Summary: Don't believe the naysayers
Review: I have seen numerous reviews that absolutely slam this movie. Well, it's just not that bad. I went, expecting the worst, and was pleasantly surprised. The creature is much better than what you see on the poster and the sound is absolutely amazing. I caught myself looking behind me on a couple occasions. Sure there are inconsistencies in the plot and the killing is pretty damn random, but this is not rocket science! It's meant to be nothing but fun, and fun it is. To ... with character development and scenery, this provides some solid scares without over the top gore (not that that's bad). Check it out and don't miss the classic beer joke the lawyer tells Kyle after he buys him a draft. It's great. I'm not even sure they intended it considering it's the only humorous line in the script. Enjoy!

Summary: Disappointment
Review: the first 10 minutes or so in the movie where they showed the tooth fairy first it was a little scary so my friend and i were like "cool movie" as the movie droned on, our opinions changed. The tooth fairy and all that jazz was scary at first but it showed these repeated attacks with her and it got old, you were soon to anticipate when she would attack, except at the end. an okay plot. Good suspense movie but if you are looking to be creeped out, go for the first 15 minutes, and then walk into a different movie. The "tooth fairy" which the whole movie revolves around, isn't very scary, she has a porcleain dall mask.

Summary: Hysterical! - unless you take it seriously
Review: Oh, what can I say? The title of this movie sounds great until you find out what it's about. I mean, come on, an evil tooth fairy? What's next, a satanic Easter bunny? When the first few minutes are spent summarizing how evil the "entity" is, how scary, give or take a couple moments when the suspenseful music will make you jump, will the film really be? It's not at all scary and the fact that the actors overplayed being terrified throughout the entire movie (84 minutes which felt more like 84 hours), the whole thing just becomes funny. The plot is full of holes, like how is this adult man still being terrorized by the evil tooth fairy (ha, ha) even though he moves across the country and then tries to help the little boy by wanting him to leave town! What WAS that about? This is besides the point that the lead character goes back to Darkness Falls (what a great name for a town) at the request of a woman he hasn't seen since he was twelve! It just lacks in substance. The characters are completely one-dimensional, which can be expected in a horror film, but I draw the line at the idiotic things that come out of their mouths. And why is it that all recent horror films seem to have some sort of moronic, drunken hillbilly in them? Is it supposed to appeal to some demigraphic? In general, if you want to laugh until you cry (and I did) at what a horrible movie this is, go see it. Otherwise, stay away... far, FAR away!

Summary: SCARY !
Review: I saw this movies the second day it came out with my cousins we were so excited and nervious and scared at the same time! The movie is about a tooth fairy who kills kids after they loose their last baby tooth! The beginning is so...scary as well as the rest of the movie. You don't expect when the scary parts are going to happen, and close to the end you see the tooth fairy's horrible and scary face because her mask falls out, and the mask is made out of the teeth she collects from the kids she kills! The ending is so well done, but I don't want to spoil it for you! You will just have to go see it in theaters and get the hell scared out of you! Oh yeah and remember when the tooth fairy comes... "DON'T PEAK!"

Summary: A Great Thrill Ride!
Review: When I first heard about this film, I was completely hyped. Being a fan of suspense thrillers and a major fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, hearing that Emma Caulfield (Anya on BtVS) was the female lead just sold the deal for me. Then I started hearing all the bad reviews about it being an unoriginal film, not having good character development, and having one of the corniest monsters in recent "horror" movie history. First, let me say, DON'T LET OFFICIAL REVIEWS MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!! This movie, although lacking slightly in the character development; is still an amazing picture. Taking the children's legend of the "Tooth Fairy" and making it into a skin crawling chill fest. As a pre-teen young Kyle Walsh was a quiet kid, with a sweet mom, but his life changed on the night he lost his last baby tooth. That night, he places the tooth under his pillow and begins to fall asleep, only to be disturbed by a eerie and strange noise, he opens his eyes and catches a glimpse of "The Tooth Fairy", a haunted woman who was wrongfully murdered more than a century before. This causes a swift downward spiral resulting in the loss of a loved on in Kyle's life and the accusation of that persons murder. 12 years later his childhood sweetheart Kaitlin, is having trouble with her young brother, Micheal. He won't sleep, and refuses to be anywhere dark. Kyle is summoned by Kaitlin due to the similarities of his plit and Micheals. What ensues is a modern, freaky chiller. From a hallway chase, to a surreal battle in a police station, to the finale in the Lighthouse. I loved the use of light being the only way to fight the creature. And the way they use the lack of light to make tense scenes even more intense. The best part of the film to me, was the lack of actually screen presence of the "Tooth Fairy", but the truely frightening mixture of growls, shrieks and groans that make up the "Tooth Fairies" vocabulary, are the greatest chill in the film. All in all, this film is a great example of modern horror, that doesn't rely on gore and language to scare the crude out of you. A DEFINATE MUST SEE FOR ALL THRILLER, HORROR FANS!

Summary: Darkness Falls with a wimper
Review: Although not as bad as it could have been, "Darkness Falls" is most certainly not as good as it could have been. As directed by Johnathan Liebesman, we are served a non-stop plethora of rapid fire editing and gloomy visuals. While the idea is generally creepy, and the Tooth Fairy is quite scary to look at, we never really get to see the ghostly apparition because of the dark settings. The problem is simple, since "Darkness Falls" is like the billionth horror movie to be released in the last 10 years, the visuals are usually their saving grace. I'm sure the visuals are there, but the darkness that falls over this film won't allow us to see them.

Review: Skip it. A bad script makes for a bad movie, and this one is just dull, dull, dull. Nothing to redeem it.

Summary: Ignore the critics
Review: Most of them don't like anything but Drama and Adventure anyway. This movie will have anyone's heart racing. They made great use of sounds and music to emphasize the scary parts. Be prepared to bounce out of your seat starting in the first ten minutes. It's one of the only movies I have actually called scary. It rocks.
