Critics panned this, but honestly I don't get it. It's not ideal, it's a bit slow for an average person, but I enjoyed that. The acting is clunky here and there but nothing too bad, and in places it's stellar, especially by Anna Paquin and the actor who played her little brother. Visually, it's stunning, atmospheric and in places genuinely cinematic! The story builds up, the characters are not just throwaway plot devices, jump scares are minimal. Many fears are explored; among others loosing sanity, domestic violence, fear of dark, fear of supernatural, losing control in life, looking the loved ones suffer... I don't get the critics. More so when they praised the likes of conjuring and insidious, that despite all the popularity, are garbage compared to this, story wise, in terms of acting and definitely visually.
@miloradvlaovic4 ай бұрын
Insidious, The Conjuring and all the other BS movies under that same umbrella are absolute trash. A horror movie should make you think about your own fears and we ALL fear other humans something this movie touches on.

Note for future reference: If you're supposed to sacrifice 7 children, make sure you have about 10-12 on hand. That's so if one gets sick, was injured when you kidnapped them, or otherwise isn't up to the standards of the demon you're sacrificing them to you'll have a spare kid instead of getting cursed yourself for only sacrificing 6 children.

Re-Animator director Brian Yuzna made a good bunch of horror movies in Spain, back circa 2000. This one (which he produced, but not directed) is probably the best. Dagon, though cheesier, is also quite cool. Director Jaume Balagueró would later make REC·, which would see a (much inferior) American remake named Quarantine. And those dark motherfuckers crawling thru the ceiling scared the crap out of me as a kid XD

Critics panned this, but honestly I don't get it. It's not ideal, it's a bit slow for an average person, but I enjoyed that. The acting is clunky here and there but nothing too bad, and in places it's stellar, especially by Anna Paquin and the actor who played her little brother. Visually, it's stunning, atmospheric and in places genuinely cinematic! The story builds up, the characters are not just throwaway plot devices, jump scares are minimal. Many fears are explored; among others loosing sanity, domestic violence, fear of dark, fear of supernatural, losing control in life, looking the loved ones suffer... I don't get the critics. More so when they praised the likes of conjuring and insidious, that despite all the popularity, are garbage compared to this, story wise, in terms of acting and definitely visually.
Insidious, The Conjuring and all the other BS movies under that same umbrella are absolute trash. A horror movie should make you think about your own fears and we ALL fear other humans something this movie touches on.
Yeah, slow is good for for me too. I guess, as you said, the average person wants full action and story unfolding ten minutes in^^ Critics too. But I like the slow burn. It's more like a book.
A film with good camera work and editing. That's what makes the magic happen for this one.
Wow, 22 years old! I figured it was less than 7-8 years at the most. I should have realized this was a younger Anna Paquin. Very well done beginning to end.

Reviews made by stuffy, pompous asses in advertising or the competing movies opposition. Nobody cares. They are just trumped.up nonsense from some twit nobody would pay attention to in public. Just people posting nonsense that has no bearing on the public in Choosing What they enjoy. I never liked people who comment about so called ratings based on some fake critic.😂🤷🇨🇦✌️
The absolute epitome of Horror movies. All the cast was superb. The ending broke my heart...
yep, thats what horror movies do. 😢😭😱
Cast is superb? 🤔
Great movie...good actors, specially the 2 siblings....the boy looks like my son....love you boy..😍😍
Someone finally put on here Thank You ❤
this is a horror film folks. now this is a horror movie. well it's one of those suspenseful supernatural thrillers. it's a thriller. it's definitely a good horror movie. superb acting. i like lena olin. i like anna paquin. superb.
Fail, the best horror movies are slasher and not supernatural...supernatural doesn't exist , only science..that's why it's not scary..and that's why ur post is a fail..sorry 😅😢😊lol
Jason vorhees...now that's some scary shit...the best supernatural film mightve been poltergeist where the psychic was based on Helena blavatsky.lol😅😮

