I've seen a lot of movies...good and bad, and from all over the world... but this must be one of the worst movies ever.. Top of my worsts movies is the unbelievable bad Reno 911..but River of Darkness is not so far away, believe me. In a small town down south,there's a sheriff,one of those wrestling guys who have anything better to do than bluff, scream to each other, hit with chairs,and pretend they hurt each other. OK, so this sheriff in a small peaceful town got a killer,he roams around with his truck asking questions to people but anyone seems to really give him an answer.The town must have 15 people because he keeps returning to the same places and asking the same people for help. One of the things that made me laugh was his stare after he saw the dead hanging from the boat, he just stare at nothing like he was actually thinking...LOL. Anyway, his brilliant deputy is so smart or he must have all figure it out by now that he reads magazines and answer the phone. Doesn't matter if it is a troubled woman with her daughter missing or a guy who claims he saw a guy in a burlap sack, he just take his time to react. The sheriff is an unbeliever, so to understand what is going on he thinks the best way is to hear an old lady praying and mumbling apocalyptic words all the time.. Turns out about 30 years ago a group lead by a vigilante name Hix killed an old man and his 3 slow thinking sons because a girl accused one of them of raping. When the "evil spirits" shows up they look like if they felt in mud,reminds me of Schwazzenegger in Predator when he puts mud on his face to cover from the alien heat scanner. The folks in town are mad because they think his sheriff cant and wont do anything about the murders, so they take matters into own hands once more and sends the lead vigilante Hix to the death tied up on a boat in the river. And there you go,simple as they came only God knows why ( anyone in the movie seems to know why they showed up 30 years after )they go away.. So, if you want to waste 1 hour and 24 minutes of your life just go and stare at the water in the toilet..for real
