funny, though unintentionally so (in this sense, the best part is the fifteen minute wander around the ruins of some sort of abandoned “big city”). Awful, though, to be honest, I wasn’t bored. In any case, I don’t recommend it.

Another remake of an original that I haven’t seen. ASTD most of the time seems like a well-filmed tourist guide to Argentina. Two engaging cyclists, the enchanting Odette Yustman, who has to portray some dummy, poor thing, and all the work is left up to responsible beauty, Amber Heard, they wander the countryside enjoying themselves until, of course, something happens. It’s actually a routine thriller, interesting only because of those two beauties already mentioned above. Then there is a terribly casted (and blond!) Karl Urban, a few twisted twists and illogical situations leading... well... nowhere. This movie can be recommended only to hardcore nature lovers or fans of one or both of the ladies in the leading roles.

The American-Argentine-French production And Soon the Darkness is terribly predictable right from the beginning. It is immediately clear who is going to be the son of a bitch and who is not. However, at the same time, it is incredibly drawn out and drags, which it tries to make up for in the last twenty minutes or so when the pace suddenly becomes frantic. However, the end cannot redeem this movie.
