Darkness Falls

Someone told me this was the scariest horror film he'd ever seen. I think that person should stay home more, and not rest his laurels on his movie reviewing skills.  I can't think of another horror film in the last 5 years that was worse than this one--and I don't want to.  The premise was interesting enough with its Ring-like introduction and legendary hooks.  A woman wrongly accused of being a childkiller returns from the grave to kill children as the Tooth Faerie, upon losing their last baby tooth. Maybe the first 30 minutes of the film were interesting with quite creepy visuals, but beyond that very nonintuitive leaps were made in the plot--one too many changes of heart and nicks of time--and I just viewed its remainder as a comedy.  After that shift in focus I liked it very much.

"beyond that very nonintuitive leaps were made in the plot--one too many changes of heart and nicks of time--and I just viewed its remainder as a comedy"

When horror flicks go bad, they reallllly go bad.

What does a National Breast Screening Programmer have to do with this plot?

What does a National Breast Screening Programm??er?? have to do with this plot?

Both are best in the dark?

I saw this movie it was so stupid. Not scary at all.

hmmmmmmm glad I got some insight on this movie. I was going to check it out. If it's that bad maybe (and I mean maybe) I'll watch it anyway and draw my own conclusion. But must admit they just don't make scary movies like they used to.
