Watch I Will Follow You Into the Dark For Free

An Exercise In Nonsense

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It's one thing to judge this just by the message it is transporting or by the way the movie realized that same idea. I think the idea behind the movie is really good. And while this is one of the better efforts the former OC girl is involved with, this still lacks a lot of things great horror movies have.Mischa Barton and the other actors in this look good, the framing and shooting of the movie does not need to enhance anything there. Some scenes could do with some enhancing in the acting area though. The dialog could be a bit better too. If you can overlook all those things, you may be able to see this in a better light than it actually represents though ...

In the last moments of this movie i was thinking: "the only thing that could save this film is if it was a troll, a huge joke..."but it wasn't. Someone seriously thought that this would sell. I don't know if the budget for this film was spent on Barton (the Only recognizable name on the credits) or if this was a troll, and the "Gotch-a" is at the end of the credits and i left too early. either way, whether or not the movie was a joke- it was bad... ...now, One could rant on and on about what was wrong with this movie, but i'll summarize; -It was too dark, you could not see anything but a beam of light coming from a flashlight 30% of the movie. -the acting was horrible. acting is easier said than done, i realize that, but if you aren't good at acting, then why are you in the film? and such... save some money, skip this film, see The Fog....or better yet. save some sanity...don't see either...

I usually try to avoid movies where the writer and director are the same person. There's a reason for this - and this film is a prime example. You NEED that second opinion - there are long, boring scenes that no competent director would have left intact. The basic story could have been done better, but there was so little development other than artsy montages. The production values were actually pretty good, but the story was weak and the plot incoherent. I think the scenes were not chronological - but it was not obvious if they were flashbacks, dreams, or what. The acting wasn't bad either, but without character development I just didn't care about these people.

I Will Follow You Into the Dark is a remarkable film that I was pleasantly surprised seeing after reading some of the most hateful comments by dried out frustrated and possibly overworked (why all their acrimony? Did Director Mark Edwin Robinson hit a nerve?) Critics. The film starts in a place where most of us have been or will be at sometime in our lives- at the side of a dying loved one. Sophia Monet (Mischa Barton) has had all she has ever loved taken away and is in a situation many can relate to- being afraid to love and lose again.We feel the depth of her soul, wanting to hole up and keep isolated so she can never be hurt again. But as fate would have it she finds the perfect man in Adam played by Ryan Eggold (Blacklist NBC, 90210.) We follow their growing relationship despite Sophia's self-protecting best judgment.The film is shot in colors and tones that take us visually and musically into a spirit world that is as unknown to us as it is chilling! It's a ride you won't forget and a movie you won't stop talking about.
