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. Rated: 2/4 Jul 1, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Anteupt N This was one of the most bizarre, unorganized movies I have ever seen. No plot, not scary, bad and boring acting - nothing but a slow walking “nanny” who does not even tend to the children and instead spends a lot of time in a bathtub. There was not even potential for a good plot here. Please save yourself from this disaster of a film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review Barbara G I just finished watching it on Prime Video. It seems the nanny is more intent on getting laid than actually watching the children. She keeps scaring the hell out of them with her ghost sightings. Plus she's completely okay with them running around outside in the snow unsupervised. She never makes sense of her ghost sightings and manages to send one kid to the hospital while she watches the other one drown. There is no resolution to the ghost plot and how it ties in with the destruction of the children the Nanny perpetrates on them. Confusing and unsatisfying ending. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Audience Member Some of the worst acting I have ever seen! Leelee should seek out another profession. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/01/24 Full Review Keri F Not scary but confusing, boring and unpleasant. I like Leelee Sobieski and don't mind watching low rated movies; there's usually SOMETHING interesting but not this one, lol. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review Logan L For all the competent acting, directing, and writing, although the latter isn’t as strong as the former two, this film didn’t seem like it knew where it wanted to go. Is this a genuine ghost story, a story about trauma/mental health, or both? It seems that we’ll never get an answer. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review 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.
