Darkness Falls

           

The MM - "This movie is bad from the moment the house lights go down and darkness falls on the theater. Hopefully, for your sake, you are sitting close to an exit. This inane and illogical film is about a vengeful tooth fairy who has spent the past several years haunting two young men (one twenty, one twelve) with night terrors because they made the unforgettable mistake of looking the fairy in the eye when she visited them after they lost their last baby tooth. Even though she has concentrated her efforts on two victims for the past several years, on the night the movie chooses to study, she decides to kill as many people as possible in this town in rural Maine. Even though the killer tooth fairy can not survive exposure to any type of light, the entire casts insists on exploring the woods in the middle of the night and visiting all the rooms in a building without ever hitting a light switch. To the surprise of nobody, the misunderstood hero saves himself, the pretty girl, and her afflicted little brother in one of the all time hokiest computer generated finales ever. Ludicrous, ridiculous, and sophomoric, "Darkness Falls" only redeeming feature is that your suffering must only endure an eighty five minute run time."
