no love for Darkness Falls?

Darkness Falls appears to be one of the most despised modern horror films. Personally, I liked it and never could understand why it is hated so much. Yes, it is PG-13 and not designed to be gory. But I've always like this one. Why the hate?

I've only watched it once, not very long after it came out. Really dont remember alot of it, but I dont think it was as bad as people say.

i thought it was ok ..

the theme i like is in a couple of other recent films as well .. (most noteably nightmare on elm street) - the dont go to sleep - or the stay in the light ...

i guess i get interested in how the characters deal with it ..

If nothing else it was a shitload better than the abysmal "Fear of the Dark"

The storybook/tale by the fireside way it opened I thought was really well done. Most horror movies dream about having such a classy start.

What I hated most about this movie is how it managed to have an absolutely brilliant and classic start, and then proceed with 80 minutes of boring and predictable stuff.

You just can't start that good and then throw it all away...