Note for future reference: If you're supposed to sacrifice 7 children, make sure you have about 10-12 on hand. That's so if one gets sick, was injured when you kidnapped them, or otherwise isn't up to the standards of the demon you're sacrificing them to you'll have a spare kid instead of getting cursed yourself for only sacrificing 6 children.
It's a shame how some parents don't take their kids seriously 😒
yeah, I don't understand why all horrors are made like that. well it wouldn't be a movie if the parents took their kids seriously
@@joairiaamatullah608 I just begin to wonder if it's like that in real life 😐
Born , unborn or all 3.?
Parents don't take their kids seriously,and by the time they do it's usually too late.
If it were my child, I’d take them straight to a psychic…and move out
Agree with bryonjeffrey comment 👍 sums it accurately Loved the movie Thanks for sharing 👍
Remarkable how this movie always seemed to stay under the radar. It still gives me the creeps.
well it is a suspenseful psychological thriller. you know a thriller. suspense. this film is about the dark history of that house. of that country home. an atmosphere of dread slowly becomes evident in the house. supernatural occurrences get more and more intense and threatening. it is more of a supernatural thriller than psychological. than a psychological thriller. it's a lot more complex than that. and that is the truth.
Still one of the best horror movies ever made I don't care what the main stream media says
Underrated, underhyped, overlooked, and completely disarming in its unforgiving portrayal of apocalyptic spiritual horror. A hopeless ending for the ages...
Oh yeah!
@@jayblack7495 You must be the director's dad....lol

Really interesting movie! The whole cast did a great job, but Anna Paquin stole the show!
Those curves did most of the work
She always does!
@@user-rc2xs5ti2w she is a great actress.
Oh damn, did not see that coming. This is a superb film. Anna Paquin delivers. Lena Olin has creeped me out forever, good casting there.😂 I never get scared and I felt a bit of chest tightening in a couple scenes. Definitely a good horror film.
The Ninth Gate she portrays a Satanist,wealthy woman. She is a good actress for sure to give you that reaction.😅
@@Lil_Poohfluffybum First saw her in Unbearable Lightness of Being. She's still pretty too :)
Exactly I was going to put that on the comments and I said to myself nobody's going to believe that everybody says I never get scared but I don't scare easily and it scared me at points
Nice to see Giancarlo in a film again. He was Lina Wertmuller's male muse for many years.
This is a very old movie
This movie scared the living daylights out of me when I was young and I’ve only just found it! Phew
Same! Most terrifying movie from my childhood. Couldn't sleep for days after.
Same, for me, especially the end
Same, I saw it when I was ten and it really scared the bejeezus out of me, I was literally traumatized
Scared me too.
Me too!!
I am not fun of anything that is evil...Horror is not my cup of tea but it is well done. Good acting and interesting cinematography.
After reading a few comments here, it's clear that more than a few people don't understand this film at all. It's a tremendously horrifying piece of writing. Its truly dark, truly evil. Look for an explainer. But again, I can't recommend anyone watch it a second time, or one time.
You're right about that.
Sad but true. I’m confused and disappointed. It has a star filled cast, but that’s about the only thing going for it. Parts of it are scary, but the story doesn’t flow, or give us a satisfying conclusion. Bad writing, or bad direction, or both?
I like Lena Olin. She has an unsuspecting devilish presence that helps set the tone in these kinds of psychological thrillers. It's no doubt why Polanski chose her in the Ninth Gate with Johnny Depp.
Ghosts are always smart they always go for the kids first😂
😂 they know that's the only way to get to us lol
I saw the last ten minutes of this movie on TV but its good to see it all on here. Thankyou
When it comes to this movie my opinion is: Solid cast Good acting Good story line. If you're a fan of horror films, then as a free flm on KZhead i suggest giving it a watch.
Película española sin subtítulos en español, gracias bonito detalle.
Great movie! I wish they still made true horror movies like this!!
I love this movie!! Wish there were more like it. Edgy, ❤️ it!😊
This film was more baffling than frightening, it made absolutely no sense at all and it was full of false trails that led nowhere. I'd only give it 1 star for effort.
I agree,after 10 mins I went back to my crochet,all style and no substance
Enjoyed, a very good thriller. All the actors totally convincing! A+++🤗

