There have been a few films out there with this title, but this one revolves around the residents of a high-rise apartment block. When the lights go out they find themselves set upon by the big nasty beasties!
And that’s pretty much it. Nasty monsters dragging people away, clawing and biting at the flesh, with many a bemused and screaming bystander to echo their harrowing position.
It’s a video shot horror so don’t expect much from sound or picture quality. The idea itself has been used before but can sometimes be fun in the right hands. Back in the 80’s Lamberto Bava did this with his Demons movies, even setting the second one in an apartment block. The claustrophobia of a confined location does aid such a picture – but there are times when budget can really hamper your viewing pleasure as the film makers cannot back up their set up with some decent bloody interplay.
But for all it’s worth, The Blackout continues the effort for this type of picture. A night in entertainment for the easily pleased. And there is an ending that probably made the whole venture worthwhile as things don’t always have to end happily, or even with a last minute scare. Instead they find the depressing down note to play instead which is actually probably a good choice.
