Title: DULL DARKNESS
Review: Filmed in 2002 but not released in the US until 2004, DARKNESS is a disappointing ghost story. While the movie is visually impressive with atmospheric and brooding tension, it does little to serve the muddled script and the acting is hysterically inept. For toppers, why and what is the DARKNESS? Why did seven people sacrifice their children for it? What were they trying to accomplish? And as talented as Giancarlo Giannini may be considered, why was he given the crux of the story's plot when he has such a thick accent that unless you turn on the subtitles, you have no idea what he's talking about. And the ending is so anticlimactic, you have to be a little ticked off you wasted your time with it. I keep hoping that the horror genre gets some new life in films that don't end up being so dull and lifeless as this one.
