==Ratings==
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===

* Rated: R (Violence, Profanity, Adult Content)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)

The "Dreamland" (Anwynn) is fairly eerie and the faerie-folk are a common enough theme in Lovecraftian literature between Machen's faeries, and the multitude of faerie-like creatures that haunt the stories of Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft....

''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''

==Synopsis==

{{spoiler|
Adelle makes the journey from New York City to Wales with her daughter, Sarah. There, Adelle attempts to patch things up with Sarah's father, James. The visit turns tragic when Sarah disappears in the ocean. But then a young girl named Ebril shows up who, eerily, seems to have died in a mass suicide half a century earlier. Ebril claims that Adelle's daughter has been taken to the Welsh underworld.

+* Keith Hennessey Brown at the Eye for Film (Two & a Half Stars) ([http://www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/review/the-dark-film-review-by-keith-hennessey-brown link]) - "... much of the more intimate and interesting material is lost in a tale of sound and fury that, if not quite signifying nothing, nevertheless comes perilously close to drowning out fine performances..."
+* Matthew Leyland at the BBC Movies Review ([http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2006/04/05/the_dark_2006_review.shtml link]) - "Up to a point, there's enough eerie intrigue to offset the clunky cliches. But it looks like the editor had a funny turn when splicing together the final act, an incoherent montage of would-be frights that casts a pall over the whole film."
