Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

DubyaHan The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

ryanfrazier-23235 I created an account just to leave the 2 star rating this movie deserves. Not a thrilling moment, character to care about or coherent storyline to be found here. This may be the most disjointed story I've ever had the misfortune of seeing. Fifteen minutes in and I couldn't have cared less what actually happened to the family or who was responsible. The satanic ritual side story had NOTHING to do with the plot whatsoever and totally could have been left out. Charlize Theron, who's typically great, was obviously phoning in this performance. Please, do yourself a favor, watch something else. Anything else!

Cheese world Dark Places:Rating: shaky I got mixed feelings about this movie, though it is very intense. I liked the whole idea of the killer club (a group of people interested in crimes doing their own investigation), but felt as though they should've been involved more in the film.A major problem which absolutely didn't stick well with me in this film is when Lyle (member of killer club) who really isn't involved in the film, contacted Libby about information, it came out of nowhere. When, where and how, there is nothing to show the viewers how he got it.

anika-hoffmanns While the book was at least okay, the film is simply uninspired and doesn't explore the material in a way that the more or less complex story seems coherent and interesting. The psychological abysses of the characters are ignored in the script, Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult, being the talented actors they are, definitely had the potential to save the weak story adaption, but I was surprised to see their acting halfhearted and wooden.

emilywes56 Lets make clear that I am not aware of the book that this film was based on, so I am not gonna review the movie all about the book. I am not even sure if it is important if the movie was based on the book exactly the same in every detail. From my point of view, this movie has no flaw. Everything was sticking together very good. The plot was terrific, always on edge, characters and story very well put together, and if I could characterize this film with one word, this would be SUSPENSE. I stopped the movie some times to calm down, I was blown away from the rising tension and in the climax scenes always on the edge of my seat. This film blends together so many elements about the history of this era in Kansas city and in America in general, when development of satanic rituals among teenagers had shocked the news and society. Also, when criminal rates are high enough to let their footprint and create a bloodstained and "dark place" in the citizen's hearts. The unsolved mystery murders of this movie is a riddle that unfolds throughout the whole movie, with exquisite use of flashbacks, sound effects and irresolute but determining character development. For me this movie is undoubtedly 10/10. It is powerful, enigmatic and stunning in a way that will make you think of it some time. After all, this movie is important for one main reason. Its twist will never let you guess what happens, only when you finish the movie, you can finally find redemption through Libby's eyes when she visits for a last time her family home and gets free forever. This is a happy end, without fake drama. It is life itself and even if it had spoken lies in the end rises the truth.
