Amazon.co.uk Review
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Oh Dear..., 24 Oct 2004
I was quite looking forward to seeing this but have to say it is dreadful. I'm a big fan of horror films of all descriptions, modern, old, low budget etc but found this to be very poor.
The plot is ridiculous, and not explained or developed to any degree, (tooth fairy indeed). How the other reviewers have stated it is scary is beyond me, the effects are rubbish, it is utterly predictable, the 'story' is inconsistent and the acting is sub-rate.
See Wrong Turn instead, it's infinately better if you like low budget stuff. Darkness Falls is not even enjoyable in a 'this is so bad it's good' sort of way, it's just rubbish.
Honestly save your money this is dire stuff, it bombed at the box office and I have never seen or heard good reviews for this film until I looked on this site.

2.0 out of 5 stars THE TOOTH FAIRY DESERVES BETTER..., 6 Sep 2003
By Lawyeraau (Balmoral Castle) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Darkness Falls [VHS] [2003] (VHS Tape)
This is a movie that fails to deliver. The spooky beginning shows some real promise, as well as chills and thrills, but quickly careens into disaster, providing the viewer with nothing much but sheer boredom with an occasional thrill tossed in just to make sure that the viewer is still breathing.

The premise of the film is simple. About a hundred and fifty years ago in the town of Darkness Falls, an old woman used to give young children gold coins in exchange for their baby teeth. When two children turned up missing, a mob mentality overtook the town. The townspeople, blaming the old woman for the disappearance of the two children, hanged her for her supposed crime, but not before the old woman cursed the town and all in it. Later, the two missing children turned up alive and well. Oops!

Over the years, legend has it that the ghost of this woman, now known as the tooth fairy, murders those children who see her when she comes to collect their baby teeth. About sixteen years ago, a young boy saw the tooth fairy and lived to tell the tale. Unfortunately, his mother did not fare as well. Confined psychiatrically, he returns, as a young man, to his home town of Darkness Falls, where he finds his childhood sweetheart's baby brother being pursued relentlessly by this tooth fairy. Therein lies the tale.

With a script that would not pass muster in Writing 101, as it lacks intelligence and cohesiveness, as well as ham-handed directing and editing that leaves much to be desired, this is a film that simply does not pass muster. At times incomprehensible and down right ridiculous, the film boils down to pure drivel. Its initial promise in term of plot remains unfulfilled, and the film ultimately fails in its execution. All those participating in this production are hampered by the silly script, which does not provide the actors with much with which to work.

Save your money and do not buy this film. If, however, you are a horror film buff, as well as a glutton for punishment, rent it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Starts Off Good - Ends bad, 17 Oct 2003
By A Customer
I couldnt beleive how much hype this film got and in the end it wasnt that great at all! It was a typical "Cat and mouse" chase throughout! The story line is not set straight, For example the Tooth fairy only kills people if they look at her face (so they say) But dureing the film she just goes crazy and kills everyone! I wasnt scared at all and only jumped once. The toothfairy however was very cool to watch, she was very mysteriouse and the visuals were great!
