Dark Harbor (1998)
6/10
"Knife on the water" Hollywood version.
3 September 2023
I've been wanting to watch this for quite awhile since I really liked "Knife on the water". Dark Harbor is an obvious remake of the classic Polanski film so it's impossible not to make comparisons. The characters are much less interesting primarily because the tension that is created in the small confines of a boat doesn't really translate to an island. Rickman and Reedus put in convincing performances but something just doesn't seem right with the chemistry which may be intentional. The "surprise " ending caught me off guard only because the film was made 25 years ago. That's before such "twists":became almost mandatory for Hollywood films. It's a good film that will hold your interest but doesn't compare with the original.
