Was this review helpful? Das Urteil von Horrormagazin.de: "Zwar nicht wirklich gefährlich, aber dennoch gut gemachter Thriller für Zwischendurch." Unlike Gone Girl (which I liked a lot), this movie does not have a major plot twist in the middle.
And instead of flashy, campy directing by David Fincher, Paquet- Brenner opts for social realism and... dark. Was this review helpful?
You do indeed find them in this earnest and thoughtful movie.

While I won't go so far as to say that "Dark Places" is quite as good as that one, there must have been something going on behind the scenes in the production that really hampered its marketing. It's been a while since I've seen such a good old-fashioned whodunit on the big screen; the genre seems to be somewhat of a forgotten art in modern cinema.

I could understand it as a b-list thriller, but how did they get this cast?
Nothing makes sense, the characters are poor and it is an absolute abomination. Lies die 675 Kritiken Was this review helpful?

After the initial 30 minutes, the movie starts picking up its pace which was maintained till the end.The screenplay and direction were near perfect. How did it make more sense for the woman to invite a murderer in her home where her children slept to kill her as opposed to selling the farm and moving to her (inviting) sister until she gets a job that isn't a total loss. Veröffentlicht am 5. Libby Day (Charlize Theron) wurde als Kind Zeugin eines unvorstellbaren Verbrechens, das sie nie wieder loslässt: Vor 30 Jahren musste sie die brutale Hinrichtung ihrer Familie miterleben, ihre Mutter Patty (Christina Hendricks) und ihre beiden Schwestern wurden umgebracht. Recommended for fans of the genre. Which is a good thing, because it keeps the focus on the plot which is thick, and moves at breakneck speed. Certainly worth a watch if you are in for a bit of detective work. Was this review helpful? Dezember 2015 Dark Places (like a lot of movies, I guess) won't be everyone's cup of tea as it's a pretty slow-paced Thriller that concentrates on a decent cast delivering a good story. Based on the Gillian Flynn book of the same name.
A fifteen-year-old boy accused of pedophilia and Satan worship who gets his girlfriend pregnant and is then accused of murdering his mother and two sisters by his third sister - how much darker can you get without it seeming too contrived? The narrative moves very smoothly and methodically between the present and the past, helped by a solid cast, well-selected in terms of the younger and the older actors who are called upon to play the same character (especially in the case of Chloë Grace Moretz and Andrea Roth). What do you expect from a story with a title like that? Was this review helpful? It is heart braking as well as full of hope even is the latter is harder to find at times. Von

Either this is because it was done poorly by the director or the book isn't very good either. It's good, even very good.
And that's what I like about those kind of movies. Nun gibt auch die literarische Vorlage jetzt nicht so viel her, wie beispielsweise "Gone Girl", das ist soweit klar: trotzdem finde ich, hier wäre mehr möglich gewesen. Had i not read the book, this is possibly one of the 10 worst films I have ever seen. Was this review helpful?
It kept me wondering who-done-it until the end, and the solution is clever and unpredictable (let's just say there is a thin line between innocence and guilt in this movie). Was this review helpful? Von
