Darkness (2012)

DarknessI would say this movie was excellent but I do not think that is strong enough. The movie was outstanding in every way it kept u waiting for what was next and wanting more. Super movie!!!

Not overly engaging or very memorable. One thing i didn't like is the lack of subtitles. In a film like this where people talk softly or with thick accents, subtitles really help. Nothing i dislike more than having to crank the volume to hear a conversation then have music BLAST out of nowhere a second after for a cheap scare. One other problem is doing the shakey camera garbage. Yeah yeah, he was trying to go for camera effects.... pfffft more like, "I cannot create real tension, through creative lighting or dialog so i'll shake the camera instead" It doesn't happen alot, but i am just getting tired of horror films using shakey cam as a crutch for creating tension i guess it is replacing the blasting music jump scare. So it kinda missed the mark on being a memorable "chilling" horror film and falls into the "It's ok" category.
