Grimerlana Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Ryanm128 I have to say probably the worst film i have watched in years. The story was viable but the editing,production and watch ability were nothing short of Diabolical. I was really shocked by the quality of actors like Tara Fitzgerald would even consider being in this failed experiment of a movie but times are hard i suppose. If anyone has considered watching this please don't waist 90 minutes of your life because you will never get them back. Overall a disaster of a movie which if made correctly and the right editing could have been enjoyable,but this was nothing more than a washout. I advise not to waste your time.
mismerize What a waste of time watching this. Who directed this, no wait was there a director...............And who edited it...... Just when you think it couldn't go any slower, oh but it can, oh it can. Um, it never picked up.......................... It was all over the place. Reaction to certain situations were slow as well......................... This movie was just awful........................................... A huge waste of my time. .................. So many mistakes in this movie....................................... There was NOTHING worth while to even mention...................... Why they released this crap is beyond me.
breaandmelsteele I agree this movie can be a little confusing but if you love "The turn of the screw", then this movie will make perfect sense and you'll most likely love it. I do agree, it's not a movie for everyone and if you compare it to todays horror standards, it won't hold up. Just to give anyone who hasn't seen it an idea of what the movie is like, imagine a classic black and white horror movie that was remade by David Lynch (Lost Highway). It's a bit creepy, often makes no sense, you get the feeling that your simply watching a person lose their mind, but you're watching it from their point of view. Thats the best way I can think to describe it. Enjoy!
Dragoneyed363 I was walking past In A Dark Place one day at a rental store and I saw Leelee Sobieski on the cover of the film. It looked something similar to recent movies such as The Return and The Grudge, which I thought both of those films were very satisfying, even though this ended up being nothing like them really, so I decided to give this movie a try.At first, it looked really cool, when I put it in that is. The first near hour or so were fine, just fine, nothing special, but I was enjoying the build up and performances to an extent. Then, it took a turn for the worst. Everything started going horribly wrong and as the film dragged on I became more depressed, and more depressed with how the outcome of the film was turning out. The storyline just gets so ridiculously poor and overrated, and everything they had built up with mildly entertaining values were thrown out the window near the end of the film. Why, how, Leelee, I thought you were great! What made you take part in this movie when you saw how the character development is demolished in the last half hour, or did you even notice? Sure, there was some stuff I found in the movie that was entertaining, I have already stated that, but I felt as if my insides were going to explode from how horrible the last half hour of the film was and how horrifically boring and inane Sobieski and everyone elses' character became. If you love Leelee Sobieski enough, avoid this movie, because I really was expecting more from her and the movie itself seeing as how I enjoy her as an actress. I'm sure her heart will thank you if you don't watch this, for now every time she hears about her role in this film, as often as that probably isn't, I bet she falls to the ground and bursts into tears. . .
