Pimeä on pelottava paikka, pimeässä asuu otuksia. Ne ovat hammaskeijuja, mutta ne on pahoja. Sanoinko jo, että tämä oli huono. En vissiin. No, tämä oli huono. Del Toron tyylille uskollisesti, tässä yhdistellään satuja sekä kauhua. Ongelmana vain tällä kertaa on se, että koko homma tuntuu jotenkin enemmän lastenelokuvalta kuin vakavasti otettavalta kauhufantasialta. Pimeässä lymyilevät olennot eivät herätä minkäänlaista pelontunnetta. Tästä johtuen "

PIENI SPOILER, ei tässä leffassa mitään juonta ole anyway.
Sally on pieni tyttö
Sallyn vanhemmat ovat eronneet ja Sally muuttaa vanhaan kartanoon
Sally näkee örvelöitä
Isä ja äitipuoli ei usko Sallya
Paska osuu tuulettimeen
Isä ja äitipuoli uskovat Sallya
Äitipuoli pelastaa ja Sally on jees
Tämä leffa sen sijaan ei"
"First time seeing this movie and I found it forgettable. I found some parts of the movie to pretty scary, but I started to laugh that the movie had killer elves. The movie also had some good acting and the specials effects are pretty decent though."

The creature designs and CGI effects are poorly done and are actually quite funny. And Bailee Madison returns as one of the worst child stars since that ugly child from the Home Alone series. I think his name was Muckmy Clucker.
Anyway, this film is boring, poorly directed, poorly acted and all around bad.
In other words, Hollywood did it again.” read more

After seeing the trailer I thought I was in for a pretty scary movie. Sadly, I wasn't. This film is corny, features awful CGI and some really bad acting. It felt severly medicore from begining to end with only about 4 cool scenes. Worst horror of 2010."
