10 Movies That Will Definitely Win Razzie Awards In 2017
10. The Darkness
Not to be confused with the band of the same name, The Darkness (originally 6 Miranda Drive) stars Kevin Bacon and Radha Mitchell as a couple who return home from a Grand Canyon vacation to find their lives invaded by a supernatural presence.
You wouldn’t expect Greg McLean, who also made Wolf Creek, to take the reins on a PG-13 horror movie and sure enough, the critics wondered if he was phoning this one in. One critic called the movie “pretty much a total bust – it isn’t scary, it isn’t exciting and it plods along at such a snail’s pace that even though it clocks in at just over 90 minutes, it plays like it runs at least twice that.”
The cast are good, McLean does what he can with the material (it’s his first film that he didn’t write) but the results are thin and predictable at best. When will Blumhouse abandon the supernatural in favour of a story with bite?
