Movie Review

Grade: C- One of the more pointless releases in recent years, "Darkness" sat on the shelf for years for the obvious reason - it just didn't deserve to come to theaters.

Very good, by snik

June 20, 2004

I was able to see a copy of this film and I have to say it was very scary and very well done. The bleak darkness of the film and the mysterious goings on will have you looking over your back next time you enter a dark room. A definate must see film. One of the best of the genre to be made recently.
