Summary: Don't watch if you want to be scared....
Review: To me the only thing that made this movie worthwhile was the CGI 'Toothfairy'. While there are some moments that will make you jump, you spend a lot of time rolling your eyes at the too numerous to count "Stay in the light!!" references. First off, the age differences in the children she's attacking is amazing. There's a 12 year old and a, um, 7 year old both losing their last tooth......O...K...... Then, they introduce characters into the story but don't reveal their names, plot devices, importance until 15-20 minutes later. You miss the scarier stuff trying to figure out who the latest idiot is. All in all, DON'T buy the DVD, you'll hate yourself in the morning. But it's worth a rent as long as you don't like movies to make you think.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I never thought I would be afraid of the Tooth Fairy !
Review: I don't care what anybody says, I think this movie was scarier than the ring. I've heard most people say that the story was silly compared to the ring but I think that the thought of a ghost haunting people from a video cassette is ridiculous. I would have more dignity getting killed by a tooth fairy than a 15 second VHS on any day. I can't believe this movie is PG-13. It scared the {heck} out of me!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Toothfairy rules
Review: ... I think it's alot better than most horror films as of late including the ring. Not better than the three Ringu films but very good. Can't wait for the sequel.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A life for a tooth?
Review: So what ever happened with the nice little tooth fairy that is suppose to leave you money not kill you if you see her? this movie scared me and my friends out of the party at another friends house because all they have there is those glow stick thingy's. Half of my friends are sleeping with nightlights still. So the tooth fairy cursed the town and kills who ever she see's and goes to another house why dosen't she just get a better job. Kyle Walsh must have fun in that jail cell because that is where he is most of the movie instead of with "Cat" and her brother who has also seen the toothfairy. All I have to say to them is KEEP YOUR DAMN EYES CLOSED! tsk tsk tsk. The plot was ok and the acting was great but the special effects were dull.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Laughable, without the laughs
Review: Ugh. Empty plot, weak acting, and to even mention The Ring in the same sentence is a disgrace unless the sentence reads: This movie is NO WHERE near as good as The Ring. This almost becomes a copy of Pitch Black with a lean towards dentistry, though not even in the same legue as Pitch Black. What's funny is how sometimes the "demon" can swoop into the light, and sometimes it can't. Just a sad and uneven experience, no wait, it was even, it fairly bad throughout.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Creepier than the Ring
Review: I saw this movie in the theater and there were many times that I was jumping because something unexpected happened. I found this more pleasing than The Ring. I won't say that it wasn't predictable but at least I didn't fall asleep like I did when I saw The Ring. Definitely rent it because I doubt you would watch it more than once. So don't waste your money buying it

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: what a waste of what could have been great.
Review: dumb, dumb, dumb, can describe this film . it's great at first but loses steam very fast first 20 mins of the picture & the rules they made they broke which bugged me alot it was scary then it was joke avoid this at all cost , but if you want a heckle then rent it. PG-13 in tense situations & profanity . not for little kids i'm warning you.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: In Sheer terror it raps rings around the ring.
Review: TALK ABOUT FALSE ADVERTISING! The only scary part was the beggining and that was it. The rest of the movie was cliche after cliche! If you want true terror see the ring or the exorcist.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Painful
Review: This is the most painful movie I have watched in a looong time. The cover of the box says that it runs circles around 'The Ring' and like a dummy I fell for it. This is one of the worst horror movies I have ever seen. This kind of movie should fall into a new genre called 'total garbage' or 'waste of money'. It features some of the worst acting I have ever seen in a major motion picture.

Chaney Kley delivers the most wooden acting performance I've endured in quite some time. In one scene he's supposed to be witnessing the deaths of a half dozen police officers but the best look Kley can muster is a look of boredom or disinterrest as he stiffly mutters 'Stay out of the darkness'.

The excrutiating methods that the movie goes through to keep the plot going made me feel like someone was slowly knocking a nail into my head. The situation is this: the villainous spirit hates the light sooooo our hero carries around a satchel full of flashlights to keep himself safe BUT the flashlights get comfiscated by the police. THEN during a storm all the electricity in the town gets knocked out. The emergency lights click on but OOPS the police accidently start shooting the lights out. Our hero makes his way to the local hospital but it turns out their emergency lights only stay on for a few minutes???? So everyone is trying to escape as the lights flicker off one at a time. One would think that the lights would just shut off all at once but this is Darkness Falls where the world works in strange and stupid ways. Our heroes escape in a car but manage to break their last flashlight. At this point I screamed 'Can they find a [bleep bleep] light source that can last for more than three [bleep]in seconds?'. They get to a lighthouse and light a lamp which immediately starks to flicker and sputter out. The light in the lighthouse wasn't working and I sat dumbstruck at how much this movie made me wish I was doing something, ANYTHING besides witnessing this crud.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A very dissapointing Movie........
Review: When I first saw the preview and the review that Darkness Falls is scarier than "The Ring",I knew this had to be a great movie, I was wrong. First of all, its so predictable because its that same recycled " Im Not Crazy!" story line . Second when ever some one gets killed its so fast and dark that at some scenes, you don't even know what your looking at. I must admit, the begining was scary and made me jump but from there the movie gets more boring and less scary. Most importantly this movie is definitly not scarier or better than " The Ring" because it dosent even come close to the suspense of that great movie . Lastly, the movie seems so short since every scene goes so fast. It just seems like a bunch of people came up with ideas and just thrown them together with not enough detail or terror.If you really wanna see a scary movie, don't rent this because this dosen't even belong in the horror category