Re-Animator director Brian Yuzna made a good bunch of horror movies in Spain, back circa 2000. This one (which he produced, but not directed) is probably the best. Dagon, though cheesier, is also quite cool. Director Jaume Balagueró would later make REC·, which would see a (much inferior) American remake named Quarantine. And those dark motherfuckers crawling thru the ceiling scared the crap out of me as a kid XD
Well, a really awesome movie, edge of seat stuff, with an awesome twist at the end. Thank you.
This is the kind of horror I like watching. It keeps me expectant on what's about to come next. On the other hand, every ghost has their story. This one is about the children who never had the chance to live their own life. They were prisoners in that house.
Just started watching hope the move is worth watching
Wow what a great movie I was absolutely scared at points and the ending was fantastic. I saw some type of remake of this didn't compare to the original at all❤❤❤❤
This is the best Anna Paquin's supernatural horror movie ever😈🔦🤘🤘🤘
Very stylish and subtle provocative supernatural thriller not too gory depicts evil spirits that can fool only the brotger and sister are immune through love .Worth the watch.
Really good movie & well worth a re-watch. Great actors pulling the suspense (I'd watch Iain Glen open an envelope... 😂) . Quality. Sometimes you watch a movie & wonder if the other reviewers were drunk, stoned or asleep while the movie played, but this one is really worth the reviews. Quality suspenseful psychological horror. No gore or unnecessary cringey sex scenes. Get the popcorn 🍿
I agree 💯😊
This film literally scared me to death. The only reason why this has suddenly peaked my interest again is because of 1:15:18, the eclipse which we just had.
I love beautifully filmed stylish. Movies and the music in the film was great a film should be a feast for your eyes and you can tell by all the camera angles it was a lovingly made film
Waiting for Dad to say "Here's Johnny!....🤣🤣🤣
I know my dad's still here,he shows his self to my granddaughters ,my girl friend, although I can't see him my dad does..he left this world broken hearted my mother an dad were on bad terms when he passed, I have tried to help him move on,but he stays.I believe he's protecting us from something or afraid to pass over😢
Que pelicula estupenda tio! Muy bien!!! Gracias muchas por compartilhar!!!
one of the best without a doubt!
great movie. thank you
Thank you for the movie. Lots of suspense. ❤
How watch it because of your comment 😁
Movie is good yes but doesn't make me ... happy, doesn't satisfy me
*Spoilers ahead* Really like this movie, first time I saw it was with my mom after it came out on DVD. We sometimes quote the creepy little girl ghost/demon who phones Anna's character and says "we're watching you...biiitch" in a whispery sweet little voice. Also the scene at the end when we think they're escaping the house but they get in the wrong car.
I don't usually comment on Horror movies just for the fact most of them suck; however, Darkness was a good movie.
One of the best !
10 anos procurando esse filme
Cant run from it! Only way out is through payer.
Well paced. How a horror movie should be.
This film is so overwhelmingly dark! Too dark.
Let the boy sleep with a damn nightlight, I’m 43 and I still sleep with a light on 😬
Same
😂😂😂😂😂
Plus it’s creepy and very eerie when you’re sleeping in a new house. I was scared and frightened at age 11 in our new house. Then even at age 37 when we moved into our new house. Not as bad as age 11……but still.
unexpected ending wow, great movie
So many credits for people involved in this. What a waste of time and money! It was great when the thunder stuck (9.45) with huge volume increase. It woke me up and made me realise it was time to watch something else.
I'm with you,I just don't find it that good ,not scary at all
DANG!!! GREAT HORROR MOVIE! Thank You for sharing this with Us right during the HALLOWEEN 🎃 Season. Many Blessings Y'all ✝️🙏💗🕊🇺🇸
i think this move got more silent hill vibes than silent hill movies itself
yeah it remind me too, when u approach the end of a silent hill game, everything start to get fucked up ^^
This was an interesting one. It had some of the usual tropes but for the most part it is kind of really different from the usual's in this kind of movie. I think it was quite unnerving for unique reasons and the ending is really good too. I would rate this quite highly. maybe like an 8/10. Definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it.
