I enjoyed this movie despite two problems:
First, the damned synopsis tells far too much and ruins a nice surprise.
Secondly, I was dissatisfied with the ending. . . you'll see why.
But the acting, and the general story was excellent. I especially appreciated the arc of the Sherilyn Fenn character, and totally believed it! This is rare, as often it is forced. But the circumstances of this story called for it.
Also, Ray Winstone shows his range here (see Sexy Beast for the other end of the spectrum).
Darkness Falls could just as well have been stage play, and a good one at that.
Give it a shot.
