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
