Movie Reviews of Darkness (Unrated Version)
Movie Review: One Decent honest horror film indeed!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was genuinely scared for the first time in a long time when I watched this movie in theatres when it arrived to Iceland in spahish.
My own theory is that most of the one and two starers are looking for something that goes beyound the sense of fright this film gives someone like me. It's about 'devil worshippers'in lower fifth - dimensional Spain of the late 1990's and beyound , who decide decades earlier to have a house built to harness what the ONA calls 'acausal energies'.
These devil - worshippers believed in what they felt to be the useability of human sacrifice to aid themselves in their deeply dark , seriously sinister 'shamanic'journeying - journeying to the lower forth dimension and beyound.
They allow one member to make a decision to let his child escape , but sacrifice all the other children they felt they had to sacrifice to finish off their ritual - in a manner I found to be one of the most terrifying descriptions in movie history. This film is dark. And I am not pissed off by these one star reviewers of this film , but rather perplexed , wondering what films they may know about which go beyound the Darkness. I chose to use this movie in my own spiritual journeying minus all the brutal violence of course with seriously good results.
I loved the film and saw it again and again and again , in Spanish and in English , and it deals with the concept of child sacrifice by supposedly existing 'satanist groups'you never hear about anywhere , especially not in the writings of the top anti - satanism authors , and in the writings of such authors as David Icke.
The Darkness is not only a scary horror film - it is a sinister horror movie which kind of captivates an atmosphere whose nature as sinister is akin to the atmosphere people felt while watching the Exorcist in the eighties and earlier. This is serious horror and it'll give most people who view it the creeps if they're viewing it for the first time and many of them have not written a review of this movie on amazon.com. This film is more scary than many horror movies that have been released since , but there are a few who to me unleashed the same sense of sinister feeling but they didn't contain any elements relating to other entities than human beings , such as Inside and Frontiers.
This is a very well done horror movie , well worth the title 'one decent horror film'.
