Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The ONLY reason why I even watched this is because I was mislead by Joe Bob's review (MAN, I do not know WHAT the hell he was smoke'n, but I WANT SOME!!!) Wow... Shoulda followed what SLASHERPOOL said in his review, because I normally agree WAY more with him than anyone else, which is why I have been so sad since his site is gone... :(Anyway, this is pretty simple. The acting and script REALLY kill this baby right out of the gate. And, if that is not bad enough, wait until you see the, uh... DARKWALKER. GEEZ... I'm sorry, but at about the 17 minute mark or so when that really 'Great' looking hand comes up outta the ground, I think my eyes permanently rolled up so far that now I can see my own @ss. And like SLASHERPOOL said (Anthro Fred), What the HELL kind of Aliens were these young people anyway...???!! Every scene where somebody got munched the blood splashing up on the walls was SLIMY! HUH...??! Anyway, probably enough said. Like I mentioned, I would pay GOOD money for whatever Joe Bob was smoke'n!

Think the title is "Darkwalker" (one word), and was "Hobbs Grove: the Movie." It's not worth seeing under any title. Non-acting actors (but the male romantic lead and the woman who plays one of the owners aren't bad); silly demon suit (you can see the head of the guy inside through his mask); boring, nitwit script (including a training speech for the employees at the park); no sense to it anywhere (why is the demon killing people, and why only people who work at the park?); funny commentary by the producer and the director, as if they had made "The Godfather" ("we were so lucky to get this cast"; "this is a beautiful-looking film").Only reason for this review is to plug Hobbs Grove, the setting of the movie, which has the best haunted house (and the best haunted wood) I've ever been to, and I've been to a few. It looks tacky in the film, as those things always do, but seen in person it's scary and imaginative and atmospheric. Skip "HG: the Movie," but if you're in California around Halloween, check out "HG: the Cool Spook House."

DARKWALKER is an average Teen Slasher film. Unfortunately being "average" as it relates to direct-to-video Teen Slashers does not make it "average" in quality. The film is somewhat entertaining in a dull, mindless, repetitive way. Even for someone like myself, who indulges in these type of movies, and gives every break imaginable, there's not enough meat (much less sense) here to justify 90 minutes of running time.As a mindless type of film, I suppose it's good enough. It's certainly nothing extraordinary (meaning the two perfect "10" grade for this film is not to be believed), but it is not entirely bad.Fun at places, but ultimately too generic, even for a genre of films built on a foundation of being generic.4 out of 10(go to www.nixflix.com for a more detailed review of the film)

I'm sure the budget was very low, but this was a waste of film. The photography is awful and the actors are worse. The story is very weak and it lacks rhythm. The sex scenes which are necessary in a "good" low budget horror movie are completely missing. It could have been much MUCH better made...
