Pitch Black was an epic, simple action/sci-fi flick that showed the world just how much ass Vin Diesel could kick. The answer is a lot. This film delivered much more than I anticipated, providing an exciting and thrilling viewing experience. It did an excellent job of merging the creature aspect of horror with the psychological side of the same genre. The effects do not look dated, and continue to thrill viewers like myself to this day.

The first film in the franchise starts off incredibly strong by giving us an awesome action, horror movie. While the plot may be incredibly simple, the film is still actively engaging and features ton of cool moments. Vin Diesel shows off his acting chops as Riddick, creating a complex antihero who is incredibly fun to watch.
Cole Hauser is great as Boss Johns, giving us a character who serves as a great opposite to the Riddick character. While the effects of the creatures may look a little dated to some, the movie is still a blast to watch and will for sure entertain people. |
