MOVIES DARKNESS FALLS
Quick
Rating: ** As the story goes, an old woman named Matilda in the town of Darkness Falls, used to visit the children of the village when they lost their teeth, and she would give them a gold coin. She was called the tooth fairy. Then one day, her house burned down and her face was brutally scarred. As a result, she had to stay out of the light, and she wore a porcelain mask to protect herself. Then, she was found guilty of a crime that she didn't commit. Before she was hung, she cursed the people of Darkness Falls. Unfortunately, that was all backstory, as narrated to us in the prologue. I say unfortunately because it sounds like that would be a better movie than the one they actually made. In this movie, there's a kid, Kyle, who loses his last tooth. That night, a ghostly monster appears in his room. He hides in the light of the bedroom, and his mother, woken by his screams, tries to console him. To prove there's no ghost, she goes into the room and she is killed by the "tooth fairy". Fast forward twelve years, and the younger brother of Kyle's childhood girlfriend is having night terrors. He's seeing the same ghostly figure that Kyle saw previously. The girl calls Kyle, who comes back to his hometown to try to help this young boy. The movie descends into a killer horror movie, where a bunch of nameless victims are attacked by the monster, and our main characters try to save themselves and destroy the monster. It's not a bad movie, but there's nothing really special about it, either. The special effects aren't that great (although the porcelain mask is kinda creepy), and the story has a bunch of holes in it. But, for a PG-13 horror movie about a flying burnt old woman, it's alright. Quality: 4.0 Visuals:
