Its a haunted house Movie allright. With 2 characters where it has been way to obvious to make then Total oppositie characters .
Some of the demons are scary , other ones more likely make you laugh.
IT has got Some scary moments, but I never got really drawn into the movie. Its a typical B Movie , but ive soon Manu worse.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. As far as small budget movies go, this was one of the better ones. Of course there are issues and the acting seems a bit off, but the script makes some sense at least until we get near the end. The sounds are balanced enough, there's no awesome visual effects but what there is is well enough done and doesn't look dirt cheap.
The worst thing about the movie is the ending. It gets a bit, well silly and felt a little rushed. But apart from that, the movie was entertaining and there were some comedic elements that actually weren't all that bad. The jumpscares were made with good taste and without supersonic booms that break your ears.

I wasnt expecting much from this but it was surprisingly good for a low budget movie.
Firstly it isnt a horror its a horror comedy.
I have always loved Ardgour house where it was filmed and my favourite Scottish Ghost Story movie LORD OF TEARS was also filmed there - If you havent seen it then do so; its a uniquely Scottish chilling ghost story harkening back to the days of Agatha Christie and reminiscent of a James Herbert novel like Ghosts Of Sleath. I dunno whether it was because this film was also filmed at the same location but it also had that old style feel to it which added to my enjoyment.
I thought the two main characters performed well although Paul Flannery stole the show for me , his acting was excellent and he was one of those guys who are naturally funny and looked more like Johnny Depp than Johnny Depp does himself these days.
This was quite an interesting film with gore akin to higher budget movies; a cross between the Evil Dead and House On Haunted Hill with laughs.
Very different and quite funny - It wont split your sides with laughter and it wont scare the pants off you but it will make you smile and the Scottish setting was as always very impressive - The location itself is always up for rental so if you fancy a spooky Scottish getaway I can highly recommend Ardgour house - take this along with you and watch it in the house as we did with both movies and you might just meet the real ghosts!

This is a fairly good B Movie. The characters are interesting and like able. The story line is enjoyable. The only complaint I have is the monster makeup is terrible. Like truly awful. If you can ignore that though you will probably like this movie.
Ghosts Of Darkness is a fun film to watch, don't expect anything innovative, it's a paint by the numbers horror that has a few scares. The two leads are very good and have a bit of on screen chemistry despite their characters differences.
It's best watched with a couple of glasses of wine and some popcorn. It's fun, not too violent and the story moves along pretty smoothly. It stayed away from being another found footage movie, not that I have anything against found footage movies, it's just their there are so many at the moment. It told a good story and even though the acting was at times stilted, it still did the job.
Don't expect too much, just settle back and enjoy.
