Paul Fox takes the cake and falls flat into it with one of the limpest stalker terrors to ever frustrate an audience.

Speeds through its scant 80-minute running time with no muss, no fuss, and a surprisingly watchable demeanor.

The Dark Hours is a remarkably assured homage to psychological horror films from the sixties and seventies.
