Very Hitchcockian. This should be rated MUCH HIGHER than it is. I definitely recommend it!

I am a fan of this director

Wicked and twisted. I loved the visual style and the choice of black & white, a fairly unique choice for a movie of this kind. Great work from Carter, and was interesting to see Sean Young on screen again. Recommended.

"Darling" offers a killer performance from Lauren Ashley Carter but as fairly written and edited the film is, it's just as not. 5.8/10, C

I made a rotten tomatoes account just to comment on how bad this movie is.

Director: Mickey Keating Writer: Mickey Keating Stars: Lauren Ashley Carter, (Jug-Face), Brian Morvant, Sean Young,(Dune) Larry Fessenden. Mickey Keating's psychological horror tale Darling is a stylish piece of cinema with a spooky atmosphere. Presented in glorious, glossy black and white, the film follows a young woman (Lauren Ashley Carter) as she housesits a massive New York home where the previous tenant, also a young woman, committed suicide. Cooped up all alone, the woman begins to experience strange hallucinations that have deadly results. Lauren Ashley Carter is a revelation. Reminiscent of a mix of Catherine Deneuve in Repulsion and Audrey Hepburn at Breakfast at Tiffany's . Darling relies heavily on Carter's ability to convey emotion through her facial features, and she excels in doing so. She tells the story through her haunting stare and methodical movements in a way that makes dialogue almost unnecessary. The manner in which her eyes bulge when certain things set her off, or the way her movements slightly change whenever situations grow more and more tense is extremely impressive. Carter rises to new heights of performance here, carrying the story with a confidence and depth that captivates for the entire 78 minutes. The film is most certainly "art house horror", and a terrific headtrip of a flick. 9/10

Not bad. Moody. Short. Would watch again.

Never makes a good-faith effort to wrestle with its own pretentiousness. Bad acting, bad camera work, bad editing, bad script, bad choices all around.

This stylish psychological thriller is well-filmed in b&w. A young woman takes job as a house sitter in an elaborate ("haunted") dwelling. Walking in the neighborhood she encounters the man who raped her and begins her mental breakdown. He doesn't recognize her. She discovers where he lives and stalks him eventually getting him to come home with her. Reminiscent of "Ms. 45" and "Repulsion" the film is quite effective.

Greatly underrated, suspenseful and visually provocative.

Not totally sure what to make of this black & white "horror" movie. If its simply trying to be an old school artsy movie with a dark side, then it succeeded. But if its trying to be a haunted house horror that scares, it failed miserably. It has some visual delights but they aren't enough to overcome a derivative plot. The main character takes a job as a caretaker at a luxury NYC house that has a haunted past (someone tried to conjure the devil there and the previous caretaker threw herself off the roof of the building). As time passes she begins hallucinating and appears to be mentally ill (or the haunted house is just fucking with her). She goes on to commit a murder of someone she previously recognized who didn't know her. More dreams/hallucinations ensue. After opening a door to a room that was prohibited to her (because the conjuring took place there) she sees something that outright terrifies her. From there she goes a bit psychotic and eventually throws herself off the roof to end the movie, in a seemingly predestined outcome. Its artsy, stylish and not my thing.

Very Very Very very SLOW!!! Great Art School Film. Really fantastic use of black and white. Crazy Acid trip imagery!! Worth a watch. Oh by the way did I tell you it’s Really Really..............S L O W. Woman washing blood off her hands for 10 OCD Minutes. ROFL. OH BY THE WAY ..... Bajajaja

A horror shot in black and white containing sparse dialogue and very little in the way of effects (some blood and weird camera angles and lots of quick camera cutaways). Carter is actress enough to lend a huge creep factor, but the story is slim and any sense of logic or explanation is far from offered. Still, it kept my interest. A for effort. D for execution. I did enjoy seeing Sean Young back before a camera.

hmm; couldn't finish it. it's so slow & so boring -- i waited until the first kill, but the wait wasn't worth it so i shut it off. generally speaking, i do like artsy films, but i couldn't get into this one.

I really liked this very interesting and unique thriller/horror. It's filmed in black and white and set in the 60s (guessing). The cinematography is very well done and different, with a lot of flashes of light and hallucinatory images. I loved that part. The main actress was also very good. Overall I really liked it.

Watch for the cinematography, a great lead performance, and some not surprising but satisfying gore. This is a film school A+.

Literally the worst movie of all time. No character development what's so ever. Not to mention how annoying Darling was with those giant bulbs eyes, & her horrendous fake recreation of over dramatic gasping at absolutely nothing. Terrible terrible movie. Don't waste your time, I wish I hadn't.

Surreal art-house horror with some merit, but not always that galvanising.

a slow and plodding chiller. a woman is unaware of the dark secrets her apartment holds and becomes more and more disturbed.

Vähintäänkin outo. Taidepaukkuhan tämä oli. Tässä ei paljon dialogia ollut mutta ei kyllä ollut paljon väliäkään. Elokuvan tyylistä tuli kieltämättä ensimmäisenä mieleen David Lynch.
