The Dark is a very confusing horror movie that can't decide if it's a killer movie or an alien movie. John Bloom plays a monster that shoots lasers out of his eyes and tears people's heads off , Bloom who also played Frankenstein's monster in Dracula vs Frankenstein and part of the incredible 2 headed transplant . The cast includes William Devane , Cathy Lee Crosby, Richard Jaeckle, Keenan Wynn, Casey Casem, and Phillip Micheal Thomas ( Miami vice) the original director was Tobe Hooper who had a different vision of the plot not involving an alien , John Bud Cardos took over probably because Edward D Montero wanted to cash in on the success of Alien , released the same year. The monster shooting laser beams looked like they were added at the last minute. It's still an enjoyable little b movie. Not great .
