A Dark Song has more of a horror feel to it than actually being a horror film. Its finale is rather philosophical or even metaphysical, which, I must admit, didn't quite do it for me. Before then there was potential for what could have been a good psychological drama, but that ultimately didn't happen. Still, it's definitely a film that can be watched without doing you any harm.

Some Irishmen with no budget made an attempt at occult psychology based on two simple characters. The long wait for the ghostly adrenaline rush is filled with their interaction as an incongruous pair who, locked up in a secluded house for several months, gradually get to know each other and slide into frustration to the point of madness. The creative direction is okay, the characters’ behaviour is natural and on the level. Though the film isn’t boring and keeps the viewer curious about what will happen next, the later handling of the psychological motifs that the filmmakers should have highlighted is inadequate, with an unsatisfying and naïve result.
