The Conspiracy of Dark Falls

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!

Dark Falls sounds like somewhere in America but this is a British Film set in Britain where it will probably stay and be forgotten and never mourned! I tried it for thirty minutes but realised it was absolute rubbish and not worth wasting any more time on. None of the participants (I can't call them actors) were any good. I think they had had their vitality drained out of them just before filming began and were in a state of apathy and lethargy.

I couldn't watch any more and didn't really care what happened to anyone.

This film was described as being similar to The X Files which I loved to watch. Don't be fooled by this statement!

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.

So, quite a few critics on here with a heavy hand and a swift boot heading in the direction of the producer.

I really enjoyed this story. Yes the acting could be a little questionable. And the pacing could have been improved but how do you make a film like this on an incredibly tight budget?

I really did enjoy the story and the locations wherever that might have been. If anyone knows please do let me know I could use a visit.

A little more attention to detail about the security services but would have been a bit of a bonus. Having said all that, it's nice to have a mystery in the UK without the glitz of Hollywood and it's formulaic approach to keeping the oiks passivated with, rather paradoxically, fear and uncertainty. Overall a jolly good mystery and thank you to all those involved.

I'm willing to give most films a chance. I've sat through some real duds from beginning to end with no complaints just so I can talk about them with a bit of authority in these reviews. I see it as the only fair way to really judge a film. This time I just couldn't do it. I tried my best but I just couldn't manage it.

It was the acting, it was appalling. The badly written dialogue was delivered with all the liveliness of a dead fish. I'm sure they're all very lovely people and I wish them all the very best for their futures but, for God's sake, please don't become actors. Work in film, if you must, but stay behind the cameras.

Not worth your time.
