1.0 out of 5 stars
Yes, you guessed it, another bad review!, July 15 2004
This review is from: Darkness Falls (Special Edition) (DVD)
Instead of saying this movie was one of the worst films i've seen since S.I.C.K or HALLOW'S END, let's focus on what is good about the film...
1-The DVD cover is pretty good, looks scary.
2-The liner notes in the back make it look like a good horror film.
3-No name actors, which is great for a mainstream horror film because you never know who might die next.( besides the main actor and actress)
4-It's about a killer tooth fairy, pretty original idea.
5-I liked the special features especially the documentary on the real-life tooth fairy in that small town who gets killed and supposed to have put a curse on the people who live there.
6-And finally the trailer..looked promising, but decided to watch on Dvd when it came out.
So i guess we all know the outcome of what happened when i actually finished watching this film.

better than the previous year's similarly themed entry, Nov 8 2007
This review is from: Darkness Falls (Special Edition) (DVD)
Darkness Falls follows a somewhat similar plot line as the previous
year's entry in the genre,They,but with a few differences.One,Darkness
Falls has a fairly well fleshed out back story.Two,the acting is
generally fairly good.three,the monster has a reason for being,a
motivation for its actions.also,the monster has a weakness,which can be
exploited.the core storyline is descent for this genre.the movie is
better paced and much better edited.the monster itself is however,not
so great.the look of the creature isn't the problem.the problem are its
movements,which do not look authentic in some scenes.now,the characters
themselves--very little in the form of character development.pretty
much your stock horror characters.none too bright and reacting in ways
which real people(hopefully)would not.yet,strangely likable somehow.you
kind of take pity on them.suspense--there were some tense moments.there
was a fair amount of action.however,at times the film became
chaotic--lots of sounds and sights all at once,including the music.the
only reason i can see for this to fool the viewer into thinking there
is more going on,than there really is,while hiding the movie's
shortcomings.and now the ending.it does nicely resolve things.no cheap
setup for a sequel here. i think it's a better movie than They,but not
as good as Boogeyman .it has a few tense moments with a few decent
action sequences and a decent,straightforward ending without the usual
'unexpected'(but really expected))twist.my rating for Darkness Falls is
a 3/5

SUCKS, Aug 29 2004
This review is from: Darkness Falls (Special Edition) (DVD)
This movie really sucks because, first off, who would really name a town DARKNESS FALLS? This movie did not scare me, really, it does not"circle around The Ring." The Ring was so much scarier than this hunk of crap. It's obvious what will happen next. Seriously, Scream scared me more than this. What's your problem? People who think this movie sucks, you better be reading this. Sign up on Amazon and say how much this movie sucks compared to a piece of crap.
This movie was totally pathetic, it's screwed, wrong, and not scary. Even when someone rings the doorbell, surprises me more than this movie. Thank god I watched it on Movie Central, or I would have wasted $9.99!
