Darkness Rising (2017)

So bad I had to set up an account to review it and warn others.

[1/10 · 21 November 2017]

Where to start? This movie is bad from the time the three main characters appear, bickering on the front step of this abandoned yet dustless haunted house, and the badness continues through oh so many scenes of stupid, breathless, whimpering non-acting that I almost envied the one character who bleaches her eyeballs. I kept watching because I was sure my suffering would be rewarded at some point, but no. At times, the dialogue and hyperventilating was hilarious in a painful way. The movie was derivative without being allusive in any sort of meaningful way. A horrible pastiche of crude inanity.
