However, this is not the case with “Darkness Falls,” as the once beloved Tooth Fairy is turned evil in a movie that is just plain awful. So what’s next? A movie exposing the Easter Bunny as the greatest bank robber in the world? If movies like this were made better, the fact that they smear the reputation of children’s fairytales could be overlooked. And supposedly, the Tooth Fairy seeks to exact her revenge on the children of Darkness Falls (the title comes not from the impending doom of the dark, but from the town in which the Tooth Fairy lived and has sworn vengeance), but even grown up Kyle, who has moved to Las Vegas, still feels the need to carry an array of flashlights wherever he ventures.
Supposedly, staying in the light equates staying out of harm, but the amount of light that will stop the Tooth Fairy in her murdering tracks wavers uncontrollably and annoyingly. Supposedly, the Tooth Fairy only attacks those who have looked at her, yet throughout the movie, quite a few of her victims are attacked completely by surprise. The villain is even less consistent than the bad acting and dialogue. Kyle’s thought process obviously doesn’t contend with that of Michael’s as he only incessantly repeats, “Stay out of the dark! Stay in the light!” The acting is just as poor as the dialogue, which might be expected from actors whose biggest credits include “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Legally Blonde.” The only person in the movie with any sense is Michael (Lee Cormie), who, during his first conversation with Kyle, sounds incredibly provocative for his age. Compared to the two other main figures in modern American mythology, the. The Tooth Fairy is younger than you might expect. Caitlin (played as an adult by Emma Caufield) must convince Kyle to help her younger sibling before Michael is considered insane, since he and Kyle are apparently the only two people who have seen the Tooth Fairy and survived.Ī string of inanely predictable deaths ensue accompanied by some horror movie “don’ts” whose stupidity rivals that of horror spoofs. Here are 13 bite-sized facts about our favorite dainty dental dealer. Oddly enough, Caitlin’s younger brother, Michael, is now being terrorized by the Tooth Fairy as he has just lost his last tooth. The escape is only physical as, 12 years later, Kyle (Chaney Kley) is still haunted by this memory. His efforts prove fruitless as the Tooth Fairy attacks him, and, unlike his mother, he is lucky enough to escape. After a brief visit from his childhood crush, Caitlin, he tries to fall asleep. Thus ends the potential and begins the 70-plus minutes of predictability and senselessness.Įnter Kyle Walsh, a 10-year-old who has just lost his last tooth. She places a curse on the town before being hung, promising to exact her revenge on any child that loses a tooth. This love is abandoned when two children turn up missing, and the Tooth Fairy is blamed. One hundred and fifty years ago lived a nice, old lady who would give children a gold coin when they lost a tooth, appropriately dubbed the “Tooth Fairy” and loved by all. The potential for something different and exciting comes in the opening minutes with a story that challenges our preconceived notions of the Tooth Fairy. However, it should be pointed out that the entire movie is not worthless.
