Leave your thoughts about The Darkness.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA stinker...the sort of schlocky mess that gives horror movies a bad name. |
| PajibaRebecca PahleWe get Radha Mitchell, surrounded by Pottery Barn furnishings and moping, and Kevin Bacon conducting a valiant effort to keep himself from falling asleep. |
| Screen It!Jim JudyI mean really, what could have convinced Bacon and Mitchell to sign up for this boring mess? To quote Dana Carvey's Church Lady, "Could it be...Satan?" (Full Content Review for Parents - Violence, Profanity, etc. - Also Available) |
| IGN MoviesJosh LasserIt is entirely about being vaguely creepy and so busy pushing its "evil forces at work" plot that it can't get bogged down in specifics or worry about pesky things like logic. |
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonThe Darkness does offer up several great moments visually that are pure nightmare fuel, but what follows truly lacks any sort of boundary-pushing that you'd hope to see from the guy who introduced us to the murderous Mick Taylor in Wolf Creek. |
| Salt Lake City WeeklyEric D. SniderEven at 92 minutes, this formulaic cast-off is mind-numbingly protracted, without a moment of originality (or scariness). |
| NerdistScott WeinbergAlmost painfully conventional, but the cast is solid and Act III delivers some decent chills. |
| Total FilmStephen Puddicombe[The Darkness] favours generic mumbo-jumbo about inter-dimensional demons. |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonOddly, this well-cast horror movie is more interesting for its family drama than for its scares. It might almost be worth seeing, if not for the nonsensical story, jump scares, and other lazy stuff. |
| TheFrightFile.comDustin Putman"The Darkness" is a mostly lame, decidedly tame supernatural horror movie starring actors far better than the project at hand. And, who the f*ck is Jenny? |
