A Escuridão

No pun intended - and as the rating suggest maybe not the compliment the movie might aim for. Still I do like the main actress a lot and overall I would not put too much blame on the actors (you may have seen her in other stuff, like a Flanagan show).

Still this is as predictable as it gets and while it has many scares, not really any of them work the way they should. Yes the jump scare thing will make you shudder once or twice and yes the effects are quite nicely done. But the real question is, is it enough for you to be fully entertained by what you get served? I would argue not - but ultimately it will boil down to your own suspense of disbelief.

Well the cover looked interesting and intriguing - mainly because of the drop dead gorgeous Charlize Theron clone Amelia Eve on the front but sadly this is where the excitement ends.

Very amateurish production with annoying sound effects; violin arpeggios to highlight the usual scary moments (of which there are zero), some really terrible acting from nearly all the cast with the exception of Amelia who did her best with a woeful and tedious script that has nothing new to add to the genre and of course we have the usual cliched ending in the car - deary, deary me, when are we going to see some originality in British ghost / horror stories.

I always review a film fairly, based on its budgetary constraints, along with the acting etc but this one is hard going and sadly a lacklustre 3 hatchets on the scary scale for me!

This is more of an old school horror thriller, the narrative is split between two centuries, and it has all the ingredients for a horror fan like me is looking for ie changelings, possessions, witchcraft, demon and deception. All the casts had done a brilliant job, especially Amelia she just lit the scenes.

Considering its a low budget movie Director Tharun has done a good job. The plot is pretty deep, probably with a bigger budget it could have hit the marks for what it is I really enjoyed. So go check it out, its worth watching.

I have reviewed this based on the budget, scale and the production value.

Nothing to be afraid of. Its a film about witchcraft that travels through the familytree of surtain individuals, shown in the film by plentyfull flashbacks to the past, showing how and why , and a manifestation that heritage is reknown for the fact that blood is thicker than life, and water of course, and the evil spirits within this plot of irish sinisterism might be sufficient for the weakhearted superstitious believer in the spiritual darkness of irish witchcraft folklore...

i have waited before, and are still waiting for some kind of scary business from these parts of the world, but cant seem to find the right spot to dig, other than say the acting are pretty theatrical, the special effects of peoples telepathic narssissistic hoovering above the actual level of abilities makes it a cheesy show of slow and everlasting dehorrified drama.

To the positive can be mentioned that the musical score are pretty fine at times, sound effects quite precise, and some of the filming are extreme steady at the same time quite bold and experimental, so heir heir to them running the camera anhd the railpusher and dollygripper as well as the focus puller.

But what we all can declare after watching ''dorcha'' aka the darkness is that the blond dame aka the witch do spell beams of beauty to the silverscreen, well worth her looks, for the grumpy old man that is not enough, ill go for the brunettes, and just a 4 with a tiny recommend mostly for the filming.

This is supposed to be scary? Whoever wrote the screenplay had no idea what he/she was doing. And the actors were recruited right out of a community college theater guild. Don't waste your time with this mish-mosh "horror" film.
