75The thriller makes up in moody weirdness what it lacks in horror-tale originality.
-
40All of this of course would be forgivable if it all added up to a scary movie or made even a lick of sense, but Balaguero manages to disappoint on all possible fronts.
-
30Though pic boasts decent perfs, potent atmospherics and eye-catching visuals, both psychology and plot are bargain-basement.
-
25Apparently, none of the characters in Darkness have seen "The Shining."
