Darkness was released in 2003. The movie stars Anna Paquin, as Regina, and provides a unique look into more European horror. Critics did not have good reviews for the film, but there should be some acknowledgment of what did work. There were parts of the movie that were creepy and did make an excellent effect. The movie deserved more recognition than it received.
The most common problems during the film were dialog and inconsistency. The best features of the film were the intensity and the the twists. The photograph found by Regina's father is incredibly unsettling and the creatures that come out are awesome.
The bare bones plot is a family movies from America to an old home in the Spanish countryside. Things begin happening and Regina believes it is the house, but no one will listen to her. She believes the activity is targeting her little brother. One of the twists at the end show that things are not at all what she believes.
I would recommend that horror fans watch this one. This is one film you will either love or hate, depending upon how you like your horror served.
