    • Trivia
      The house (exterior) used in the film was the same house used as the funeral parlor/main house in 'Six Feet Under'
    • Goofs
      The outside of the house is covered in graffiti yet the inside is pristine, not even dusty or cobwebby, even though the house had been abandoned for more than 20 years.

    This wasn't a horror movie, it was a pile of garbage consisting of smaller piles of garbage
    This movie was a struggle to sit through. Before i continue I want to make it clear i'm not gonna trash this movie for the heck of it, i'm usually pretty good at giving movies the benefit of the doubt (I watched "The last air bender" 3 times). I have watched a lot of horror movies, some good, some bad. This was without a doubt one of the worst ones yet.

    The story was bad, the acting was bad, the script was bad, the cinematography was bad, the props were bad and, the special effects were bad.

    Darkness rising had a total of 2 scary/Creepy scenes with a combined length of 45 seconds (and that's generous). There are so many of the plot devices that just goes unexplained, most of them actually. They try to explain it towards the end of the movie but fail horribly, partly because the acting and script is so bad it's hard to actually listen. Oh, and i have never seen a weaker character in any other movie, about 30-40 min into it, the main character, Madison, starts to cry and LITERALLY does not stop for the next 45 min, every line she has is said crying and she is basically helpless and just screams for her boyfriend, Jake, to help her and the ONE time he asks for her help, she hides (while crying).

    Frankly the only good thing about Darkness rising was the credits, great roll speed, great font and font size, great spacing and fantastic spelling.

    Please do not waste time and money on this.
