Dark Spirits (2008) User Reviews

Not THAT bad

[heyteegs · 4/10 · 7 April 2015]

It did take me a while to get into the flow of Dark Spirits; it is very slow-moving. The blurb I read called it heart-stopping and that is one thing it definitely is not. It's not very scary either with just a couple of The Ring-type jumps and there is some pretty bad editing. But it does have a little creep factor, some atmosphere, an interesting leading lady and the city of Prague as its backdrop. I'll add that the story is confusing so you might really want to pay attention. I do think I understood the plot in the end although maybe I didn't. Still and all, I thought it could use another IMDb review to add some balance. I've seen a lot worse than Dark Spirits.

I see dead people.

Eva (Milena Minichová) returns to Prague with her boyfriend (Marko Igonda). Her sister dies and she keeps seeing her in a red coat, shades of "Don't Look Now." Except this is all a dream, maybe, and the dark spirit is coming for her because....well it is and she and her bff have seen spirits since childhood.

That's about it....Oh the guy in the park. Now That's it. Very boring. Nothing like the DVD cover. Felt like watching a bad 1970'ds horror. Managed to make it to a 10 DVD pack.

Guide: F-word. Implied sex. Was that a nip slip in the tub?

Words can't describe how much I hate this film.

This film is easily the worst film I've ever seen it's as about as interesting as watching paint dry. No wait even worse than that it's as bad as watching paint that's already dry. To start the images on the box of the girl and the house rant even in the film so I felt completely conned as that's what I paid to see. Also Nothing happens throughout the who film just people talking and drinking cups of tea. Nothing happens until the last five minutes and when the s**t does hit the fan you don't even care. Another note is every time you think it's about to get interesting it just disappoint's for example it sets it up for a sex scene but instantly cut's to afterwards and instead we see the main character drinking a cup off tea, how very interesting. To conclude this is the most boring film you will ever see. Seriously keep away from this garbage.

Less talk and more action!

DARK SPIRITS, a soporific attempt at a psychological thriller made in Prague, does not feature the scary-looking monster on the video box. Instead, it features a vacuous blonde named Eva, who starts seeing and hearing weird stuff after the murder of her sister, Tereza. For the most part, the main characters sit around, drinking tea and BSing with each other.

Finally, the dark spirit that killed Tereza does Eva the same favor. The now-dead siblings walk away hand-in-hand, presumably to the spirit world, while the viewer is left scratching his head over the unanswered questions the story had raised.

Did Eva's psychic friend, Petra, summon the dark spirits to kill the sisters? If so, why? We don't know; the filmmakers don't care. And I'm not about to watch this thing again in the hope of finding answers.

Bad Ending.

Bad ending, it just sad and need a revenge on those evil spirits and crazy guy too.

Useful, atmospheric but disjointed horror.

'Dark Spirits' set in Prague, is way better than the average rating on IMDb. Not sure why it's hated it so much (and have seen far worse). The film has some creepy vibes (and a little promise) but found the soundtrack too overpowering and in places where silence would have been more effective. As the film moves on (at quite a slow pace), it becomes quite disjointed and harder to keep tabs on the characters. I know this is what the director intended but it's going to lose some viewers along the way.
