In A Dark Place would be classed as a psychological horror/thriller. It stars the underrated Leelee Sobieski or as I like to call her Helen Hunts mini-me.Telling the story of a girl hired as a nanny of two less than usual children at a wealthy estate and her dwindling mental health.Also starring long forgotten English actress Tara Fitzgerald from the likes of Brassed Off (1996) this is an utter mess of a film from opening credits to closing.Immensely boring, poorly written and incredibly crappily made In A Dark Place is an instantly forgettable film with practically nothing going for it at all.The Good: Leelee Sobieski The Bad: Weak writing Terrible plot Bad finale Awful child actors Things I Learnt From This Movie: It may be roles like this that drove Sobieski to near retirement

Flora and Miles have a new governess in the slightly mental, Anna Veigh (Leelee Sobieski) whom gets quite obsessed about the 'wellfare' of the children and the mysteries surrounding the previous governess. Truth be told, her frequent nightmares don't seem to help matters. This overtly sexualized rendition of 'Turn of the Screw" ranks among the bottom amongst all the numerous adaptations of the story, yet it has two things going for it and both lay underneath Miss Sobieski's magnificent bathrobe, who needs acting talent? (That was rhetorical by the way)My Grade: D

I have to say probably the worst film i have watched in years. The story was viable but the editing,production and watch ability were nothing short of Diabolical. I was really shocked by the quality of actors like Tara Fitzgerald would even consider being in this failed experiment of a movie but times are hard i suppose. If anyone has considered watching this please don't waist 90 minutes of your life because you will never get them back. Overall a disaster of a movie which if made correctly and the right editing could have been enjoyable,but this was nothing more than a washout. I advise not to waste your time.

This is one of the top 10 worst films off all time. If you value your time, don't bother with this movie. If you have lots of free time, still don't bother with this movie. I sure wish I could get 90 minutes of my life back.The movie was a train wreck. Slower than molasses, but worse yet the story line is all over the map. Not to mention it just plain doesn't make any sense.Trust me when I say... spend 90 minutes doing dishes or cleaning the house instead. At least there will be something to show for it in the end.
