Against the Dark is a 2009 American action horror film starring Steven Seagal and directed by Richard Crudo.

[1] In a post-apocalyptic world, destroyed by a disease, which turns infected humans into beings strongly resembling vampires, Seagal plays Tao, the leader of a squad of ex-military vigilantes who are attempting to find and rescue a group of survivors trapped in a hospital.

Meanwhile, Cross (Linden Ashby) tries to prevent Lieutenant Waters (Keith David) from unleashing a bombing raid on the hospital.

Rob Hunter of FilmSchoolRejects.com says that although the film could have been entertaining, "the idea and the execution are worlds apart" and questions the strange decisions of the survivors.

Hunter praises Tanoai Reed as the one bright spot of the film, delivering top-notch fight scenes, even if his acting could do with improvement.
