Darkness Falls is about the Tooth Fairy who murders you dead if you're in the dark, and a man trying to save a kid from becoming the next victim. This movie kinda sucks, but I still think it feels... ahead of its time? In a way? Don't laugh. Let me explain. We had the most uninspired bullshit in the late 90's and early 00's. It was bad. But then there comes a movie that has a new monster with a unique concept. Tooth Fairy (ok?) but she kills you if you go in the dark! It's a concept that was done infinitely better in Lights Out, a movie that's regarded as... pretty good, mostly (and I probably like it more than that). This movie feels like... if you had a more competent script and a better idea that didn't still fall into monster of the week BS, you might have a more fulfilling film. Unfortunately, we don't have that. The Tooth Fairy here isn't nearly as interesting. The cinematography doesn't take advantage of this. The Tooth Fairy is more burst in and kill without any sense of taking your time and letting the dread pick up. This movie could have been really, really good! But instead it turns into a monster of the week and isn't tremendously good as a result. And the script, god. It sucks. And they throw so much fodder in this movie to up a kill count, and you can't really care about most people here as a result. But they still have a good sense of dread and worry in this film despite it. This was a time where you had to kill kill kill in your monster of the week film. And even as you get to the climax of the film, you have to have ACTION rather than... something more satisfying? I dunno, it's a supremely flawed movie that's a product of its time, that could have been much better with the more... refined directors we have doing horror nowadays? I was probably more into this movie since it was so different. But alas, it isn't very good. Rating: 5/10 --- I stream sometimes.
