Darkness Falls is a film whose production is more interesting than the final project. The whole movie was being rewritten and reshot while it was being made. They even changed the title and the whole look of the monster super late which lead to funny situation with McFarlane toys. Despite all of this some people consider it a modern cult classic. People like johanna and Kira.
Darkness Falls is a 2003 supernatural horror film written by Joe Harris and John Fasano, and directed by Jonathan Liebesman. The film stars Chaney Kley and Emma Caulfield. The film follows Kyle Walsh, who witnesses his mother's murder at the hands of a vengeful spirit lynched by an angry mob more than 150 years ago.

U should do They from 2002 next
Last September that night I Watched the Full-Screen Version of Darkness Falls on DVD with My Grandmother and two of my sisters in the Living Room
The number of times Tony watched Darkness Falls in a 24 hour period proves why he deserves his fame and importance.
I remember on the DVD: “it’s runs rings around the ring.” Lol the beginning was very intense and horrifying and the rest of the movie it becomes an action movie.
I was trying to be good and then you all spoke about pepperoni; I grabbed the stick from the fridge...
Thank you for covering this. I watched it in the theatres in Glasgow Scotland, back in 2003, when I was 17. It was a midnight showing and I was in a mostly empty theatre and it absolutely terrified me.
On the walk home (all buses had stopped for the night) I was consciously staying in the most lit parts of the street and when I got home, I kept the light on my room and waited for sunrise before being able to sleep. It's silly to think about it, but it genuinely scared me like no other film ever has, not even as a 9 year old watching films like RoboCop, Psycho, Silence of the Lambs etc
Hmm 🤔 this tooth fairy movie or the Dwayne Johnson tooth fairy movie, which is more horrifying? This is the 2 Jack Frost movies all over again.
Dwayne Johnson's tooth fairy definitely more horrifying. I have to forget it exists in order to avoid the trauma.
I remember this being about an evil tooth fairy, let’s see if my memory served me right
I just watched this movie recently, and I was pretty convinced that I could’ve come up with a better script than the final product.
This came out when I was in middle school and it freaked us all out. Haha. It's better than it gets credit for
I remember thinking it was OK when I originally watched it. Problem with "ok" horror movies, and horror movies in general, is that they're often judged more subjectively than other genres. That says a ton since all movies in the entire movie industry are judged with a heavy dose of subjectivity.
The theater I was in thought it sucked, but theater crowds get it wrong. A lot. I think I'm gonna rewatch it.
@@dishonoredundead what a strange comment. This movie was ass
I thought it was ok too. A little better than worse concerning horror
All thanks goes to Stan Winston Studios for designing the Tooth Fairy.
Her design was cool but the movie was just ok not bad not good but ok
it was bad
Nice to see Kira again
I live an hour away from the town (port fairy) that this is based on in Australia, crazy to learn that after all these years.
And that stan winston video of the matilda puppet moving around is awesome...actually looks real. Bloody fantastic episode mate, love your work!
This is a Kira episode AND is one of my lowkey favourite "modern" horror movies? Thank you Uncle Tony for blessing us with this, we are humbled and grateful
Thanks for staying tuned in ❤️
@@Kira-bo2lq hey, thanks for keeping us entertained and informed 🙂
When this movie came out, my buddy and I rented it. We went to watch it at his house and about an hour in, the power went out. Good times.😂 We were like 11 or 12
Tony's radio host voice is like ASMR
I always confuse this flick with The Tooth Fairy. Another one with a troubled production.
It's nice the Johanna has been back recently I like her and Tony's fake rivalry I find it amusing
Cop: "What's with all the fleshlights (what I heard)," camera cuts to Kyle Walsh with really messed up hair.
I remember watching this throughout my childhood, my parents thought it was terrifying but I never found it to be scary at all
To keep the trend of light based horror, maybe Lights Out in the future?
Always a fun tale of the CZcams short turned feature film :)
Another situation where the short was a LOT better than the film! IMO lol
@@Kira-bo2lq i remember it being kind of ok. Even scary at times. Now that i think about it, it wasn't that great...still better than a lot of horrors i've seen
I'll take an ep about a movie I've never heard of with Johanna and Kira(with Tony lol).
✌🏽🤘🏼
I didnt care much for it when it came out but ill tell you what, I still remember this flick VIVIDLY as an adult. Something to be said about a movie that sticks with you that way. For context, I just watched the movie BARBARIAN last night because im a big WKUK fan. Yeah, talk about a STUPID, FUCKING, MOVIE. The first 20 minutes are solid but then it goes full stupid and relies on nothing but jump scares and some mildly gross moments. I will only remember that film to tell people NOT to watch it. It had potential and then just flushed it all away for cheap scares and what might be the most unintentionally funny ending of all time.
