The Darkness (2016) Movie Review

  

Over the years Kevin Bacon has starred in many films that people have enjoyed through the continuum of time, however...with The Darkness, I fear, this may not be the case. While previews lead viewers to believe that this movie has promise of scares and thrills, it is a bit of a lackluster. The  film is an entire amount of wasted space as viewers are left bored to death before any real scares come to life. Having said that, I caution you, to watch if you dare.

The film begins with the Taylor family on a vacation in the Grand Canyon. While camping alongside their friends, the families don't notice that something has gone wrong. The group of kids decide to go on a hike and leave the younger son Michael (David Mazouz) alone and he falls into an underground cave. Here Michael finds stones with special symbols on each top. These become his own special treasure, and the family goes back to their regular lives.

Five Iconic Horror Scenes

There is nothing like getting scared while watching a Horror film, and truly enjoying the fact that a movie actually scared the living daylights out of you. For horror film junkies, there are some horror genre movies that stick out the most. Included below are five film scenes that not only scare the heck out of you, but stick with you even after the film is over, when you have reminded yourself “It’s just a movie, it isn't real.”

Carrie's Grave

Even with it's release in theaters years ago, many people were petrified to go to any form of grave site due to this one specific scene. As one of the survivors visits Carrie White to leave flowers at her grave, she looks up at the sign that says Carrie White burns in hell. Right as she puts the flowers down, Carrie's hand reaches out from the grave and grabs her arm. As she screams with terror, her mother wakes her from her nightmare, and it turns out it is only a dream.

While it may be only a dream, it is still to this day one of the scariest movie moments in horror history.

Psycho – The shower scene

 Don't be frightened, it's only a beautiful woman in an eerie motel going for her warm shower. No need to be alarmed, or is there? Without knowing that there is a psychopath in the same motel, this innocent enough woman goes in for a shower to wind down from her eventful day.

As she's enjoying her shower all to herself, viewers see only a shadow behind the curtain. He pulls back the curtain and begins to stab her multiple times as she screams and tries to fight back. Unable to, she slowly collapses in the shower while it's still running, to the end of her life, but manages to pull down the curtain right before her death.

The Shining – The Twins in the hall

As far as horror clips go, this is one of the top five definitely. Little Danny is riding his bicycle throughout the hallway in the giant hotel and stumbles upon two twin girls who say hello. While he knows that there are no other children there, he is a bit frightened. They ask him to come to play, forever and ever. While they are asking him, the scene flashes between the "live" girls, and the girls on the floor massacred with a single ax lying next to their bodies.

Poor Danny is scared and petrified that there is nothing he can do except remind himself it isn't real and it's just like pictures in a book. One of the creepiest clips of it's time, The Shining is sure to frighten those who view it.

Paranormal Activity – Leg Pull

With the way horror films go lately, the supernatural or paranormal theme is very popular. In Paranormal Activity franchise, it is no different. Horror movie fans find themselves seeing a family that is being haunted by some sort of phenomenon which is out to do them harm. In this clip, viewers see as Kate who is sleeping in her bed with not a care in the world, finds herself being pulled out of bed by her leg, and out of the room screaming out for her husband Mikah to come save her and come to her aid. The scene itself provides chills and thrills for those who watch because it is something that everyone fears, that there is something under the bed, or that goes bump in the night.

This tale of the unknown follows through and provides even three more in the franchise to please and scare viewers even more.

The Ring -Samara

While this movie is also a paranormal type of film, it is a bit of a twist on ghost stories. The scariest movie clip from this entire film is when the man is at his studio apartment, and suddenly his phone rings, then the television comes on only as static. He turns off the television thinking it's a glitch, but soon the TV comes back on with the video itself that involves little Samara crawling out of the well as she comes closer and closer to the TV. Soon, Noah realizes that he's in for it now. Samara comes out of the TV still looking pale and pixelated to get him.

Who would think a little girl could cause so much trouble, but when they come out of the television right at you, you know you are in trouble. The ring brought the long haired little girl into the creepy girl, all within a few scenes.

Each of the above five movies were ones that will stick in the heart of horror movie fans everywhere. The five scenes may be different in essence, but from viewing each one, viewers are able to see that the horror scare truly has become that of an art.
