Movies recommended or seen lately... les films a voir #74: Darkness

Genre: Horror/Horreur

Annee/Year: 2002

Format: DVD

Darkness. hmmm...so you never heard of Jaume Balaguero. This is a good way to meet him. He is a young producer with a series of great horror movies. If Darkness does not ring a bell try Fragile or REC or REC2. Still no bells, well try Quarantine which is the US remake/adaptation of REC. AH! so you knew a bit about him or maybe not if you are not amateur of the genre.

Well Darkness casts Anna Paquin, Lena Olin and Iain Glen as a family moving into a new house only to be plagued by the house's history. So up to now this seems pretty well done before.
Wrong but you will need to watch the end of the movie to see the rest of the story which is original.

The movie is well acted and wel realised. The special effects are quite convincing without being an extreme movie. A good way to get to know Jaume.. All will enjoy.

Ce film du producteur Jaume Balaguero met en vedette Anna Paquin, Lena Olin et Iain Glen comme membres d'une famille qui déménage dans une maison au lourd passe. Bien entendu ce passé les rejoint vite et on démarre ce suspense avec des joyeux fantômes comme dans plusieurs films au scénario similaire. Jusque-là pas de surprise. Mais continuez a visionner le film et vous découvrirez le génie de Jaume Balaguero qui a aussi produit d'excellents autres films du genre: Fragile ou REC ou REC2 ou la version adapte aux US appelée Quarantine. Tous d'excellent film d'épouvante.
