Movie Reviews of Dark Heritage
Movie Review: Creepy...
Summary: 4 Stars
Although not an accurate adaption of H.P. Lovecraft's "The Lurking Fear," this film dose indeed deliver the mood that one would expect from an H.P Lovecraft story set in more modern times.
A couple residing within a camper in the woods is massacred and their deaths become the talk of a small Louisiana Town. An investigative reporter, Clint Harrison, is summoned personally by the owner of a newspaper company to investigate the case. His job is to spend the night in the abandoned Dansen house which stands in the middle of the woods five miles away from the recent murder scene. The task makes no sense to Clint and his selected crew members, but they were being paid overtime, so why not?
This is where the sum of all of Harrison's nightmares begin. Returning from the house with a story which no one will believe, his boss insists that he should take a vacation. Haunted by his experience, Clint tries to find answers at a local Library and reads about the seemingly normal history of the Dansen family. Despite its normalcy in print, Clint learns through two parapsychology students that that house is legendary for producing unsolved murders. So hence the investigation continues, leading his new crew on a track of unspeakable discovery.
There the story is, but be warned, this film is plagued by awkward acting and the quality of the picture is not DVD quality. To me, the old grainy look seemed to fit this rather eerie movie, but...that's just me. And some things in the film do not coincide with reality, either. For instance, just because you bury a body in the woods, dose not mean it will not be found by police dogs. Just small things like that...
Otherwise, the film is great. I know Lovecraft did not include redneck characters in his books, but the film dose a great job at creeping you out. The dark, isolated settings and the threat of death that surrounds them when lightening strikes is perfect.
