Darkplace
Story about a father who locks his 10 year old boy in a "shadowbox." An ancient box meant to spiritually cleanse your evil sins Or something like that
... This movie is almost unwatchable really, just an terribly incoherent plot with some really bad acting. I almost turned it off after the first 30 minutes, but I gave it a chance, hoping it would get better, but it just never did. The director tried cramming every shitty director "gimmick" for lack of a better term he's ever seen from other movies into this one. When you rely so heavily on flashbacks/cutscenes to tell your story, it's usually a bad sign. For a supposed horror movie, there wasn't really anything scary about it, hardly any deaths/killings, just a bunch of dull dialogs and semi-creepy images. The only redeeming quality from this movie is it that it features Matthew McGrory (big guy from devil's rejects/house of 1000 corpses)in his last film before he died. Also the ending had an interesting little twist, but by then I didn't care, I just wanted it to be over already. Avoid this pile at all cost.
