25 years on, Vin Diesel's 'Pitch Black' still outshines every other Riddick film — and we think we know why

Vin Diesel reprises his role as Richard B. Riddick in the sequel to 'Pitch Black' It was the perfect marriage of character and star, and it feels unlikely the movie would have had the same impact had studio bosses got their way and cast Steven Seagal as the amoral (or is he?) escaped con who can see in the dark.

The film is a deftly constructed sci-fi horror with a killer premise and highly effective monsters.

The original story was written by horror specialists Ken and Jim Wheat .

It sits in the same rule-based sub-genre of sci-fi as "Tremors" and " A Quiet Place" Despite its R rating, " Pitch Black " was a big enough success for Universal to bankroll Diesel and Twohy 's return in the PG-13 " The Chronicles of Riddick ".
