The Darkness

When the ancient spirits set loose.

Usually horror films are the most clichéd genre, especially when it comes to those scaring parts, all the films use the same sudden sound effects and disfigured human images with the strong makeup or the graphics. This film is nothing less than any of those, but a bit too much in the first three quarters. Like they are keeping some suspense, but it was just dragging to extend the film length and what comes in the final quarter is actually the story with a twist. So when that revelation happens, you would probably lose complete interest on this. Because that's not the demons you're expecting after all the hype was created in the earlier segment.

The story was just okay, but it was well known to u...

I think I was over-prepared to hate this based on the reviews, because though I will come right up and say that The Darkness truly isn't very good, I actually had a fine time watching it. I won't go back to it, but I didn't have a particularly negative time here. I do wonder if may Greg McLean should stick to Australian stuff though, when you compare the quality of this and Jungle to both Wolf Creek movies and Rogue.

Final rating:½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didnt quite work as a whole.
