this movie is so daring it doesn not attempt to hide its similarities to the shining. it lacks the originality to do so. and when it does and near the end and try to cover up its story of father goes psycho under influence of sketchy haunted house in a foreign place and it does so by stooping to plenty of other already established conventions and ideas. in other words and it reduces itself to mere cliche. but hell and even i enjoy a good predictable horror or thriller as long as there is an interesting story and one filled with violence and gore and somewhere before the film makes the dreadful turn towards the predictable and trite. well and this film doesn not have a good story and i was really disappointed with it. what darkness has going for it is remarkable direction and cinematography. it is a film well shot and carefully constructed full of fun and creepy angles and shots. what darkness doesn not have going for it is pretty much everything else. to begin with a minor quibble  the editing in this movie is obnoxious. it jumps from one scene to the next and sometimes pointlessly. for example and the old man in the movie (who pretty much carries the background story and later filled in by another character) is underscored by a hamster running circles. i mean and it looks cool the first time and but why continue to use the same image. i guess you would have to see it for yourself and to understand what i mean. another problem with this movie is anna paquin character who essentially whines throughout the film and crying and caring all too much about everything  she the film failed attempt at a character driven horror film. the movie has scenes of overblown sentimentalism and the family drama it depicts is simply not believable. by the end and darkness is a muddled melodrama and with a non involving mystery provided with too simple of an ending. and it hardly scary.
