Darkness Falls

All right, all right, I admit it, it was definitely better when I first saw it, but still, I feel Darkness Falls has some really cool elements but fails at other parts. I really liked the whole lore about the tooth fairy and the town of Darkness Falls; also, the creature design of her was pretty creepy, and I remember being really horrified by that. I think it still looks pretty cool and has some unique touches. But yeah, the rest sometimes lacks connection and stumbles aimlessly to the end. There are some movies like that where I feel underneath that mediocre execution rests something very exciting. For example Reeker (2005), Stay Alive (2006) or Cry_Wolf (2005). Those movies will still have a place in my heart because they showed me something different and brought me closer to things I enjoy.

While it will satisfy jump-scare junkies, Darkness Falls fails to add anything of worth to its shockingly short run time to please budding horror fans. It's silliness and stifled script however did bring a comedic overtone which raised my overall score by a few points if that tickles your fancy.
