The Darkness

The Darkness

Only a couple of days out of the cinema after watching The Darkness and I have completely forgotten about the film.  I am sure there was an EE advert in the middle of it, but nothing much else

I think it was about a boy who found some stones that brought forward ancient demons from the darkness who terrorised a suburban family consisting of Rhonda Mitra, Kevin Bacon, and two forgettable kids.

Jump scares that failed on multiple occasions, not just because they were jump scares, but because they were so predictable and routine that not even the anticipation of a scare did anything

What has happened to the horror genre now, no thought is going into them and continuous drivel is being released.  Kevin Bacon was simply cashing a cheque with this film after doing a couple of years of EE and cinema adverts.  I have referred to the video before, but Jeremy from Cinema Sins has given the only solution to solving the current drudge of horror films, and that is to simply stop making them for at least 10 years.  Everyone loves a good scare and I see more people in the cinema for a scary film than other genres (excluding Marvel and DC behemoths), but cinema goers must be leaving unsatisfied with the ongoing quick cash grabs.


So, The Darkness, is a completely forgettable, dull and uninteresting entrant into the already bulging with mediocraty genre of horror…one to be missed
