The Conspiracy of Dark Falls

Dreadful. Awful, stilted dialogue, poorly scripted, cliched characters - angst driven writer, flirty coffee shop assistant, wooden bar staff, feisty female investigator from the department of conspiracy. It's no surprise you probablyhaven't seen any of the cast in other productions.

Plot - angst ridden writer recovering from split with girlfriend goes to mysterious small town of Dark Falls, finds out that his geologist father disappeared there years ago & that's not the only strange thing that's happened in the years since a mysterious (but unknown outside of the village) meteor shower. Joins up with feisty investigator and meets up with coffee shop assistant who knew his disappeared father.

Be warned, you'll never get this time back.

How this crud ever made it to production is truly bizarre. It does not have one redeeming quality, and is, quite honestly, the worst film I have ever seen by a country mile. The acting is beyond dreadful; it is, by no stretch of the imagination, what you would routinely expect of some clichéd am-dram, and primary school am-dram at that. This should be mandatory viewing for budding 1st year film/art students in terms of everything you should not do. You have to see it to believe that it's possible; all it would have taken is for one rationale, reasonable person involved in this bunkum to be honest and ask "really, do you think this is any good? Should we maybe just forget it?" Just one person!

This movie was recommended to me by Prime for some bizarre reason. The acting is really wooden and I'm sure a bunch of school children could do better. The plot is based around something strange happening at Darks Falls in the UK. The main character splits up with his fiancee and then talk with his publisher / friend about it. He is an author an is struggling to write his book because of slitting up with his fiancee. He walks into a pub at Dark Falls and everyone looks at him strangely. This is obviously a rip-off from a scene in American Werewolf in London. I could not get immersed in the film and kept on feeling it was a bunch of kids trying to may their first film to impress their parents. The sad thing was that they were grown adults! I was hoping that it was going to be some exciting alien movie but was sorely dissapointed. I could only get 28.01 into this film and then stopped it otherwhise I might have shot myself in the head to put myself out of my misery.

I really wanted to like this film as I am a big supporter of British movies, regardless of how large or small the budget may be. However this film was really disappointing.

The premise was good and the script was okay but the acting was absolutely dire, the characters were under-developed and the general quality of production was very poor. To be honest, it felt like watching a student film.

The one saving grace was the filmography and there were some beautiful shots taken on location.

In conclusion, the film was very amateurish and unfortunately not near good enough to be offered on general release.

Go to any primary school, literally any one you like, and watch their Nativity play and I promise you will have seen better acting than at any point is this absolute garbage atrocity. Some of the blame certainly goes to the ridiculously poor writing, but the delivery of lines is the worst I have ever seen in any movie in my life.

As for the plot, well there is one I guess so that's something. People go missing, people investigate, and nonsense ensues. Plus something about aliens.

The fact that this was advertised as along the lines of X-files and Da Vinci Code is beyond a complete joke. Avoid!
