Review of The Darkness

Well I didn't remember this until just recently. I thought wow the kid from Gotham is already getting blockbuster roles. It seems to be your typical PG-13 type of horror. This is written and directed by Greg McLean who did the very disturbing Wolf Creek movies. Of those I only like the second one. Shayne Armstrong and Shane Krause are the co-writers who also wrote Bait (an Australian shark movie I loved!). The cast here is a pretty interesting mixture. I wonder what kind of Autism that is. He easily found an exit close to where they were? That doesn't seem likely. The opening for this was pretty damn stupid. So far everything is by the books for this type of horror. There hasn't been anything new except the actors. Even the characters themselves have been done like a million times. They are quite the dysfunctional family. Lucy Fry looks odd in some scenes. Like I keep thinking they have two daughters because of how different she keeps looking. Well I'm glad that wasn't a successful attempt. What is that a collection of bongs or something lol? That is some seriously fast internet right there. I wish I had that. Whenever I see Ming-Na Wen in a joyous mood in a movie I feel now it's her being Agent May from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on a mission haha. Wait so that whole Bulimia thing was quickly solved in like 2 scenes and never shows any importance again? Is it just to show how out of touch the family is with each other? Does it just show the poor writing here? That ending was so corny. There were so many unimportant little subplots spread throughout here. The only good thing here was the acting. Everything else was just so typical. This is probably one of the worst haunting kind of movies I have seen. It's a huge waste of time. Avoid this one.
