Looking to view something other than the last minute oscar film throw out on christmas day this year? Well your in luck because Dimension/Miramax are releasing (supposedly - we know how often Miramax changes release dates) spanish shot, english spoke “Darkness” on christmas day. 

I didn’t hear about this movie until I just watched the trailer, so after careful, scienctific research (ie, called my mom), she told me this is quite a creppy flick that’s been sitting on the shelves for some time now.  In 1964, 6 children vanish from a house never to be seen again, leaving the house empty until 40 years later when a new family moves into the house and they begin to experience why it’s been empty for 40 years.  Really? Who have thought?

The film stars Anna Paquin, Fele Martinez (who was great in the upcoming “Bad Education”), Lena Olin and a group of “hey, I’ve een you before in….” spanish actors.  The trailer does seem promising - though, can anyone pick up the total rip off shot of “The Shinning” in it other than me?  The bad thing is I heard it was re-edited so as not to get the MPAA “R” rating and go for the more family oriented, christmas heart warming “PG-13”.  I’m sure after christmas day though, every parent will be wishing someone will come and steal their children away. 

Anyone else know anything more than me about this one?  Let us know.  Please, I have children to feed (well, if they don’t vanish that is).

Seriously, I don’t have kids.  I’m enough of one for everyone around me. Jerks! Just watch the trailer here ok!

    I check this web since two or three months, and
    now i decide to take some action lol wink

    Hello, i’m from spain… i see this movie, the past year, directed by Jaume Balagueró, and I
    have to say that for me the movie is a bad one…
    some good moments, but very tipical terror movie,
    the actors look like stones, very bad
    interpretation, the movie is quite well produced,
    but i think Balagueró can give much more.
    Look for ‘Los Sin Nombre’ this movie is good!
    (i don’t know if it’s distributted in USA)

    cool page!

    Looks cool to me.  Great visuals in that trailer.

    thanks for the heads up D-T.  I’ll see if I can pick up Los Sin Nombre somewhere in this fine great white north we live in.  Keep dropping by and letting us now whats happening with the spanish film industry that we may not be in “the know” about - it’s a great film scene there.
