is that she swoops suddenly into the frame, accompanied by shrieks and a jarring crash on the soundtrack.
DARKNESS FALLS TOOTHFAIRY MOVIE
And if it’s NOT her ordinary way of doing things, you’d think the movie would tell us why she’s become more vicious now. You’d think if this was common behavior for her that someone would have noticed that townsfolk, especially children, turn up dead all the time. Still, they try to save themselves and the town in general from the Tooth Fairy, who for some reason that the movie doesn’t see fit to share with us has embarked on quite a rampage of random killing. Obviously not, since Kyle is still pretty screwed up himself. He seems to fear the same phantasm that’s been haunting Kyle all this time. His childhood sweetheart, Caitlin (Emma Caulfield), calls upon him after all these years because her little brother, Michael (Lee Cormie), is experiencing extreme night terrors.
DARKNESS FALLS TOOTHFAIRY PLUS
On the plus side, I’m guessing his diligence in the field of oral hygiene has increased dramatically.
Now, he’s on tons of medication and draws lots of pictures of the Tooth Fairy and still can’t really get a good night’s sleep. (If Matilda doesn’t want to be seen by people, then maybe she should just stay home, you know?) Kyle Walsh (Chaney Kley) saw her as a child and managed to escape her, but his mom got killed. So now it’s the present, and the legend in Darkness Falls is that when you lose your last baby tooth, Matilda the Tooth Fairy shows up in your bedroom, and if you see her face, she kills you. Next day, the missing kids turned up safe and sound - whoops! - and the secret of Matilda’s wrongful death was buried along with her. Probably helped her rebuild her house, even.Īnyway, for some reason mask-wearing Matilda was first on the list of suspects, so they hanged her, but before she died she placed a curse on the town. It’s not like they didn’t know why she wore that mysterious mask now, because they knew about the fire and everything. I don’t know why they did this she’d always been kind and beyond reproach in the past. Then a couple kids went missing, so the townspeople killed Matilda. Thereafter, she only appeared in public with a porcelain mask covering her horrid visage.
Then there was a tragic fire that burned up Matilda’s face and made her sensitive to light.
She became known as the Tooth Fairy around town. Now, 150 years ago, a gold coin was probably worth about $100 in today’s money, so you can imagine Matilda was very popular. According to the film’s narration, there was a woman 150 years ago named Matilda who loved children and would give them a shiny gold coin every time they lost a tooth. Are we to believe some pun-loving 19th-century fur-trapper or explorer stumbled upon a natural waterfall and decided to call it Darkness Falls? Whatever.Īnyway, this is beside the point, though it’s more interesting than what’s not beside the point, which is the movie, which is dull. Most towns with “Falls” in the name are so called because there’s a waterfall nearby. Which is a pretty stupid name for a town, really. If more effort would have been put into the script and the focus would be less on effects, then maybe this would have been a far better film.In “Darkness Falls,” Darkness Falls is the name of the town, like Bedford Falls in “It’s a Wonderful Life” or Kingston Falls in “Gremlins.” You can see how clever they are, because not only is the film about darkness falling, it’s also about a town called Darkness Falls!!!!!!!!!! Decent, but not as bad as what every one has claimed it to be, the film is worth watching if you have nothing else better to watch.
The problem with this film is that it relies way too much on special effects instead of having a tense, brooding atmosphere, which is at the core of every solid horror flick, and then maybe the film would have been better. As a whole it does do its job at being fun, but there are plenty of things that could have been changed. A decent horror outing, but nothing ever great, the film is just mildly fun entertainment if you can forget its flaws. The idea was interesting, but there just wasn't enough substance to the story to truly realize its potential. Darkness Falls is a decent outing, but it does lack in some areas and I think it could have toned down on the jump scares, which really didn't work. There's never anything going on on-screen to really make it good. I enjoyed it for the mindless entertainment it provided. The result is a horror film that relies on jump scares to deliver its tension. Despite this, it seems that the filmmakers were afraid of trying to do anything truly great with its idea. What I enjoyed about the film was the concept I thought it was very interesting. Decent horror yarn that could have been much better, Darkness Falls is not as bad as everyone has claimed it to be, but it leaves a lot to desired.
