Movie Reviews
I'm
going to do this short and sweet: This film starts out like an episode
of "True Detective" or "Touching Evil", and then as it comes down to the
final inning, shifts into a beautifully paced and developed revelation,
that is truly unexpected and chilling.
Charlize Theron, as always, is amazing. Her performance here has the intensity of both "Monster" and "North Country, " and she gets great support from the supporting cast.
Ignore negative reviews. This is a film that you need to see and then make an opinion about. For me, this was a very satisfying and effective movie that deserved far more accolades than it has received.
After viewing "Dark Places", It is hard for me to comprehend that it is not receiving a positive buzz right now. After being somewhat disappointed with "Goodnight Mommy" and seriously disappointed with "It Follows," "Dark Places" is a thriller that actually thrills. Bottom line" you need to see it!
