TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

paulclaassen The film suffers from way too many plot flaws and repetitive dialogue. I mean honestly, how many times must they say "stay in the light"?? The film has some great visuals, though. Apart from the forced scares thanks to cats and music, the film offers very few thrills and chills. There are better films of the same genre out there.

sauron2637 The plot of this movie immediately caught my attention. Sadly the execution of Darkness Falls had some major flaws that ruined most of the film for me. While the opening scene and first encounter with the dark entity was interesting and unnerving. Further scenes failed to be scary at all. Also I found the monster's looks dull and ridiculous.Acting was meh, atmosphere was meh, everything was meh.

view_and_review Legend has it that 150 years ago, in the town of Darkness Falls, Matilda Dixon would give a gold coin to kids for their lost tooth. After a fire burned her home and part of her face she became sensitive to light and would only move about during the dark with a porcelain mask. Two children went missing and the townsfolk blamed her and burned her alive. While being burned she cursed the town so that whenever a child lost his/her last tooth she would come back to kill that child.The story is chilling and so was the movie. I was a prime target for this movie, not because of the tooth fairy aspect, but because I was terrified of the dark as a child. The spirit of Matilda Dixon has an aversion to light so she can only strike in the shadows of darkness. So light good, darkness bad. Pretty much my core beliefs as a kid.There were a few inconsistencies with the movie but nothing too egregious. The movie had me on edge and the flying female Phantom of the Opera was a good bogeyman. Sometimes a movie is more visceral to some rather than others. "Darkness Falls" really had me.

jessegehrig Nope. Movie about monster hiding in shadows works on paper not on film. Cause whatever fabulous ideas were laid upon the page they could not be brought out into film. Instead its a horror movie where the bad-guy is the dark. Seems like a childish premise but it could work, I'm not going to take that away from the writer of the screenplay, but hey dude, they don't do it workable, they do it stupid. It seems like a premise that could play out well with some humor, but no, no , its like really serious, y'know, like somebody was all like " No! This is really important! Were gonna do another take and this time...FOCUS!" Just a great big hunk of crap.
