thegolgothashow ...the reason being that it was made at all. If your a wrestling fan looking for the novelty of seeing Kurt Angle, Sid Vicious and Kevin Nash outside of the ring then please realise....its not worth it. Nash and Sid are unrecognisable and rarely out of the darkness and Kurts acting is so appalling you will turn away and cringe so you wont see him much either.In fact if you doubt that fact check out the other movies starring Kurt. He's an unbelievable athelete and in my opinion the greatest all rounder in the history of wrestling but outside the the ring he falls apart and cannot be taken seriously.The acting is beyond awful, the special effects are preschool and the storyline is recycled. There is nothing good to say about this film and I hope all involved are ashamed of themselves.

fedesi I've seen a lot of movies...good and bad, and from all over the world... but this must be one of the worst movies ever.. Top of my worsts movies is the unbelievable bad Reno 911..but River of Darkness is not so far away, believe me. In a small town down south,there's a sheriff,one of those wrestling guys who have anything better to do than bluff, scream to each other, hit with chairs,and pretend they hurt each other. OK, so this sheriff in a small peaceful town got a killer,he roams around with his truck asking questions to people but anyone seems to really give him an answer.The town must have 15 people because he keeps returning to the same places and asking the same people for help. One of the things that made me laugh was his stare after he saw the dead hanging from the boat, he just stare at nothing like he was actually thinking...LOL. Anyway, his brilliant deputy is so smart or he must have all figure it out by now that he reads magazines and answer the phone. Doesn't matter if it is a troubled woman with her daughter missing or a guy who claims he saw a guy in a burlap sack, he just take his time to react. The sheriff is an unbeliever, so to understand what is going on he thinks the best way is to hear an old lady praying and mumbling apocalyptic words all the time.. Turns out about 30 years ago a group lead by a vigilante name Hix killed an old man and his 3 slow thinking sons because a girl accused one of them of raping. When the "evil spirits" shows up they look like if they felt in mud,reminds me of Schwazzenegger in Predator when he puts mud on his face to cover from the alien heat scanner. The folks in town are mad because they think his sheriff cant and wont do anything about the murders, so they take matters into own hands once more and sends the lead vigilante Hix to the death tied up on a boat in the river. And there you go,simple as they came only God knows why ( anyone in the movie seems to know why they showed up 30 years after )they go away.. So, if you want to waste 1 hour and 24 minutes of your life just go and stare at the water in the toilet..for real

retro-37 The movie itself is pretty well filmed, and particularly the night scenes, replete with back lit creepy scenarios and suitably applied wafts of mist, make for good viewing. The best moments do actually come when the Jacobs family appear out of the mist and set about their tirade of terror. Fans of wrestling will no doubt delight in seeing the icons Psycho Sid Vicious and Kevin Nash apply their might to taking out the trash on the big screen. There really is something quite enjoyably quirky visible in their eyes when they swing that axe. Go Big Daddy 'Kill' !. This one is really for fans of the wrestling stars on show, and die hard 'B' movie horror fanatics easily forgiving of such well intentioned trite. Former Olympic champion Kurt Angle might have greater success in attaining future gold chasing the end of a rainbow than pursuing a serious acting career, but if he can take himself less seriously in future roles it could be good times for all. Oh it's true, it's damn true !.

Betty White before me, there where 5 users who voted this an average of 7.5/10?!? What is the world coming to if anybody actually thought that this movie was watching? Were the crew voting for themselves perhaps? this movie was such a waste of time and in the end I couldn't even make it to the finish before turning it off. Kurt Angle obviously has serious skill as a wrestler but as an actor he is seriously lacking. unfortunately, he was not even the worse thing about this *cough* "film" *cough* the script/dialog is just pitiful. There is one line from an actor where she says that the bad guys eyes were RED, yet when they show close-ups of Kevin Nash's character his eyes are yellow/orange... the story, pathetic. The casting is a joke - i've seen better acting with more personality from a 1st grade school play. Kurt Angle as the lead was stiffer then a plank of wood yet when he is doing his wrestling promos, he comes across with so much passion and personality. Then the 'special effects' / makeup department... oh my god... in todays age this should just not be allowed. Anybody involved in this abysmal attempt at cinema should be embarrassed enough to crawl under a rock and never come out again. I cannot remember attempting to watch any other film which was this bad, especially considering this site shows they had a budget of $3.26 million, where you look at a movie like Paranormal Activity made in 2007 for an estimated $15K that turned out to be a fantastic movie. Please I implore anybody, do not waste time on this garbage
