Humanity's fear of the dark provides Darkness Falls with some anxiety and fuels some jolts of fear from things popping out of nowhere. A kindly woman, who used to give children gold coins in exchange for their lost baby teeth, was hanged for a murder she didn't commit; in her last moments she laid a curse on the town (which has the unlikely name of Darkness Falls). So over the years the ghost of this woman has murdered various children because they saw her when she came to collect their teeth. In the present day, a boy who evaded her clutches returns to town as an adult in order to help the young brother of his childhood sweetheart--and from there this incoherent, inane movie is one long chase sequence without a glimmer of imagination or intelligence. --Bret Fetzer
DVD Description
As a young boy, Kyle (Chaney Kley) claimed to have seen the tooth fairy. He also claimed she tried to kill him. When evil emerges again, Kyle must return home to confront his troubled past and save his childhood sweetheart Caitlin (Emma Caulfield) and her younger brother, Michael. Kyle must do battle with the winged creature of doom he saw that night so many years ago, which has plagued the town of Darkness Falls for over one hundred and fifty years. Evil is back with a vengeance. And it’s not leaving without Caitlin’s brother.

Life for a tooth.,
By Spike Owen "John Rouse Merriott Chard" (Birmingham, England.) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Darkness Falls [DVD] [2003] (DVD)
As a young boy, Kyle Walsh {Chaney Kley} claims to have seen the fearsome Tooth Fairy kill his own mother. He also claims that having seen her, she wont stop until she kills him also. Years later, and still haunted by the experience of that night, Kyle must return to Darkness Falls to aid his childhood sweetheart Caitlin Greene {Emma Caulfield} and her kid brother Michael-who seems to be at risk from the Tooth Fairy this time around. Can Kyle confront his fears and end the 150 years of terror that has blighted Darkness Falls?
Pretty much despised by the discerning horror-phile, Darkness Falls, to me at least, is a creepy, interesting and totally enjoyable thriller/ghost picture worth reappraisals. From the excellent, and chilling opening credits {where we nicely have a back story to work from}, to the final confrontation, Darkness Falls ticks most of the ghostly requisites that is asked of it. Scary demon, troubled children {night terrors should be explored more in cinema I feel}, cannon fodder bullies, cannon fodder obnoxious coppers and a constant sense of unease and dread. All of which is provided in Jonathan Liebesman's {The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning} film. It's with the sense of dread that I feel Darkness Falls deserves a better reputation. Hand on my heart I know the film isn't a scary boo jump picture, something that is unforgivable to many genre supporters, but atmosphere goes a long way to creating a good thriller/ghost picture. Darkness Falls has it in spades. It's also a film that is a nice antidote to the blood beast torture sub-genre of film's that seep out from the multi-plexes on a seemingly weekly basis. Any expectation of an outright horror film should be quickly extinguished prior to a first time viewing, and if noise annoys and staccato editing bugs you? Well stay away. Also don't line up if one demands great acting in a budget restricted piece such as this, since both Kley & Caulfield are adequate at best. But give it a go if you understand that a preposterous plot, and preposterous set pieces are a pre-requisite for horror films of this type. I say that since I've seen many comments decrying Darkness Falls for it's unbelievable elements-only to then search their other comments to find praise for even more ludicrously plotted pieces! Or give it a go knowing it's more about the creeping stalking menace side of horror, or that it's also an action thriller as well as an uneasy story. Maybe just maybe you will enjoy it for what it is? Otherwise I guess you will be looking forward to Hostel 22 or another Jason Attacks The Eiffel Tower movie....... 7/10 RIP Chaney Kley, aged just 34.

Great,
This review is from: Darkness Falls [DVD] [2003] (DVD)
I first saw this in the cinema, it looked pretty good and after watching it I wasn't disappointed. The sounds of the women are enough to scare you, if you have surround sound then this is certainly the film for you, if not- it is still a great film however you may not experience the whole Darkness Falls experience.I recommend this to any Horror Film lover. The only bad thing I see about this film is that it does loose some of it's excitement after maybe the 3rd time in seeing it, however it is still a good film. And hey, it's a good film to watch with you friends if you've seen it...I guarantee they facial expressions will amuse you.

I watched this film when I was little and I remembered that this film is really horrifying, so I bought this to watch it again. However, its not that scary and I would recommend this to younger children.
