IN THE STYLE OF EBERT AND ROPER

howdinski from yorkshire , england, 27th March, 2005

HOWDINSKI = (Two middle fingers up) This is as bad as they come. (every one in the cinema said the same thing = terrable.) I advise you not to watch it. But after all its your choice

Zzzzzzzzzzz.......

A Customer from Chester, 31st July, 2005

Was unfortunate enough to see this at the pictures. Nothing much to add to what's already been said. It's dreadful, one of the dullest films I've seen in ages. Also like to bring up the point about the rating (it was mentioned above in another review). Why does this film have an average rating of 3 stars when every reviewer has given it 1 star ? I don't think many people read the user reviews and I can imagine people seeing this film listed, thinking '3 stars, must be quite good, I'll give it a go'. I feel sorry for those people :)

WARNING- Do not watch this film

BROGO from Buckinghamshire, 22nd May, 2005

What on earth. When I saw this at the cinema I couldn't believe I chose to see such a rubbish film. The storyline is vague, the acting was unbelievably lame. It seemed like no one had read the script or they were doing it all improv. The best part was the closing credits. If you fancy a laugh or just so you can say you've seen the worst film of the century then watch it but don't say I didn't warn you. Didn't want to give it one but its the lowest mark they'll allow.

Scary creeping dread.

Ian Jones from london, 4th August, 2005

I am the only person in the world who liked this movie it seems. It also scared the pants off me. Its an atypical supernatural horror in that the fear is created by a buildup of suspense and dread that creeps into every scene. By the end I could hardly watch, as the characters attempt to escape what is lurking inside the Darkness!!! By the way there is one scene where she answers the telephone and the camera catches something behind her on the ceiling that still gives me nightmares now (no Im not related to the director).

You'll never remember what it's called when you are slagging it off in the future!

A Customer from Bewdley, 30th September, 2008

Took 2 attempts to watch it, as it was quite slow and not in a suspenseful way. I guessed 'whodunnit' pretty quickly - felt we were presented with fait accomplit on that front. Some of the 'scary' bits could have been really spooky but tricks were over-used and repetitive. They should look to the Orphange to see how it's done, I feel. What really made me laugh was Lena Olin saying on the Making Of that she probably wouldn't be seeing the film- I wish I had watched that bit first and followed her advice! Quite frustrating.

Forgetable!

MichaelJames from from Exeter, 12th September, 2008

I think I must have rented this film for Lena Olin (Alias)... I maybe enjoyed this film as I originally gave it a three... But thinking back to review this film, I don't remember it at all!
