(Kirstin McLaughlin) is a young, beautiful, blonde college student.
Unfortunately, for her, the college campus is being plagued by murders that all
point to some kind of vampiric goings ons. Things get worse when Sarah meets her
new roommate, Lilith (Alexandra Ackerman). Lilith likes to only come out at
night, wear Goth style clothes and knows a little too much about vampires. The
only thing protecting Sarah is her faith and with each new attack, even that
becomes a little strained. And what about Lilith? Is she the vampire killer?
A Candle in the Dark is a fairly decent little film. Its one true saving
grace is its lead actress, McLaughlin. She comes across as a natural on camera
and seems to know her way around a low budget movie set. Some of the photography
manages to be creepy and well shot, but there is an overuse of this dark blue
filter throughout the flick that becomes more irritating than mood inducing. The
movie drags in spots and can become a little too talky, even during scenes where
there is a vampire attack going on! This is not a good thing. But, if it was
pared down any farther it would be a short film at best and slightly incoherent
as well. When I first went to watch this I mentioned that it sounded like an
Elton John song (not a good sign, either). Then my wife slapped me upside the
head and said that it was A Candle In The Wind, not A Candle in the Dark.
Dark? Wind? What's the difference? In the end both the song and this film did
little for me and are probably best avoided by anyone other then
the-naked-woman-with-blood-splashed-on-her, video rental crowd. There is nary a
boobie in sight and with the lead actress this is truly a shame».
