Nevertheless, it packed enough jump scares that would still make it an enjoyable watch perhaps on a dark rainy night at home.įor the foregoing reasons, Grave Reviews gives Darkness Falls (2003) two graves out of five graves.ĭo you agree with our review? Comment below. Overall, there is a lot of cliché to this film from start to finish, and the plot as well as the execution feels mediocre. Did she really appear to every kid who lost their last baby tooth as implied in the film? It was mentioned that there were a lot of unsolved missing person cases in the town, but it seemed like it was not something that bothered the town as much-everything felt normal, and they only seem to single out Kyle.
The Tooth Fairy only attacks in the dark due to her sensitivity to light, and while this is a derivative concept that has been reused over and over again, it was still fairly enjoyable to watch Kyle and the rest of the characters shuffle around in the dark with their flashlights, while being attacked one by one before Kyle eventually defeated the Tooth Fairy by shining the lighthouse to her face.Īdditionally, one major plot hole I would like to point out is how did the adults survive their childhood, considering Matilda vowed to seek revenge to everyone in Darkness Falls.

Like Kyle, he is also tormented by the Tooth Fairy, but what makes him different is the fact that he is a kid who tried to kill himself just to he could escape the horror brought about by the Tooth Fairy. Another interesting character was Michael (Lee Cormie). And that is enough to get viewers to feel bad for him. His former neighbors believed he was a murderer and he couldn’t prove that otherwise since no one would believe what happened the night his mother died. He is depicted as a troubled young man, who after seeing his mother die right in front of him, was then immediately accused for her death. The film did not have the best set of characters, but the main protagonist Kyle was likeable and relatable enough.

The Grave Reviewĭarkness Falls (2003) has an all-too-familiar premise that would appeal to the general audience as everyone believed in the concept of the Tooth Fairy at some point in their lives. However, these scenes may be considered tame to some, except for the opening scene which is the scariest sequence throughout the entire movie.

Now an adult, he returns to Darkness Falls after his childhood friend Caitlin (Emma Caulfield) seeks his help for her brother Michael (Lee Cormie), who is being haunted by the Tooth Fairy after recently losing his last baby tooth.
