The Dark is a chilling ghost story loosely based on Welsh mythology. A good cast, nice direction and plenty of scares fail to make up for this cliché ridden and formulaic horror which is only sparsely entertaining. A couple lose their daughter in an accident and the mother becomes convinced that she is trying to communicate from beyond the grave. All in all this is atmospheric but only mildly entertaining; a ghostly yarn which fails to really grab the audience.
