Five minutes into this movie and I was already hoping for a slow and painful death for the younger sister. Talk about BRAT! The older sister seemed to be intelligent, until she ends up driving in a "road" that is all a pile of dirt, that couldn't possibly be a real road to anywhere in the planet. Of course they get a flat tire??? How? Last I heard mud is not that sharp. To be honest, I decided to read reviews, glad I did. Younger sister vomiting on her older sister, (she didn't want to vomit on the floor???), is what I felt of doing although I don't have a sister. Needless to say, I was not about to continue with this waste of time.

Wow this British film is so amateurish. I don't know what camera in which this movie is filmed but it looks so dated.

It feels like a low budget TV movie made in the 1990s. Please avoid as the monster also look like it was taken from a computer game from that era or a cheap wannabe swamp thing. Ps this film is very dark but maybe it is done to hide the deficiency of this cinematography.

Two female characters with a contentious relationship, travelling alone at night on a lonely, deserted road in the middle of nowhere. A murderous creature stalks them. This basic premise applies to both "A Dark Path" and to "The Monster", but the latter is by far the better of the two movies.

Based on other reviews that I read here, I expected "A Dark Path" to be much worse than it actually was. The relationship between the uptight, authorative older sister and the smart alecky, free-spirited younger sister was carried off well enough by the two lead actresses. When their rental car breaks down, they don't do anything abysmally stupid, like splitting up and wandering off in the dark to find help. The tired old "Oh no, there's no cell service here!" ploy is used, though. "The Monster" managed to avoid falling back on this stale trope, and actually uses the fact that there IS cell service to add to the creature's body count.

As with the female lead in ""The Monster", there are emotional revelations between the two sisters in "A Dark Path", but it takes a lot longer for anything to actually happen in the latter than it took in the former, in terms of the creature in each movie. The creature effects in "The Monster" were much, much better.

"A Dark Path" isn't the worst monster/horror movie that I've ever seen, but it is much closer to the worst than it is to the best.