Kira is way too fine sometimes.
I actually think the design for the tooth fairy they ended up choosing was better. Great review 👍
It made more sense for what the movie turned out to be. The previous version would have only worked for the original idea where the monster didn't show up till the end.
@@HackTheMovies you know when you mention that, it reminded me of the boogeyman movie. That one was originally supposed to be a psychological horror film and at the end of it the main character was supposed to find out his suppressed memories. Then the studio flipped out and insisted they put a CGI monster in the last 5 minutes of the film. My opinion is, had they gone ahead with the original script, it would have been every bit as forgettable as the boogeyman
Johanna and Kira; you already know this is going to be a great episode.
I’m surprised that this movie didn’t get more straight to video movies it fells like it would’ve
That’s what we were wondering afterwards. Kind of surprised they didn’t make a straight to video series of sequels but they had SO much trouble with this one maybe they couldn’t be bothered
This is one of those movies where I personally feel like the backstory would make a potentially more interesting movie. Like I can just picture the ending of the two children walking back into the town and seeing everyone's face, shocked and in horror, after realizing that they accused and murdered this poor woman for a crime that she didn't even commit.
The beginning sequence is the thing that still sticks with me til this day. Reminds me of the beginning scenes for Komodo and Boogeyman with all the traumatic parent deaths.
That slavery line made me lose my shit lol
Good review guys, Nice to see Kira Back.
LOL I thought this said “Kira Black” I was like I’m always black 😂
❤️❤️❤️
@@Kira-bo2lq lol
Tony is one of my all time favorite humans.
I loved this movie when it came out. Watched it so many times. I remember the tooth fairy being terrifying, especially in the opening scene with your Kyle. After watching your review I'm really bummed we didn't get that other version with that original design. Great episode!
I loved the premise of this movie. I've often thought of it when in TOTAL darkness.
Another great episode as usual. Jess you are killing it!
Talk about THE CRAFT, and MORE JESSICA!
I just giggle 🤭 at it and take it as a comedy 😊💜🐾
I liked it. It was before everything had to be so violent.
This video was really fun to watch. This team needs to be common
this movie legit freaked me out
Havnt seen this movie since it came out, nice review and reminder! :D
Missed Johanna and Kira! Great episode!
This is really pushing the limits of "if I saw it as a kid it has value" and that's coming from a guy who hallucinated this monster. Most people would say "saw a ghost that looked like..." But no. I hallucinated it.
For SURE
@@Kira-bo2lqhi Kira you're a good co host. if you picked it it's ok, Tony's the one who's wrong still.
So I remember this film vividly, cause when I watched it I was 12 years old, my grandmother (who is like a mom to me,) had a heart attack and I was staying at my cousins house and this film fucked me up for that night that I couldn't sleep.
This is one of those recent horror films that I would not mind getting a remake.
i liked when i got numbed up and the dentist cut my wisdom teeth out. not joking. that feeling without pain felt as good as an itch being scratched that was out of my reach.
I own this DVD.
I appreciate this movie for what it is. Kind of a product of it's time. Lacking in story, but it is fine to leave enough to imagination.
Everything about this movie is. fine.. satisfying.. You get a Killswitch engage song? I loved them at the time, and this was right in that era where metal bands released a track with horror movies.
Not something that would be exciting or great to new viewers now. But I'd consider it a cult classic. Those who like it I am sure like it enough.
It has a decent tone! Scary enough. It's fine.
Great vid team. Thanks!
Oh, here is a suggested movie. The number 13 with Jim Carrey. Actually an interesting movie!
Zombie Nightmare is free on Tubi, possible Tubi Tuesday material?
I remember this being a lot scarier than it actually is, too. Probably because it was the first horror movie I got to see by myself at the theater
Nah this one actually just stinks. Recently re-watched it like last October and I’m pretty open to reevaluating plenty of horror films positively but not this one. I’m curious to hear out your defenses though, maybe you’ll change my mind.
Can Johanna & Kira just have their own show called “Monster Fukcers”
Jessica has the most unusual facial structure; it’s fascinating. Not to get all Hannibal Lecter but I bet her skull is fascinating.
