I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Inspired by an ancient myth, Darklight stars Shiri Appleby as the immortal Lilith, long hunted by a secret society known as the Faith. Her true nature concealed by a powerful spell, Lilith lives as a 24- year-old woman with no memory of her ageless past. Now, the Faith's chief agent, William Shaw, must recruit Lilith and train her to use her mystical power, known as Darklight, for the good of humanity. So begins Lilith's heroic journey; to slay a deadly demon and come to terms with her own dark past. What i hated the most about this film except the fact that it was boring was the fact that you couldn't see anything at all and it reminded me a lot of AVP: Requeim but then again it's not like anything could save this abomination.

This obvious pilot for an unproduced TV series features young Canadian actress Shiri Appleby as an amnesiac with some pretty incredible powers that must be put to use when a man-turned-flying demon is let loose on the world. The CGI is par for a TV job, and Appleby is OK as an amnesiac but hard to swallow as a superheroine. Familiar TV face Richard Burgi is along for the ride as Appleby's mentor, but he can do nothing to elevate this dreck above the mediocre level. We see way too much of the cartoonish flying demon right from the start, a bad sign. Also, the scenes where Burgi is training Appleby for battle are actually laughable. They are a bad copy of similar scenes in several other movies, most notably REMO WILLIAMS.

Darklight is both underestimated and under appreciated. A mini series would have really been interesting. I found the film to be very captivating. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the film. If anyone knows more about how this film came into being, I would like to know more about it. So, I apologize if it seems I have an overly inquisitive comment section. Was this movie indeed a pilot for a series? How much real history of Lilith was incorporated into the movie? What was the timetable involved in its making? Did the movie originate with the Sci-Fi Network or NBC? How much was budgeted for the making of Darklight? Are there any plans to release Darklight on DVD or Video? Did Sherri Appleby give any interviews about what she thought of this project? Where would one go to get the answers to these questions?

Citizen Kane...No.But let's be honest here, we all know these films are produced on a shoestring, under ridiculously tight deadlines, probably in some foreign country......so as far as the low budget original Sci Fi Channel Features go, this is head and shoulders the best I've seen. Fast paced and exciting...it's a thoroughly entertaining comic-book ride.Much more stylish, intelligent and fluid than most Sci Fi Channel fare.In particular, I was impressed with the sharpness of the direction. The director, Bill Platt, seems to have a real feel for the genre, and a near encyclopedic knowledge of what's come before. I found myself repeated spotting clever visual allusions to great SF films of the past.I'm anxious to see what Mr. Platt does next. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see his name on big time features some time down the line.
