Though it never lives up to the ghost story that serves as its prologue – about a vengeful spirit who attacks kids the night they lose their last baby tooth – Darkness Falls remains serviceably creepy throughout. The main story follows one of the ghost’s former victims – now a predictably disheveled adult – as he deals with a debilitating fear of the dark. I wish I could say the cheap lighting scheme was part of a thematic plan, but for B-level horror this isn’t bad.
