The Darkness

No pun intended - and as the rating suggest maybe not the compliment the movie might aim for. Still I do like the main actress a lot and overall I would not put too much blame on the actors (you may have seen her in other stuff, like a Flanagan show).

Still this is as predictable as it gets and while it has many scares, not really any of them work the way they should. Yes the jump scare thing will make you shudder once or twice and yes the effects are quite nicely done. But the real question is, is it enough for you to be fully entertained by what you get served? I would argue not - but ultimately it will boil down to your own suspense of disbelief.

I don't know why I put myself through this. Time after time, watching movies with really low IMDB scores, in the search for a missed gem.

This was terrible. It had no redeeming qualities.

I keep saying it and I'll continue to say it: a recipe for disaster. For the first 40 minutes it zoned me out so hard I felt like my mind had been erased. This is supposed to be horror, yet I felt like I was watching a time piece love story movie. I've seen better acting in a pre school play. The only thing this was good for was making me sleepy.

Nothing to be afraid of. Its a film about witchcraft that travels through the familytree of surtain individuals, shown in the film by plentyfull flashbacks to the past, showing how and why , and a manifestation that heritage is reknown for the fact that blood is thicker than life, and water of course, and the evil spirits within this plot of irish sinisterism might be sufficient for the weakhearted superstitious believer in the spiritual darkness of irish witchcraft folklore...

i have waited before, and are still waiting for some kind of scary business from these parts of the world, but cant seem to find the right spot to dig, other than say the acting are pretty theatrical, the special effects of peoples telepathic narssissistic hoovering above the actual level of abilities makes it a cheesy show of slow and everlasting dehorrified drama.

To the positive can be mentioned that the musical score are pretty fine at times, sound effects quite precise, and some of the filming are extreme steady at the same time quite bold and experimental, so heir heir to them running the camera anhd the railpusher and dollygripper as well as the focus puller.

But what we all can declare after watching ''dorcha'' aka the darkness is that the blond dame aka the witch do spell beams of beauty to the silverscreen, well worth her looks, for the grumpy old man that is not enough, ill go for the brunettes, and just a 4 with a tiny recommend mostly for the filming.

This movie was a mess from start to finish. When it was finally over, you are glad it's over, but have no idea what happened. I watched the movie repeating certain sections and I still could make no sense of it. The acting was very week at times. Maybe you can watch it and explain it to me.
