Reviews:
“For much of the film the killer’s identity is shrouded in mystery but once the curtain is pulled back the results are even more devastating than you can imagine. Shot in the Dark does not pull its punches, with its violence certainly not for the squeamish amongst us. It’s unsettling, twisted but so compelling.” Bloody Flicks
“The film alternates from a sensitively moving tone to a bloody tension […] This is a low-budget film, but not once did it look like any corners were cut. The unhurried nature of the project also gave them the time to really build the little community with beautifully written characters constructed from many assembled moments.” Horror Obsessive
“Shot in the Dark is a well put together film and at times was completely gripping, a strong score helped for this. Although the blood and gore is dingy and dirty, I was happier watching the lead deal with his life and this concludes in a satisfactory and compelling way.” Nerdly
