About this movie

Set in a farming town in Kansas, Dark Places follows Libby Day (Charlize Theron), the only surviving witness of a horrific massacre that took her mother and sisters. Believing the slaughter to be the work of a Satanic cult, Libby testifies in court against her own brother. 25 years after the murder, she remains haunted by the gruesome violence of her past when she meets a group of amateur investigators who call themselves "The Kill Club". Looking to satisfy their morbid curiosity, the group begins their own inquiry about the case, believing Libby's brother is innocent. In order to help them, Libby must unearth painful memories of the event and learn that her past may not be what it seems. ©2014 DAMSELFISH HOLDINGS, LLC ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Ratings and reviews

I like Charlize Theron but I just don't think this was the kind of film for her as a actress here character was not believable and she looked to healthy to have been through all she had been through in her childhood. I think someone like Christina Ricci would of played this part much better apart from that the film was not bad it was Abit slow but sometimes I like films like this and sometimes I don't depending on my mood anyway I gave it 2 stars because it could of been a really good film but the director ruined it. Sorry.

I read the book and really liked it so was very excited to watch the film. But im afraid it was a little dissapointing it went through the story too quickly and missed a lot of things out. Still worth a watch to try and solve the mystery though

Plot may have been interesting if it wasn't poorly executed. But still watchable as you try and guess what happened and whodunnit.
