Dark Memories

This has to be the stupidest, incoherent bunch of crap ever to waste 90 minutes of my life! Absolutely worthless! Obviously, Tom Sizemore was hired as a "name", which after his problems with Heidi Fleiss and drugs, he hardly is anymore. But, this drivel needed every chance it could get.

It's like the six, yes that's six, writers really couldn't agree on a plot, so they just kind of threw everything together.

Don't waste your time. Trust me, when it is over, you will be scratching your head saying, "What the f***?" If you want a really scary, atmospheric movie, just rent "The Ring" again! And as someone pointed out in the forums, this movie actually ripped off music from "The Ring" and "The Grudge" - Two completely superior movies.

The plot is rather stupid and raw. A few questions arise after watching, and if it had been a good, solid horror film, it would hint, give a clue where to find the answers. But, unfortunately, it is not. I bought this film because of Tom Sizemore in a lead. I really love this guy! He is the most smashing dude I have ever seen, especially when he plays bad guys and freaky military men. But I this flick, hmmm... Tom! Were you really so short of cash to agree to "star" in this sh...! I was really disappointed by this movie! It turned to be worse than "Ticker"! Peope,if you really care for Mr. Sizemore, don't watch this film, he will be grateful!

i rented this movie last night hoping for a scary movie, something that would keep me entertained, and maybe i have watched too many scary movies and have become desensitized but this movie was bordering on hilarious rather than hair-standing-on-end scary. and i just didn't get it, nothing tied in together. this movie just provided you with a bunch of shots about a girl hallucinating and then in the end didn't explain any of it, and then added another ending scene that just seemed pointless. sure maybe it is supposed to make you think, but it just seemed....like a bunch of loose ends that never tied together. definitely a waste of time. i said in the first 13 minutes that i hoped it was only an hour and a half film. if you want a really good suspense film i say watch the skeleton key.

The plot lacks substantial development of character history or resolution of ideas. It has a sudden abrupt ending I saw coming a mile away, but lacked substance and leaves many questions vital to the plot unanswered. To discuss more would reveal spoilers.

I guess one would have to read the book to understand what actually happens... I seams as if the true story was discarded and stomped all over to get some cheap thrills in. The thrills, BTW are not too believable or exciting.

The only good thing I have to say is Sizemore is creepy as hell. Otherwise the acting is completely unbelievable.

"Original" musical scores blatantly composed to sound as if from "The Grudge" and "The Ring" so much so that one has to wonder if plagiarism just occurred. I was fooled into thinking it was the same composer from "The Ring". I see from the message boards I am not alone in this opinion.

I am so disappointed I wasted my time on this movie. The trailer proved to be more exciting. Don't waste your money.

A movie has to be really bad for me to fail to see some redeeming quality in it. This is that movie. It has no redeeming qualities. None. The acting is bad. The story (or lack of same) is bad. There is no resolute ending. It is about a woman who must come to terms with a lifetime of night terrors and the cause of them. When her grandmother dies and leaves to her the house where she spent her summers as a little girl, the opportunity for her to deal with her nightmares presents itself. She goes to the house to stay until she can sell it. She transforms from successful business woman to disoriented, annoying screamer as soon as she enters the house. Apparently everything she sees, hears, feels, thinks is symbolic of a childhood trauma. Unfortunately, there is never a foundation developed to which one can relate the symbols. Nothing relates to anything. Nothing makes sense, except we know that she is terrified, maybe guilt ridden from some childhood experience(s). None of her actions are logical, even if you can manage to suspend disbelief, which for this movie is required to even sit through the whole thing. I'd like to see a finished version of this movie, because this version is obviously half baked.
