Anyone heard anything about Darkness Falls?

I saw it awhile ago on PPV. My friends were telling me that it was really scary and whatnot but after I saw it I was fairly...unimpressed.

Its not a bad movie, I just found it lacking in the same way most every mainstream horror movie recently has been; they just really are not scary. Sure you can make someone hop in their seat when you have something pop out of the screen all of a sudden buts that not really scary, thats just shock value...

Spoofs of scary/horror movies > all however!

I didn't find it scary either....I was unimpressed, but I haven't seen a quality scary movie in a long ass time.

I miss those old horror-movies...

They just don't make any good these days, just this Scream crap and i know whatcha did last winter stuff..

Looks like the "modern" horrormoviemakers are a bit fraid to try totally new ideas.

Yeah thats the problem Grakk, movies like Scream and I Know Whatever were just horrible and served only for young actresses with large assets to run around dark alleys with guys in trench coats following them and helped ruin any future scary movies. One of the only scary/horror movies I have seen recently that I actually liked was the American version of The Ring. While I did not find it all that scary I really liked some of the story elements and the fact that it was different from the normal movies in the genre when it came out.

It's because of movies like Scream and the rest that there are some really funny spoof movies out there like Scary Movie and thats about the only good reason I can think of for them to exist.

I thought the only good part of Darkness Falls was the first couple scenes. Wasn't too impressed.

i snuck into this before when i got to the theatre way early for what i really wanted to see,

the begining seemed promising, but other than that, i wanted my money back..

Seemed like a decent movie to me, but I didn't have to pay anything for it since my roommate bought the DVD. The only thing that really bothered me about it was the predictability just like someone mentioned about Scream earlier I think.

The Tooth Fairy herself was a cool concept, but the overall movie was lacking something...like more than a 1 dimensional plot.

I saw the bootleg last month... like I said,,,was decent, but not an amazing flick....worth the rental, I figure. It is very much like the American adapted 'The Ring' as well as Wes Craven's 'They'.

Scary Movie wasn't that funny.

Bottom line? Is this movie worth the rental or purchase of the DVD?

Boogahz · Post by **Boogahz** » July 31, 2003, 12:38 am

Rental yeah, purchase....like I said, my roommate bought it so I didn't pay a thing. Not a movie I think I would be adding to my collection.

I thought it was horrible, so is "They". Lame lame movies. Were completely un-scary and boring.

unimpressed by both this and "the ring" they both lacked something

Previews looked good.. movie wasn't. Rental at best.

Last movie that got under my skin was watching a grainy version of Blair Witch Project on my computer in the dark for the first time before it came out in theaters. This was before everyone know it was fake, and it was the butt end of a billion jokes.. Joke about it now, but when it *first* came out - it was creepy.

Its not a bad movie

Id heartily disagree with this statement, it was bloody terrible.
