10 Movies That Are Almost Too Dark to See (Literally) According to MovieWeb
show list info
"Have you watched a movie recently that made you turn out the lights, just so you could see what was going on? Maybe you even had to wait until nighttime to watch it. Cinematographers have been making movies relatively darker in their visual storytelling as a tool to create tension and build a more realistic, even suspenseful atmosphere, setting the mood for the film and leaving viewers lurking in the shadows. This technique has been used more and more for the past 10 years. with the advanced technology and the possibility to shoot films digitally, it is way easier to alter the lights for creative purposes or to film something with stale lighting and leave that for post-production to fix. This can work nicely in a theater room, but sometimes when we're watching in our living room, it does not satisfy the viewer or look the way the director intended. Let's see some of those movies that made us close the curtains and turn down the lights." - movieweb.com
