As someone who has been a big fan of Aussie director Greg McLean’s work over the last ten years, it pains me to admit that I was left somewhat underwhelmed by his latest project, The Darkness. The supernatural thriller features great actors who all deliver strong performances, a story and mythology I thought was rather interesting, and some cool visuals, but ultimately The Darkness doesn’t offer any real scares and suffers from a resolution that feels a bit too convenient.
In the film, we meet the Taylor family, who already has their share of battles even before some angry ancient spirits show up to try and destroy their familial bonds. Peter (Kevin Bacon) is an architect struggling to keep up with the demands of his job and his pushy boss (Paul Reiser) while attempting to piece things back together with his wife, Bronny (Radha Mitchell), after cheating on her.
