When new parents Alex and Penny retreat from the city and move into a place outside town, the stress and massive sleep-deprivation caused by their infant has both of them seeing things in the house that may or may not exist. Persistent sightings of a strange woman has each of them wondering if they are suffering from hallucinations, or if their new home holds a dark, supernatural presence. As their fragile grasp on reality spirals into delirium, Alex and Penny find themselves nearly helpless to deal with the horrific truth of what is really going in this house.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I came to watch this film with low expectations as it was on the horror channel. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought the directing was excellent. Especially like the facing person perspective when the mother was exhausted and going through the motions of collecting clothes for washing. I have watched numerous mainstream horror films that have been well received but severely lacking in plot, suspense, acting skill and sense. This film ticked all the boxes for me. The acting was strong and the way their lives and relationship slowly degraded through lack of sleep and what was happening to them was really well done. As a mother of 4 kids I can fully understand the effects of sleep deprivation. I liked the way the couple were left doubting themselves and didn't know whether they were hallucinating from lack of sleep or whether the things they were seeing were real. I did find it unbelievable that they would have stuck so stubbornly to staying in the house. I think realistically they would have given up on the house long before. And where were family or friends in all that time? And why did they insist on keeping the child in his own room? Realistically they would have brought him in with them long before too. The ending surprised me and I thought it was a good twist. Although there were some believability issues I still gave this film a 9 as after, becoming jaded by so many over hyped under quality horror films, I felt this was really effective, very suspenseful and really well directed. I would definitely recommend it.

DARK CIRCLES is yet another grim slice of ghostly horror, made by schlock purveyors After Dark films. This is a cookie-cutter production that looks and feels like at least two dozen other similar haunted house movies made in the last five years. You know the story by now: a young couple (with a baby in tow) are living in a creepy, run-down old building, where the wife is assailed by horrible visions and nightmares. Is it all in her mind or is the house really haunted?All of these films look grim with dull, washed-out colours and shadows lurking in every corner. The characters are subdued and depressed for the most part, and that transfers across to the viewer. The silly jump scares are too obvious to really work, and when it comes that twist ending is just dumb. I miss the old days of true ghost films like THE HAUNTING or THE INNOCENTS, with their strong writing and vivid characters...

Dark Circles (2013) I really enjoyed this movie, it started of with bang and some bizarre scene in this movie in good way and they making feel very unsettling.Couple just had new born baby, as they didn't want to raise the Baby in new york, so they to place when its less noise.They moved to house and with their new born baby but baby dose sleep at night all, they seem to feel a sleepy a lot tiny.What liked about this movie both of them see things as one time or another but they put down to not having enough sleep.There were really good chilling moment in this movie and that made feel a little tense, they some really good scarce scenes in this movie what work, may make you jump.I also liked how Paul Soter still keep the creepy thought out the whole movies, even nothing is hap ping in those scenes.This was Paul Soter first horror movie but it not great but it was above average for me..The acting was outstanding from everyone in this movie and Baby is cute! 7 out of 10

Hi, I watched this film last night with friends. Altho' I now feel I should get better friends. The actual film it self makes time stand still, which only prolongs the agony of watching it.The basic premise of the movie has been done so many times before, and much better as well. A couple move from the city to county to bring up a baby, and spooky things begin to happen. Mainly involving a woman, who looks like a Fat version of the scary girl in The Ring. But with out the ability to be scary. Who pops up every now and then to try and remind viewer that it is meant to be a horror film. Add the back drop of a sleepless couple, who are struggling to cope with the lack of sleep due to the baby and the noisy workmen building a house in the next field!!.(they should of watched this film, they would've dropped off with in minutes) And you start to think is it really happening or is it just hallucinations due to sleep depravity. Then you realise it is really happening, your watching the worst film ever!!!.
