SnoopyStyle Some 150 years ago in the town of Darkness Falls, kindly widow Matilda Dixon would give coins to the children who lost their teeth earning the nickname the Tooth Fairy. She got burned in a fire, forced to wear a mask and became sensitive to light. When two kids went missing, the town blamed her and killed her. It was a mistake. The kids came home and the town covered up the incident. In modern times, Kyle Walsh loses his last tooth. The Tooth Fairy comes and kills his mother. He escapes and forced into foster care. Twelve years later, childhood friend Caitlin Greene (Emma Caulfield)'s brother Michael has night terrors. She contacts Kyle (Chaney Kley) who also has the same fears except he has gathered a range of tactics to protect himself.I really like the idea of making the Tooth Fairy as a monster. It has a Brothers Grimm feel to it. What I really like is that it touches some really deep DARK primordial fears. Darkness is all encompassing and can be used very effective for fear. This is a movie about fear of the dark corners of the screen. It's not the most original idea and Chaney Kley is not an expressive actor. There are no hot young chicks. One can also nitpick this movie to death about the monster and the lights. The problem is that she has to have some light for her to be seen by the audience. In the end, this will F up the kids especially if they watch it in the dark.

Cosette R. Even though this movie was pretty stupid along with bad acting, it scarred me for life. My brother and I like to watch scary movies so one night he showed me this one. For some reason it stuck with me, night after night I couldn't sleep. I am already afraid of the dark so the thought of the tooth fairy lurking around in the dark did not sit well with me. I always thought she was floating over my head waiting for me to look at her face so that she could kill me. I know it is 2014 and nobody is probably going to see this but I felt the need to write this because I couldn't sleep. It has been a few months now and I still occasionally think of the "tooth fairy". Tonight I thought I saw a dark figure above me and I nearly had a panic attack. I am only 13 and I have been watching scary movies since I was five but for some reason this one in particular really has made me mental. I know it is fictional but the thought of it makes me sick. I'm not saying that this movie is bad and that you shouldn't watch it but if you are sensitive and rather young like myself then I would most likely reconsider watching this film. I just wanted to write this to calm my nerves and talk about my experience with this movie.

Dalbert Pringle Strolling down "Memory Lane".........I remember back when I was a darling, little angel of 5 (the world's sweetest, according to my Mom) and one day I came crying to my Dad with one of my first baby-teeth clutched tightly in my baby-fist. It had been working itself loose in my mouth and I had been jiggling it around with my tiny fingers. Suddenly, to my baby-surprise, it came out, followed by a rich flow of blood.The gushing of the blood is what got me bawling. Good, old Dad quickly knew what to do. Without hesitation he picked me right up and plunked me down on his knee. He then took an inquisitive look at my tooth and without missing a beat proceeded to pacify me with a story about the "magic" and mysterious Tooth Fairy.Dad's telling of this quasi-ancient tale calmed me right down. I was fascinated, as only a child could be. The Tooth Fairy in my mind's eye became a sort of enchanted cross between Tinkerbell and The Blue Fairy (from Pinocchio). Yes, the Tooth Fairy was most decidedly female.After my initial introduction to the Tooth Fairy, via Dad, I couldn't wait to trade the rest of my pearly, little choppers in for some more cold, hard cash. How I wished that I had had a lot more teeth to swap with The Tooth Fairy, it could've turned into a regular, little gold-mine for me if I did.The end of the "Memory Lane" stroll.The movie Darkness Falls goes nowhere near any stroll down Memory Lane. In fact, Darkness Falls is exactly like running for your life, in heart-pounding fear, down a broken, old path in the pitch darkness while thorns and nettles continually tear at your flesh and scratch at your eyes.Darkness Falls instantly turns any fond memories of childhood naivety into a screaming, hideous nightmare of brutal retribution. Darkness Falls deliberately strips away the Tooth Fairy's sweet charm and mystery to expose its charred, disfigured face beneath. The Tooth Fairy's own ugliness is only surpassed by an onslaught of hateful, score-keeping vengeance.I guess whoever was behind the Darkness Falls' screenplay must have been totally traumatized as a child by the Tooth Fairy, or something. I can't imagine what would've come out of this person's typewriter had he/she been menaced by the Easter Bunny, or even Santa Claus.So, be it a childhood fantasy about the Tooth Fairy, or not, Darkness Falls is an absolutely rotten movie from start to finish.

Raul Faust At first, this film already deserves some applause, since it's a horror production released after 2000 WITHOUT a using a haunted House as its main premise, so it has my considerations for being, at least, original. The Tooth Fairy tale is surely very childish and hard to imagine as an horror story, but this film almost makes it frightening and credible. I mean, I'm an adult and this may sound even cheesy at times, but kids will probably be afraid to sleep after giving it a chance. Albeit "Darkness Falls" tries to convince as a serious movie sometimes, at least it admits it doesn't have enough entertaining material to extend it's length, editing the whole thing into short 86 minutes, which is very well thought. Ten minutes longer would make it feel tiresome, believe me. Sadly, it doesn't avoid the horror cliché of the drawer child, but it's forgiven, considering it avoided many others. PS: I just found out Chaney Kley passed away some years after this movie was produced, and it is really curious that he died of sleep apnea, which is similar to his character's trouble in the picture. Really such a shame.
