I think this may have been better at the cinema, to be honest. I tried to watch it the other night with my girlfriend and a couple of glasses of wine and ended up switching it off due to having no idea whatsoever what was going on. The problem is that it isn't abstract or artistic enough to be interesting despite being nonsense (such as a Lynch film like Inland Empire, for example), it simply just doesn't make sense and is therefore very boring.

I'm quite sure that in the captive environment of the cinema it would be easier to follow, and gut feel tells me that it is probably a great film if you're patient enough - but watching it at home on anything less than a personal cinema: don't bother unless you are prepared to watch it 2 or possibly even 3 times.

I'm not sure what's more disturbing; this terrible, terrible movie or the fact that people are actually rating it positively on this website.

What is going on? Is this the first film you people have seen, or are you on drugs? This film is 100% complete and utter GUFF! Oh Christ! What makes it all the more unforgivable is that both the trailer and the first 15 minutes of the film create the impression that this is actually going to be a good film - but then it simply slides and just gets worse and worse and worse. By half way through the film you just want to switch it off.

Whatever you do, don't watch this film. It's not even one of those bad films that you have to watch because they're SO bad its amazing (like The Postman) - its just plain RUBBISH.

The person who made this film should go back to whatever they were doing before.

Apart from the fact that this film is shockingly bad in every possible respect, what's with the whole 'True Story' thing?

I bought this film for my girlfriend as part of a box set called 'The Hollywood True Stories Box Set'. The DVD itself is titled "Fall Into Darkness: A True Story". I'm sorry but there is no way that this pile of rubbish is true. It also states on the back of the DVD box that it is based on a novel, even further contradicting the 'True Story' strap-line.

Anyway, even if it didn't claim to be a true story, it is still one of the most unbelievable films I have ever seen. The directors attempts at twists and turns are either predictable or just plain stupid.

This is the kind of made-for-TV film that you would end up watching on a cable channel as a last alternative to suicide. It's rubbish, don't watch it.
