The Darkness

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.

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.

This is more of an old school horror thriller, the narrative is split between two centuries, and it has all the ingredients for a horror fan like me is looking for ie changelings, possessions, witchcraft, demon and deception. All the casts had done a brilliant job, especially Amelia she just lit the scenes.

Considering its a low budget movie Director Tharun has done a good job. The plot is pretty deep, probably with a bigger budget it could have hit the marks for what it is I really enjoyed. So go check it out, its worth watching.

I have reviewed this based on the budget, scale and the production value.

Well the cover looked interesting and intriguing - mainly because of the drop dead gorgeous Charlize Theron clone Amelia Eve on the front but sadly this is where the excitement ends.

Very amateurish production with annoying sound effects; violin arpeggios to highlight the usual scary moments (of which there are zero), some really terrible acting from nearly all the cast with the exception of Amelia who did her best with a woeful and tedious script that has nothing new to add to the genre and of course we have the usual cliched ending in the car - deary, deary me, when are we going to see some originality in British ghost / horror stories.

I always review a film fairly, based on its budgetary constraints, along with the acting etc but this one is hard going and sadly a lacklustre 3 hatchets on the scary scale for me!

This is supposed to be scary? Whoever wrote the screenplay had no idea what he/she was doing. And the actors were recruited right out of a community college theater guild. Don't waste your time with this mish-mosh "horror" film.
