Why bother?
14 January 2007
i can't believe this film, i read in a magazine that it was scary, and tense, what were the people who commented thinking? this has got to e one of the worst films i have seen, and i have seen some really bad ones. the only highlight was the acting from Rory cochrane. A really bad ending just made a bad film even worse. this is classed as a disaster movie, you don't see any of the disaster, you don't really see any effects the disaster has, and if anything its like phone booth, only without the intensity and teasers, thats what these films are supposed to be all about! I'm surprised after putting their name to quality films like the Saw Franchise and Hard Candy, Lionsgate would want to lay claim to this one!

The Dark (2005)
7/10
Wasn't as scary as suggested but still pretty good!!

The Dark shocked me really, after seeing the trailer on TV my initial thoughts were that it was going to be a genuinely scary film, however after watching it, it appears it is not as much scary as it is strange!

The concept of it will seem pretty weird to you but it actually works, however there are times in it where the acting is pretty sketchy. I think all in all this film will appeal to people who like a bit of the supernatural or spiritual stuff, and maybe not as much to the people who like a really scary horror flick.

Hat off to Sean Bean, i like most of the films he's in, and Maria Bello does make viewing slightly more pleasant. Some will like it, some won't. Would definitely watch again though.
