There is nothing here that you haven't seen before. Its competently made but lacks scares or shocks. A disappointment from the director of Wolf Creek.

Well, this one was full of dick swinging and a lot of “alpha males” with 20-30 year younger wives, whom they all disrespect. Strong start. I did like the “Your god cannot help you now” though. I like how we can just blame the marital problems on demons from the third world, we don’t need to work on it or anything. And then it gets very convenient, what with the portal, and Mikey suddenly going from “wheeee I love my new friends” to “ok imma save you now”. So random.

The Darkness is a derivative horror film that’s not all that frightening. After returning from a camping trip a young boy starts exhibiting strange behavior that concern his parents, leading them to believe that he might be possessed. Starring Kevin Bacon, Radha Mitchell, and Lucy Fry, the film has a decent cast that gives solid performances. And the characters are especially well-written; particularly in how the parents workout and come to accept what’s happening to their son. However, the special effects are rather weak and the possession stuff is cliché. Yet while it has its problems, The Darkness is mildly entertaining and has its moments.

Wow that was just terrible. This whole family is just so damn obnoxious. I was really hoping the evil would just consume them all and set the rest of us free.

It's a slow-bulding story, with a great cast who unfortunately doesn't get a lot of moments to shine (although I think many will find Lucy Fry a nice surprise like I did!). The suspense is well done, and I did find the movie satisfactory overall. I mean, it's not amazing, it didn't m More

I think I was over-prepared to hate this based on the reviews, because though I will come right up and say that _The Darkness_ truly isn't very good, I actually had a fine time watching it. I won't go back to it, but I didn't have a particularly negative time here. I do wonder if may Greg McLean sho More

**When the ancient spirits set loose.**

Usually horror films are the most clichéd genre, especially when it comes to those scaring parts, all the films use the same sudden sound effects and disfigured human images with the strong makeup or the graphics. This film is nothing less than any of thos More
