Review of Darkness

Darkness (2002)
1/10
When there is a ghost in the house you get the #%*$ out!
1 January 2004
Another movie where a white family should have taken Eddie Murphy`s advise, I would move out of a house if you found foot and hand prints on the ceiling. This movie was boring and predicatable. For some reason the director thought intolerably long shots of swings in the rain would be scary. I was hopeful at the beginning with the quick cuts scary prelude (ala Seven) of the murder of 6 children, but the movie is just a rehash of a number of other better movies The Shining and The Believers. It even steals the premise of The Believers but with less of an explanation of why things are happening.

Oh and the acting....ugh, the dad, my God I thought he was the guy from those instant coffee commercials that were popular a few years ago and the mom is no better, she is always to tired to notice the lights turn on and off or that her son is being bruised when he sleeps or there the foot prints on the ceiling.

This movie sucked.
