Picture the scene. The remains of a particularly spicy fajita meal on the table, a cold beer, and an unwillingness to change channels. OK, apart from the fajitas, this is pretty much every evening for me. Last night, however, was different. I had seen the trailers on the telly for the past week, and have to admit that I was intrigued by The Island (2005).
And so, the legacy of Ringu (1998) lives on…will horror directors never tire, do you think, of creepy little dead girls with long dark hair? Not if John Fawcett’s The Dark (2005) is anything to go by. Sure, it has a good cast and, judging by Fawcett’s previous horror effort, Ginger Snaps (2000) a promising director, but there is little here that rises above straight-to-DVD shocks.
