A Good Bedtime Horror Story
Chris Kavan - wrote on 05/11/2013
I like horror movies that are based on something you could easily encounter in real life - even when they push things to the extreme. In the case of Dark Circles, the horror comes from something most people can relate to: a new child. And the lack of sleep brought on by a backwards sleep cycle.
In this case, a couple with a new baby move to a country home and between the baby crying all night and nearby construction hammering away during the day - sleep is a rare commodity. Whoever worked on the makeup here deserves a medal because they did an excellent job of making the two look really, really tired (either that, or the actors just stayed awake for a few day straight).
Of course, lack of sleep leads to strange things - like seeing a mysterious woman and finding a half-burnt doll …
