      Elvis D Una premisa fascinante, pero una mala película al cabo. Al principio empieza normal y se va tornando en una película de suspenso que despierta interés, pero después todo se torna confuso. Por momentos pareciera un film sobrenatural y por otros un thriller psicológico. Lo peor es el final que no deja para nada bien en claro si todo lo que le sucedió a la niñera protagonista fue por algo sobrenatural o por su trauma del pasado. Simplemente todo empieza a perder sentido y nada es coherente en este film. Por ende esta es una de las peores películas que se hayan hecho y por eso la califico con un 3/10. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/23 Full Review Audience Member The viciously negative reviews of this film are way off the mark. All the comparisons to the James novel smack more of "literary snobbery" than of honest analysis. The director freely admits it's an "adaptation" of the original story, and that he won't be held captive by such comparisons. Take the movie on its own merits and you'll find it fascinating and thought provoking. As for the sneering references in these reviews to weaknesses in the script, the editing, the music and the acting--quite wrong, and probably designed to show off the authors' supposed prowess. The reviews fail; the movie succeeds. (And, as for the frequent semi-nudity, it really does serve the story!) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member one of the worst, badly plotted, badly acted excuses for a movie I've ever seen. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of those movies that keeps making you think it's just about to get good, but it never really does. The first half hour or so shows a lot of promise. Then it's as though the writers, directors, producers, actors and basically EVERYONE on set just decided to punk the audience, and the whole thing falls apart and turns into a big steaming pile of nonsense. I wish I hadn't forced myself to sit through this in hopes it would eventually get better. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member i've seen bad movies and this one makes the list, total waste of time Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Can I give it minus one star?

      Boyd van Hoeij european-films.net In A Dark Place, while certainly competently directed, acted and shot, is too overstuffed with possible explanations to make any sense. Jul 16, 2007 Full Review Kam Williams NewsBlaze Leelee Sobieski, the innocent child-turned-teen star who took a break from showbiz to attend Brown University, makes it clear here that she'll have no problem making the transition to more mature roles.
