Watch Dark Places For Free

Just what I expected

Better Late Then Never

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The sideline was good, but it moved very slow. I restarted this move 6 times before I could finish it. (I'm a little obsessive about movies and books. If I start it, I have to see ot through.) This movie is not for everyone. But overall it didn't suck.

Unbelievable, disjointed. Charlize disappointing. Lost interest after 30 mins. Flashbacks are so annoying!

I just read the book and decided to watch the movie, thinking that with this strong compelling story the film would be great. Wrong. It was so flat and boring it made me forget how good the story really was. I didn't have any problem with the casting (especially with young Ben Day, I think he was really good) but the whole tone of the film was stiff and had me saying "whatever...". The music wasn't good, the characters were so one dimensional and what really bugged me was the flashback scenes and the fact that there was no other suspects. In the book you keep changing your mind about who's the killer every chapter but in the movie it's pretty clear from the start. The flashbacks did not portray what was really going on, so when we slowly uncover the truth we do not really care... Even the scene of the murders were plain and boring. I don't understand how could someone take this story and turn it into this. So disappointed. I know that in order to make a movie you have to cut a lot of things out of a book, but it feels like it lost its great character, their emotions and the mood. Finally I forgot to mention that the casting for today's Ben Day character was so wrong.

While the book was at least okay, the film is simply uninspired and doesn't explore the material in a way that the more or less complex story seems coherent and interesting. The psychological abysses of the characters are ignored in the script, Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult, being the talented actors they are, definitely had the potential to save the weak story adaption, but I was surprised to see their acting halfhearted and wooden.