So worth the watch. It has several flaws, but this is a rare occasion of flaws adding charm.
please give english tranlation below in writing. that would be much useful.
I saw this in the now closed Oaks Theater in Berkeley, CA.
Hey channel owner, could you please turn the English captions or auto generated captions on?? I'm deaf and would really like to watch this, but obviously cannot due to no captions. I bet alot of deaf and hard of hearing would love to watch this. I'll check back later in hopes you turned them on. Thanks in advance if you do. 😉
deaf or not, the dialogue is so quiet compared to everything else, it's almost unlistenable
@@seriousros7280 Good to know, thanks! The channel owner still hasn't enabled it so I actually forgot about it until I got your comment. I'm just passing on movies now that don't have cc since there's plenty others to watch. Fk em! 😉
Do you find AI transcriptions irritating? I've noticed some terrible mistakes. Spelling, grammar and just plain wrong. Human brains do a far superior job IMO@@fadetoblond
@@seriousros7280 I like the auto generated captions most of the time. However, they don't always work the best on some movies, especially older ones. I also notice they don't always do well with cellphone audio either when I watch just random videos, like pranks, Karen videos, police videos, things like that. On news videos I always prefer the auto generated captions.
🙂All The Best@@fadetoblond
Thank you ❤
This was one scary movie..thanks.
"Darkness"(2002) is a good enough supernatural horror movie!
She's a good actress!!❤❤❤
Great movie
Thanks for the upload. Great cast & top rate movie. Much appreciated.👍🏻😊
it's a very scary full horror movie yai.....yai..... 👺👹😱
Pure evil and sadistic film. Who noticed the 7 faces in the windows?
Wow! Great watch!
Fantastic film. Thank you 😊
Wow. Yt has some gems
That movie is the Truth that is going on today. Open your eyes. The Darkness will not win !!!!!!!!
Yeah Psychos and satanists I was thinking it was well done because it had earmarks of a true story
It kind of did here though. The whole family ended up in hell. The kids didn't get out, they were with something that wasn't the daughter's friend. He was at the house. Whatever that was that was driving them away wasn't her friend and the moment they entered that tunnel they were right back in hell.
a Spanish movie with english voices. Interesante!
I have just realised that it's a younger version of sookie from True Blood.
Ótimo filme 🖒
Great flick!
If I were part of that family I would think about moving
A artistic, physilogical thriller, supernatural. This type of style is called fun house, experimental. It looks like the director had fun creating this and it was shown. Some scenes where just wow. The story was bit confusing to follow. l ended up liking it a lot more than l thought l would. 6 out 10 for me
Little Sookie Stackhouse, and Game of Thrones guy, nice.
I didn't get the end at all. It didn't end, in my opinion. Very weird. Darkness. So, the father dies? What happens to the mom and the granddad? And the six other children? No clue. I skipped like 30 minutes, because it got too boring. Whispered dialogues that I could hardly make out. The rest often too loud. Certainly not the best horror or thriller I have seen.
It looked like the makers had no idea how to end it, so it just stopped!
Finally someone said it! This movie was horrible and tough to watch. Both my husband and I barely made it through. Not scary, terrible acting and just a horrible story line. So disappointed. I really liked most of the actors too. I just think it was just the bad story that made the acting seem so bad. Just bad all the way around
I owned this movie years ago. I thought it was pretty good. I also always thought Anna was a Pretty Plain Jane..
I just watched The Changeling and it was great. This was the next movie to come up in my feed.
I'll check it out next I live for horror movies especially October month
I hate movie parents always so frustrating but that’s the reason I’ll always listen to my kids😂
Subtítulos please.
Mark has a sort of Jack Nicholson’s “Johnny” vibe from The Shining. 😳
I found the shining a joke,too long suspense parts in the movie,alot of screaming
Interesting movie real horror nice movie.
The ending... so fucked up
Mãe tá mas preocupada em socorrer o cara do que protege os próprios filhos fala cerio
Exellent movie
That doctor Luigi makes a awesome bad guy.
Never got the ending if it didn't want them y keep them...
