The Dark Is Rising


 

The first film adaptation of Susan Cooper's acclaimed "The Dark Is Rising Sequence" tells the story of Will Stanton, a boy whose everyday life is turned upside down when he learns that he is the last of the "Old Ones," a group of immortal warriors who have dedicated their lives to fighting the forces of the Dark. As he uncovers a series of mysterious clues, some dating back to the founding of Britain and others going all the way back to biblical times, Will discovers that with the 'Dark' once again rising, the future of the world rests in his hands.

1.5 out of 10 Oh dear

The best I can say about this film is that there was lots of snow. It was Badly acted, badly scripted and impossible to care about what was happening to who. I was very disappointed. So many excellent actors wasted. It made me want the bad guy win. At least Chris Eccleston hasn't got far since leaving Dr Who. That'll teach him to betray us Whovians, sorry, drifted off there, which is what I felt like doing during this film.

3 out of 10 Great actors, crappy story and scenery.

A wonderful cast do their best to save this low budget film from oblivion, but the poor story - plagiarism of several other fantasy stories - and the awful "English" village as designed by Americans and built in Eastern Europe send it to it's doom........

This is a typical Saturday Matinee film for the kids, if your older than 15 then forget it. If your 15 or younger you will enjoy it - i should have know better myself.
