Reception

Reviews

Ed Kennedy from The Backlot said, "Refreshing... a real thriller with a beautiful setting, georgeous actors with complicated relationships". [2] Timothy Junes of the Zizo Online commented, "'The Dark Place' is neither a masterpiece nor a monster of a film. It's refreshing to see where homosexuality is a given and no theme in itself. Entertaining". [3]
