Review of The Dark

The Dark (2005)
3/10
Could have been great, no answers and the ending disappoints!
16 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Starts off with a great story. Its suspenseful and shot very well. The acting is great. Then things just start to fall apart. The end of the movie makes it not worth watching. Writers try too hard to twist things one way and then twist things another way. How many time do we as movie watchers have to complain before someone listens? This movie would have been a 9 or 10 if they either, let the mother and the daughter live, or if the daughter lived and the mother died. This movie leave the mother dead(or trapped between worlds) and the daughter is completely missing. We don't know if she is dead and gone to heaven or if she is trapped with her mother. I know actors need to get paid like everyone else, but I really wish that someone somewhere would just say, enough. Can we please have a quality story. People like happy endings, people like sad endings. but most of all, people like endings. We have enough stray ends in our own lives. We watch movies to step away and have a mini break from reality. When movies end more frazzled that they began it is very unsatisfying. They could have changed the last 5 minutes of this movie and had something really good but, they gave us really bad.
