The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Darklands (1996)

Starring: Craig Fairbrass, Jon Finch, Rowena King
Director: Julian Richards

Premise:
A journalist investigating a death of a factory worker stumbles upon a cult with sinister intentions.

My Take:
The movie has a solid mystery and strong lead with just enough bizarre things to keep you interested. However it falls just short of being a great cult classic. Maybe a little more layers in the story would have helped or it just went full on crazy instead of touching the surface. In the end it's watchable.

Rating: In the middle

Watched: DVD purchase
