Retro Review: Darkness Falls

Upon first viewing Darkness Falls back in early 2003 Mike S and I found it to be a chilling little horror film featuring a great and unexpected villain in The Tooth Fairy. It's almost a decade later and the film is showing its age. The Tooth Fairy herself is awesome and there are some creepy moments, but the obvious trimming on the part of the studio to meet a PG-13 rating does detract from one's enjoyment. There's some nice atmosphere and Darkness Falls is technically well made and passably acted. Too bad they didn't aim for something a little rougher. A Bad for me.
