This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

This will be a quick review. A wee bit of advice Kevin, stick to EE ads mate.....

This movie is a good movie, but not great; it is by no means unique or anything in that aspect, but it is worth the watch. I watched it with my good friend & he pointed out that it is good. I personally am not frightened by pretty much anything, so this didn't do that for me, but at the same time I recognize & acknowledge that the story line is good, and the acting and just plain movie overall are all good. Don't expect it to win an award, but it's worth your time if you're into horror; Even more if you're not.

Before anyone says anything about me watching The Darkness I have this to say: I WILL watch anything with Kevin Bacon in it. That's not to say I will like it though. This has to be one of his worst movies. Let's get going.Synopsis: A family returns from a Grand Canyon vacation, haunted by an ancient supernatural entity they unknowingly awakened and engages them in a fight for their survival. Starring: Kevin Bacon, Radha Mitchell Director: Greg McLeanThe Ugly: We already had one horrible remake of Poltergeist, why did we need another? Answer: we didn't. Now, this necessarily wasn't a direct remake, this movie added in some elements from two Stephen King novels called Desperation and The Regulators. Go look them up and you'll see what I mean. In the long run, this more like Poltergeist than its own movie.The Bad: The side stories in the movie. Did we need them as well? Not so much. Were they required? Yes they were. Here's why. They had a basis for a movie. At some point they realized they didn't have a long enough movie so they added a couple of story lines to add more to the movie. Not as bad as an obvious remake though.The Good: Here, the best part of the movie was the acting. Kevin Bacon always shines no matter what he does. Radha Mitchell is always good in the troubled wife role. Even Paul Reiser fit the role he was picked for. Too bad they didn't have a better script or director.Final Thoughts: Star power couldn't save this movie. It had potential, but fell drastically short.Rating: 4 out of 10

Strange things begin to plague a Los Angeles family after a fun vacation. Peter (Kevin Bacon) and his wife Bronny (Radha Mitchell) begin sharing their home with daughter Stephanie (Lucy Fry) and autistic son Mikey (David Mazour) with some inexplicable events like water turning on, footstep sounds in the attic and mysterious hand prints about the home. It is believed they brought back a malignant spirit from their trip to the Grand Canyon. Or is it a dark entity from hell causing Mikey's erratic behavior?Greg McLean co-writes and directs this tense supernatural horror piece. Some eerie special effects fueled by fear. Bacon's talent seems a bit wasted. Also in the cast: Paul Reiser, Trian Long Smith, Ilza Rosario and Alma Martinez.
