Dark Touch (2013)
Grim, and Vague: Carrie Meets Children of The Corn?
This movie jumped the track in the first half-hour. The viewer is left trying to assemble a convoluted pile of vagaries which (I guess)are supposed to establish some kind of basis for why Neve is such a troubled kid. Unfortunately, it seems to borrow bits here & there from "Carrie" and "Children of the Corn" and sews them together into a confused patchwork of incomplete inferences. The whole thing is just grim and confusing, but hey, don't let that stop you from finding out for yourself. But here's a chance to learn from my mistake.
First of all, the unseen force can't seem to make up its mind about who to target - Bad people? Good People?, Innocent Toddlers?, Unborn Babies? So that leaves the viewer unable to get a handle on where the film might be going. I think "it" finally decides that everyone is game. The film never settles into a good plot flow, it just makes no sense.
