Oh, good one!

Pitch Black, in particular, is one that is hard to explain to anyone who didn't see it under ideal circumstances.

I feel like folks ask me:

"Isn't that just another dark sci-fi edgelord apocalypse movies?"

I mean, technically, I guess, yes - but it's so well done that it becomes something more.

I used to tell people it's a movie that switches genres halfway through. Movie leads you to believe you know who the bad guy is, convincing you it may be a sci-fi slasher film. Then the sun(s) go down. Now it's an entirely different type of horror film. It really is a unique fun movie and I have yet to find another one similar.
