Darkness Falls Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

Do you believe in fairies ?

This film is about a vengeful spirit killing a group of people who looks at her face. Before, she was a nice old lady that bakes a cake for children who lose their teeth. She was badly burned in a kitchen fire and as a result was very sensitive to light. Now she walks around with a mask covering her scarred face and lives by night. One day, two children go missing and the tooth fairy is blamed. Before the tooth fairy is put to her death, she warns them 'What I took before in kindness, I shall take forever in revenge.' The next morning, the children turn up. Oops!

This is a very suspenseful and smart film. Some scenes races against time as the characters try to stay out of the dark as lights one by one go out. Burning flames die down and flashlights switch off. If you think staying in the car is safe, you're wrong.

A step away from the slasher-flicks and back toward the classic suspense movies. It's like watching Nightmare on Elm Street for the first time, with flashes of Candyman and the feeling of Pitch Black. A healthy mix of comedy and human reaction made everything that much more real. Probably one of the best certificate 15 horrors around.

Original and worth a look

OK so there are a few minor details about this film which could have been improved, but I like the concept behind it with the tooth fairy being evil. It's not overly scary, but there are a few tense and suspenseful moments.

The idea of the film is great and the end product is definitely worth watching. Far better than a lot of the teen slasher so called horrors that are about at the moment.
