The Big Picture
- Shocking Dark shamelessly plagiarizes from James Cameron's Terminator and Aliens to sell itself as a knockoff version of the popular films.
- The film combines elements from both franchises, but fails to captivate with wooden acting, campy tone, and poor dialogue.
- Despite its flaws, Shocking Dark does have some original and engaging elements, particularly with its post-apocalyptic Venice setting and unique-looking monsters.
