Darkness - Balaguero, 2002

I have a soft spot for a good horror flick, but unfortunately Darkness is not one of them. It seems like this film steals elements from all kinds of successful films of this genre, most notably The Shining, Amityville Horror, and Rosemary's Baby, and then chops it up into a confusing mess. A mess is clearly the result. Anna Paquin is her usual cute/edgy/vulnerable self but the rest of the cast is decidedly bad. A 2 rating.
