Dark Touch

 
(Frightfest Day 5)
Excellent brooding examination of abuse and ignorance marred on occasion by a touch of ropey editing and stilted acting

  1. What I thought was a simple 'abused kid makes bad stuff happen' morality tale proved to be much more thought provoking. Some lovely dark scenes as the climax approached too.

  2. Yeah nice and dark. Very creepy stuff in the final section, but too slow in parts and the adults were routinely outacted by the children. The useless guidance teacher was an unintentional highlight. Tell the caviar story again!

  3. Moronic, heavy-handed parable about child abuse and the cycle of abuse showcasing some truly awful dialogue and painfully bad acting. Carrie it ain't.
