Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Maybe if I saw the first movie or TV show first I would have liked this movie more but I really don't think so. It didn't seem like there was much going on that would have been helped by other details or back story. The writing and acting are particularly awful in this. The lead guy stinks, the lead girl is not a great actor but at least is very easy to look at (and not an awful actor just not great with stage combat which I'm guessing is much the fault of the producers and director), and the fat demon guy who is there obviously for comic relief is so over the top desperate to try to get a laugh he made me cringe every time he was on the screen. I hated this movie over all. But the other cast and lead female were OK and the effects actually were decent in my opinion for a lower budget movie. Take a pass though unless you have a couple hours you really want to waste on something annoying.

Dark Rising (2007) was a dumb but fun fantasy comedy with ridiculous monsters and lots of PG T&A. With an unknown cast and WWE wrestler Christian it exceeded my expectations even though it still wasn't all that great.I never expected a movie like that to get a sequel but here we are and it isn't half bad. Following on from the events of the previous film including most of the surviving cast we have more silly dumb fun but with a slightly higher calibre of comedy.The sfx are still poor and it's hardly a well made effort but it makes up for it where it matters.Shockingly Dark Rising didn't just spawn 2 movies but also 2 television series which I'm looking forward to diving into.If you enjoyed the first movie I recommend this, otherwise it may be a bit niche.The Good: Great comedy character The Bad: No Christian, I mean yes he did die in the first movie but still Aftereffects level sfx Brigitte Kingsley is an unconvincing action heroine Things I Learnt From This Movie: If a car is heading towards you, just stand there with a gormless look on your face Snipers are up When hooking up, undressing and preparing to do "Bad" things it's best to have your front door wide open Always be wary of half naked women in the woods

I really couldn't give this movie more then a 5. The writing is stilted, the characters two-dimensional (if that) and the lead actress's primary qualities are...well... her primary qualities. She looks fantastic standing still with her mouth shut. Unfortunately her acting is awful and her stage fighting looks like a 10 year old playing "batman."The makeup is amateurish, but the animation is okay and the CG frankly is surprisingly good, mostly demonstrating just how cheap and easy basic CG has become.Over all it plays like a film written by high-school students, acted by first year college students and a porn star, with sfx done by mildly talented upper class college students. Despite all that, or maybe because of it, it has a genuine charm and appeal on the pure camp level. Sort of like the 60s Batman TV show.If you enjoy camp, then go for it. But otherwise give it a wide miss.

This show raises many questions and the first question would be how on Earth do these people get to keep making these movies when they are this awful?The acting and writing are both garbage. I don't know where they are finding the actors for these movies but I can only assume they are putting an ad in the local Podunk, Ontario newspaper asking anyone with free time to just show up and bring whatever props and Halloween costumes they own.Same thing for the writing. Is there a script at all? Is there a script that was written as a joke on toilet paper while the writer was taking a huge dump. Was this movie produced as a joke or because someone lost a bet and had to? Is the fat comic relief guy supposed to be so annoying I want to punch my screen?How in the world did they get actual famous people to make appearances in this?The first movie was bad and this one is at least a million times worse. Please stop making these! How can they possibly be making any money?
