The title refers to a town as well as a state of mind. Neither is worth a detour.

So bad it's almost painful. Skip it.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 22, 2010

It begins with not one but two prologues; one character turns up out of nowhere, his introduction no doubt left on the cutting-room floor; and the paltry 85-minute running time includes 15 minutes of end credits.

| Feb 26, 2007

A mish mash of horror-movie clichs.

| Feb 26, 2007

The kind of movie that gets laughs entirely unintentionally.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 30, 2006

All semblance of plausibility is extracted, leaving a cast of 온라인카지노추천 actors to struggle with a plot with more gaps than an eight-year-old's grin.

Oy, how it falls.

| Sep 26, 2005

The characters are empty, the performances wooden, and of course, the grave little kid is omniscient.

Darkness fell along with my eyelids, during this dire by-the-numbers horror film.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 8, 2003

Call it a one-star film warranting a two-and-a-half star review mainly for keeping a tired film critic partially amused. It might not be a recommendation, but it's the best I can do.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 19, 2003

This is a self-consciously silly, completely disposable multiplex movie that does its best to deliver its fair share of chills while struggling to keep a straight face.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 28, 2003

While it took three screenwriters to come up with Darkness Falls' countless variations on 'Stay out of the dark!,' many more may have been necessary to provide an interesting plot or developed character.

Do you really need me to tell you how scary this horror show isn't?

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 31, 2003

This is horror-flick boo-ya at its most rote.

| Jan 28, 2003

The terrible acting, the awful pacing, and laughable special effects make the horror of watching this movie all too unintentional.

Full Review | Original Score: D- | Jan 27, 2003

There are occasional flinch-inciting moments, and there's even a pretty good sense of humor at work, but for the most part Darkness Falls is run-of- the-mill and derivative.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 26, 2003

Lackluster thriller.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 26, 2003

Like something salvaged from Stephen King's wastebasket.

| Original Score: D- | Jan 25, 2003

A truly awful and extremely loud scareflick.