...dude
@@HackTheMovies XD
Darkness falls and dead silence fucked me up for a while as a kid lol
I am noticing a theme with the cult classics that I haven't seen they are mostly horror films it's probably because I don't watch a lot of them for some reason I have no problem with but I have noticing that about myself I should work on that
I tried to watch it twice and fell asleep both times. Don't really want to give it a third shot.
I watched this movie on an ipod while travelling across a ferry to the Netherlands in my early 20s. Ive only seen it once but I have reccomended it. A hidden gem imo
Man I was 10 when I seen darkness falls and it scared the shit out of me to where I couldn't go in the dark for a week or 2
Weeee! Kira episode!
Typo in the birthdate 1914. That's 1912, surviving the sinking of that boat . Kudos to mommy .
1:03:00 Kira & Johanna innocently just turned Matilda into a groomer of Kyle!🤷🏻♂️
Great video. I seen Darkness Falls in theaters with my Mom. I was 15 and it freaked me out..lol Did anyone notice that Michael's accent comes and goes. Lol but he was a kid so i guess he gets a pass. I wouldn't have mind seeing a sequel to Darkness Falls.
It is in my top 30 in horror, as a 50+ years old movie lover. :^)
This was a decent horror movie. Still scarier than the movie that was actually called "The Tooth Fairy."
I had the movie maniacs toy! I thought the movie was fine, it could be better but over it had a cool idea and that’s what I liked about it the most. It could have been better though.
I think studio interfered with the director
I own this, I bought it used and when I saw it originally I remembered really liking it. Listening to this video, I think I might have to rewatch it and see if it still holds up in my head because I think you guys might be right, what I saw and what I remember are two different things
1:04:03 Kyle Walsh: I SEE YOU BITCH!
The director also helmed BATTLE:LOS ANGELES.
Don't worry Tony I watch all hack the movies episodes
Had a Mandela effect misremembering the kid being dragged away killed under the bed, or the kid’s father being dragged away killed, turns out to have been the openings of the two films They 2002 and Boogey Man 2005, not particularly good but they’re similar to the beginning of Darkness Falls.
Tony, if that's true. Get a CPAP machine.
Would love to see a review of "The Descent" from 2005! 🔥👍
I realized 5 minutes in I thought this was a review of 30 Days of Night
To answer your question yes there is in fact a Hell Michigan.
Don't forget Sam climbing through Clarissas window with a ladder... And they were just friends
Tony is a gangsta
Thr only thing memorable about this to me was that the ghost looked like a TIE Fighter when it exploded.
Johnathan Lieberman apologist. I've never heard a single positive review of any of his movies (especially from friends) and now this and the acceptance of Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Beginning.
Tony’s terrible taste continues to shine through
LOOK OUT BELOW was the only take away from this film.
1:09
kino
Sounds like another awesome concept that was ruined by rewrites and studio meddling.
Watch Goodbadflicks on Stay Alive
Tony please review Regin of Fire!!!
Yay Kira is back. And no Tony she is not attracted to the Christopher Walken Headless Horseman. She's attracted to the sleek, muscle bound ripped Anubis dog soldiers from The Mummy Returns. 🤫
THANK YOU WOLF 😭😂❤️
@@Kira-bo2lq Np. 👌👍
This movie made me afraid of the dark before I even saw it.
The movie I could have sworn stared Josh Hartnett.
Saw it at the drive in.
closure - look out below was the song to that was never in soundtrack
Is crystal gone? Haven't seen her in a while.
Holy fuck I remember always watching this as a kid haha!
Oh no... Do they interrupt Tony every five seconds?
I recently learned from the good brahs over at OSW that the c word is now considered a hate term on youtube. So can of coke to you for censoring it Tony!
“Beatboxing in the back of your room”😃😃😃😃😃
wait.....a man wants to hit a kid because they said a bad word.......but the kid is the evil one in that man's eyes.
Great episode
Kira is so beautiful 😍
I have watched darkness falls like 40 times, it certainly has rewatch value, or i'm just boring :P
Also Johanna they announced that the new haunted mansion movie is happening maybe actually do one of the eddie Murphy one sux but I think it's a cult classic now
Everybody just watch the Mortal Kombat episode again. Also, review Go.
Twerking She-Hulk, huh. We’re off to a good start.
Speaking of Jeepers Creepers, with a the new one being released any chances for a video of the original?
Who want to see Kira vs The Headless Horseman?
It would turn into a Pepe Le Pew episode with me chasing him the entire time.
@@Kira-bo2lq Good Luck Kira
zavvi is very common in the uk shops, it replaced hmv
I saw this movie in the theater without knowing anything about it. It was fun. Not great but it was a good time
