The Dark
(2005)
Awful.
18 January 2006
It's a confusing movie with a poor story. I felt I was watching the wrong movie when I stepped into the theater. It took me some time until I could realize what was really happening.
Plus, mentioning the Welsh mythology sounded more like an excuse to hook the story.
Although it contains some disturbing images, it is not scary at all. Well said: 'when a film has to relay on loud music and flashy imagery to scare people then the film isn't scary'. So, that's the whole truth about this movie. I expected something better.
I am completely disappointed.
