John Fawcett's The Dark Going DTV ...

Somebody out there must have a personal grudge with John Fawcett. It's the only thing that explains the fact that his latest film, The Dark, is going straight to video. I mean, come on ... all the advance buzz is good, it's got a director with a loyal cult following thanks to Ginger Snaps, it's got a great cast in Sean Bean and Maria Bello, and the footage is just gorgeous. With all the sub-par junk that makes it on to theater screens you'd think they'd find room for something like this, but no ...

I suppose the first clue that all was not well should have been that the trailer existed only in a dubbed German form. If they can't even bother to put out an English trailer and treat the film right, why would they bother to release it ... sigh ... DVD hits in April. [source: Arrow in the Head]
