The Conspiracy of Dark Falls

Go to any primary school, literally any one you like, and watch their Nativity play and I promise you will have seen better acting than at any point is this absolute garbage atrocity. Some of the blame certainly goes to the ridiculously poor writing, but the delivery of lines is the worst I have ever seen in any movie in my life.

As for the plot, well there is one I guess so that's something. People go missing, people investigate, and nonsense ensues. Plus something about aliens.

The fact that this was advertised as along the lines of X-files and Da Vinci Code is beyond a complete joke. Avoid!

Dreadful. Awful, stilted dialogue, poorly scripted, cliched characters - angst driven writer, flirty coffee shop assistant, wooden bar staff, feisty female investigator from the department of conspiracy. It's no surprise you probablyhaven't seen any of the cast in other productions.

Plot - angst ridden writer recovering from split with girlfriend goes to mysterious small town of Dark Falls, finds out that his geologist father disappeared there years ago & that's not the only strange thing that's happened in the years since a mysterious (but unknown outside of the village) meteor shower. Joins up with feisty investigator and meets up with coffee shop assistant who knew his disappeared father.

Be warned, you'll never get this time back.

Dark Falls sounds like somewhere in America but this is a British Film set in Britain where it will probably stay and be forgotten and never mourned! I tried it for thirty minutes but realised it was absolute rubbish and not worth wasting any more time on. None of the participants (I can't call them actors) were any good. I think they had had their vitality drained out of them just before filming began and were in a state of apathy and lethargy.

I couldn't watch any more and didn't really care what happened to anyone.

This film was described as being similar to The X Files which I loved to watch. Don't be fooled by this statement!

Watched it to the end in the forlorn hope the story might redeem the film. It didn't. The acting was like a really bad high school production - not one of the participants had any acting ability. The diction was stilted & the script was simply appalling. The "actors" weren't believable. The story was just dire, completed nonsense. People randomly dying "of natural causes" for no reason. Any nod to "Straw Dogs" was just an insult. I watched this on Prime because it was heralded as of the X Files stable. Run time of 1:42:44. Don't waste 1:42:44 of your life like I did. This isn't worthy of any stars.

So, quite a few critics on here with a heavy hand and a swift boot heading in the direction of the producer.

I really enjoyed this story. Yes the acting could be a little questionable. And the pacing could have been improved but how do you make a film like this on an incredibly tight budget?

I really did enjoy the story and the locations wherever that might have been. If anyone knows please do let me know I could use a visit.

A little more attention to detail about the security services but would have been a bit of a bonus. Having said all that, it's nice to have a mystery in the UK without the glitz of Hollywood and it's formulaic approach to keeping the oiks passivated with, rather paradoxically, fear and uncertainty. Overall a jolly good mystery and thank you to all those involved.
