From Darkness

From Darkness could have been worthwhile but as it stands, its just mediocre. Perhaps its biggest shortcoming is its lack of true direction. Its story moves its focus in a way that robs it of tension and a clearly articulated, meaning. What remains isn't terribly engaging or even all that frightening. Its a shame too, as the core premise has real scare potential. Moreover, its production values are reasonable, as are the performances, from the cast. In summary, a horror film that could have been quite good had it had a simpler, more direct focus that built towards something worthwhile in terms of storytelling and associated scares. As it stands, From Darkness is not awful but its hardly memorable, either.
