Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

M. Tucker To call this a movie a hidden gem, is not a hyperbole, but it reflects its quality.It is a dive into the darkness, in an unknown place that salvation seems so far away. I haven't seen a lot American horror movies which are more frightening than this. It's a shame that this movie didn't get the recognition it deserved. 5.1 is not a fair rate. I would give it a 7.5. I think that the reviewers should award efforts like that, for encouraging producers/directors/writers who don't have large budget in their movies, to keep their vision up. Finally, i must confess that i wouldn't have understood the meaning of the end if i had not read the interpretation here, in movie's page in IMDb. Maybe that was the only flaw, the end is a little confusing.

artpf Thora Birch, child of Hollywood porn legends, stars in a dual role -- blonde and brunette.One sees demons or killers or visions. Take your pick.It doesn't really matter.The movie rambles and barely tells a story. The music is over the top dramatic and frankly, becomes annoying in 10 minutes.Thora, like her mother, really can't act, so maybe she should consider the same route as mom.It's nearly impossible to follow the plot because it is exceedingly poorly directed.Scenes cut back and forth with no apparent reason.Endless talking that makes no sense and serves to bore the viewer to death.Stay away! Stay Away! It really stinks.

fedor8 There are two obvious reasons for the low IMDb average: 1) most filmgoers are lazy, non-thinking (even anti-thinking) morons, and 2) they didn't understand the ending. (1 and 2 are cause-and-effect linked, so both points can be unified into one Grand Reason or Theory Of Everything (That Makes The Daft Viewer Hate Quality).) DC is a relatively moody fantasy horror/thriller which may be utterly confusing hence exasperating to lazy and/or less intelligent viewers, but it nevertheless offers an ending that explains all of the preceding bizarre events.For those who didn't get it: the blond-Birch half of the film is a basic description of the last weeks/months in the life of the serial-killer's last victim. The brunette-Birch half is Hell itself, in which the killer re-lives over and over various events in his "past" life through the brunette Birch. The psychotherapist/killer is forever doomed to live out his own personal Hell, destined to bounce forever between two world like a ping-ping ball: between that of his actual victim, the blonde Birch, and the nightmare world of the brunette Birch, who never existed in the first place. The killer is thereby punished by having to re-experience his own crime, both from the perspective of his last victim and her non-existent brunette double.Not that the basic foundation behind this premise is anything wildly new or original. It is somewhat reminiscent of "Angel Heart", even more of "Hellraiser V", and who knows how many other movies. Nevertheless, the basic idea is presented here in a new way, hence to criticize DC solely on the basis of its premise would mean that nearly every single Western, action film, and family drama, would also have to be dismissed as utterly unoriginal and useless. The movie keeps you guessing, and there are no major loose ends. (In fact, considering that all of the events occur in "Hell", then there is no really need for every single detail to be explained neatly at the end, anyway. Some parts need to be left to the imagination... for those viewers who have it.) DC does NOT remind of "Lost Highway" much. Lynch's typically overpraised LH is a confused jumble of utter nonsense, all style and almost zero meaning, whereas DC has both a logical structure and a point.

slayrrr666 "Dark Corners" is a better-than-expected slasher with some good points.**SPOILERS**Trying to get pregnant, Susan, (Thora Birch) and David Hamilton, (Christien Anholt) become concerned about a series of weird dreams she's having. Trying to get to the bottom of the dreams, Dr. Woodleigh, (Toby Stevens) finds that they are the manifestations of stress towards an upcoming fertilization treatment and it stops them for awhile. Coming back soon after, she realizes that the dream-world manifestation of herself, Karen Clarke, (Thora Birch) has her friends stalked by a ruthless killer that is the re-embodiment of a killer in her world, and tries to use her skills to solve the killings so her dream-world part can stay alive while making sure to save the baby.The Good News: This one wasn't that bad when it had something to offer. The best part to this is that there's a great idea to this presented through the plot. Normally, the double identity trick is deployed differently, given off as the subconscious actions of her imagination that manage to get the point across, which is really unique and does work here. There's also the rather suspenseful way that the film utilizes the differences between them to generate some really nice atmosphere. The normal world is always light and fun, while the manifestations are always dark and dirty, really nice and managing to make them feel even worse than they already are. That's a fun tactic and really allows for some really creepy scenes, since it's always a little more tense and disturbing when it goes into that world. That's due to it really making use of some great slasher stylings. From the dark-masked, imposing killer to the way that the stalking scenes are set-up, which are well-done and rarely, if ever, disappoint, there's a lot to like. One of the better ones, where it stalks after a victim through a series of disgusting alleyways into the warehouse, complete with escape attempts and tactics to get away, leaving all of these scenes rather impressive and enjoyable. Some of the others, including one in the restrooms at the office and a tense confrontation within the home that records the fight over the phone to the oblivious party listening in, these confrontations are all pretty entertaining. The last good point is that there's a handful of really nice and particularly brutal kills. Besides the one where they're choked out on the phone cord, there's an incredibly graphic slit throat, another has their stomach carved open and is gutted and a whole mess of them are found mangled, torn up, dismembered, dissected and much more, leaving us with a lot of violent and bloody aftermath. All of these here are what make the film worthwhile.The Bad News: There wasn't a whole lot to this one that didn't work. The main factor in this one is the fact that there's just no way around understanding what's going on in here. Figuring out what happened in this one is going to take a major toll on the viewer, as this one is just nearly impossible to figure out, switching between the two worlds with relative ease and hardly makes any distinction, making it even harder to determine. Even beyond that, determining what the film is really about will give a real headache to many out there. Even worse, when the ending came along, it had the perfect opportunity to try to explain what had happened but instead, nothing at all made sense in this. This was an incredibly bad move and just really deflated the movie considerably, enough to really became a factor to get over and presents the movie with it's biggest flaw.The Final Verdict: With some good visuals but is really flawed when it comes time to think about it, this one isn't that bad. Give this one a shot if you're into that kind of film, find these interesting or just looking for something with something more to it than normal, while those who aren't fans should heed caution.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Nudity
