Darkness Falls (2003)

Rate: 3
Viewed: 6/06

6/06: How many more times, and when will it be enough?

The Sixth Sense, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Boogeyman, Poltergeist, Friday the 13th, Halloween, The Ring...the list goes on and on. Darkness Falls is no exception. When I've seen a couple, I've seen them all. So, what's the point of making another one?

The promising introduction of Darkness Falls did raise my expectations a notch before falling flat on its face because everything has been so goddamned cliché, banal, and futile. I don't care about the characters. In fact, I'll feel better if they're dead. Some of the acting is decent, saving the film from being a complete turkey. But what villain? What horror? What story? Evil rises? Yeah, whatever.

All in all, Darkness Falls is an addition to the mountain of junk films ready to be dumped at the nearby landfill.
