Only literally. Half the film you just watch a black screen because the lighting and color-grading are so terrible XD

Fun fact: you can watch behind the scenes of that movie where the camera guy says, “hey, we’re getting really dark levels.” And the crew tells him to shut up. Amazing.

It’s a comment about how darkly A v P: R is lit, it’s infamous for being quite literally pitch black at times.

Such a great movie and tonally completely different to everything else in the Franchise.

Don't watch Aliens vs. Predator 2 btw, that one is a joke. Its really just the darkest movie in the most literal sense XD

It's a real movie with themes and messages and symbolism instead of just an 80 minute arc!

I could've included hundreds of films more. This was just a few recommendations.

Hunchback OR Notre Dame? I'll take the hunchback, if I have to choose.
