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.

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.

Wow... just wow! Could acting genuinely be worse that this. It's just awful! I'm pretty certain everyone just read their dialogue rather than learn it, and as a result there was just no space for emotion, changing the pitch of the voice, facial expressions - just nothing!

The filming and editing are actually not bad (no worse than anything on TV) it's just the acting - it's so awful. Please tell me the cast have been put on a watchlist as a safety measure for society.

The story has all the originality, and whilst I won't give spoilers, I do feel a community service is being delivered if I stop you wasting your on this very predictable and mediocre garbage!

Watched it to the end in the forlorn hope the story might redeem the film. It didn't. The acting was like a really bad high school production - not one of the participants had any acting ability. The diction was stilted & the script was simply appalling. The "actors" weren't believable. The story was just dire, completed nonsense. People randomly dying "of natural causes" for no reason. Any nod to "Straw Dogs" was just an insult. I watched this on Prime because it was heralded as of the X Files stable. Run time of 1:42:44. Don't waste 1:42:44 of your life like I did. This isn't worthy of any stars.
