Days of Darkness is a smaller zombie movie that tries to mix survival horror with dark humor. However, it leans heavily on its low-budget style. So while it has some interesting moments, it does not always come together smoothly.
Synopsis:
The story takes place during a zombie outbreak, where a group of strangers ends up trapped inside a diner. At first, they try to stay calm and figure out what is happening. However, the situation quickly becomes tense.

As the group deals with the threat outside, problems begin to form inside as well. Different personalities clash, and trust starts to break down. Because of that, the tension comes from both the zombies and the people trapped together.

The movie focuses on how the group reacts under pressure, rather than just the action outside.

Summary:
The setting works well for the story. A diner is a simple but effective location, and it keeps the focus tight. Because of that, the tension feels more contained and personal.

There are also moments where the humor helps break the tension. The movie does not take itself too seriously all the time. So it creates a mix of horror and lighter moments that can be entertaining.

In addition, the idea of focusing on group dynamics is solid. Watching the characters react to stress adds another layer to the story.

The biggest issue is the execution. The pacing feels uneven, and some scenes drag while others move too quickly. Also, the acting and dialogue can feel inconsistent, which makes it harder to stay fully engaged.

Days of Darness has a decent concept but struggles with consistency. It is not a must-watch, but it can still be enjoyable if you like indie zombie films. Just go in with the right expectations.
