The opening scene of Darkness Falls showed promise. There was fear, suspense, and a very creepy looking antagonist. From there, it all goes downhill, and the rest of this movie, in my eyes, is a disappointment in story, plot and completely unlikable characters.
Jethal and Tock sat down for a discussion of this movie, in an episode of The Monster Club.. Here
- Everyone in town is hostile toward Kyle, the guy who’s been away for 12 years.
- Bar fight with local
- Ray is mad because no one had a chance with Caitlin after he left.. she was like 12 years old at the time.. come on, really?
- Police are all dicks
- Unbelievable story or not, the cops are all total dicks
- Local dick is killed, arrest Kyle immediately.
- Everyone who isn’t a dick, seems to be dumb as hell
- Tooth Fairy is attacking on the hospital stairs
- Officer Matt drives through the door of the hospital, saving them.
- How did he know where they were?
- Why the hell did it drive his Jeep through the door to begin with?
- Jump scare
- Was the cat really necessary?
- They go to the Lighthouse and approach the generator room
- “This must be it”
- What, the caged in machinery with an “Emergency Generator” sign on the door? Do you think so?
- Stupid plot device.
- I’m not an electrician, but it seems to me that there wouldn’t be a fuel line going upstairs, if the tank and generator are downstairs..
- There’s Gas Everywhere!
- Drops a kerosene lamp, nothing catches on fire
- Inconsistent Lore
- Tooth Fairy can not go into the light..
- Ending scene has her holding Kyle by the throat directly in the Lighthouse light.
- Dealing with Tooth Fairy
- Why is everyone trying to stay awake?
- Sleep during the day. Problem Solved.
