Running Time:

Hey all!
Due to some pressing circumstances, I shall be doing the movie review, *dontcha just love that?* back to the dripping sarcasm, and loving care given to those movies I enjoy.
As you can see from my intro, I hated this movie, it was full of such cheap scares, it was nauseating. If you do not know what a cheap scare is, its basically when someone jumps outta the shadows with spooky sounds that get turned up right when you see the "horror".
This movie is titled after the town in which the movie takes place, oh so creepy Darkness Falls. In this town, there's a legend about a kindly old woman who would give kids a gold coin for their teeth. She gets horribly scarred, and is accused of stealing 2 kids and gets burned at the stake for it, uttering a curse to the town before she died: What I once took in kindness, I now take in vengeance" or something like that.
Anyway, this whole movie is about a demented toothfairy, basically, who's afraid of light, can get into your house undetected, but still has to use a door to get somewhere. I mean really.
Now onto my next rant about this movie, they tried so damn hard to make the CGI look great (and it does in case you're interested) that they payed no attention to the very obvious holes and mistakes in the script, which is a damn shame because I'm sure if they had added a little humor (kinda like leprechaun) they would have had a much easier time trying to market this movie rather than making a completely crap story and filling it with a seriousness that is unwarranted for the subject matter presented.
For at least trying to make the monster believable with great CGI, I will give this movie a 2 out of 5 rating.
And that's being generous...
Hope you all enjoyed this review, and I'll see you all soon:)
Eternal,
