The Darkling was a very interesting and entertaining film while F. Murray Abraham was in it. Spoilers: About halfway through, F.Murray gets zapped, because The Darkling is some kind of demon-like creature who enjoys living vicariously. He takes bums and losers and perverts them further while giving them all they want in terms of success. He feeds from their enjoyment of the Seven Deadly Sins. However, part of it is that he needs to get people who may be flawed but not completely evil. Otherwise he cannot "pervert" their natural goodness. That's what the little guy said in his Barry White voice, which I found both charming and amusing. Mostly amusing. Like imagine Barry White if he were a little dwarf and he was telling Aiden Gillen "Dee Plane, Dee Plane, Bos, Here eet come, Dee Plane!" All through the movie, Dee Dwarf (actually a robotronic cherub) talks to Aiden Gillen in the Barry White voice, saying things like "It's OK to be bad, you know you want it." "Now you've committed murder, you're really moving up in the world" and other remarks that sound like commercials for "Being Evil" Stores or something. It really is hilarious in a sick way.

Anyhow, Aiden Gillen is no F. Murray Abraham, and the movie tanks as soon as Murray gets the axe (or knifed?). F. Murray brings a certain happy malevolence to his role in this film. He is a good actor. Aiden Gillen on the other hand has a permanent happy smirk on his face, and he looks like maybe his remedial English Comp. class had never hit the Mythological Characters and he could not imagine what the movie was about. The ENDING is really creepy and yet almost comical. If this movie were a parody, the ending was perfect. If it was not a parody, then it was creepy; but a cheap use of a little girl to deliver a gross-out that the movie itself could not deliver. The people who made this movie lost whatever it was that they wanted to do with it somewhere before the ending. It just ends like they just realized that they had run out of money and had to film a quickie ending.

The Darkling var en mycket intressant och underhållande film medan F. Murray Abraham var med i den. Spoilers: Ungefär halvvägs igenom blir F.Murray zapped, eftersom The Darkling är någon sorts demonliknande varelse som tycker om att leva vicariously. Han tar lodisar och förlorare och förvränger dem ytterligare samtidigt som han ger dem allt de vill ha i termer av framgång. Han livnär sig av att de njuter av de sju dödssynderna. En del av det är dock att han behöver få människor som kan vara bristfälliga men inte helt onda. Annars kan han inte "pervertera" deras naturliga godhet. Det var vad den lille killen sa i sin Barry White röst, som jag tyckte var både charmig och rolig. Mestadels roande. Tänk dig Barry White om han var en liten dvärg och han sa till Aiden Gillen "Dee Plane, Dee Plane, Bos, Here eet come, Dee Plane!" Under hela filmen pratar Dee Dwarf (egentligen en robotronisk kerub) med Aiden Gillen i Barry White-rösten, och säger saker som "Det är okej att vara dålig, du vet att du vill ha den." "Nu har du begått mord, du är verkligen på väg upp i världen" och andra kommentarer som låter som reklam för "Vara ond" Stores eller något. Det är jätteroligt på ett sjukt sätt. Aiden Gillen är i alla fall ingen F. Murray Abraham, och filmtankarna så fort Murray får yxan (eller knivhuggen?). F. Murray för med sig en viss glad illvilja till sin roll i denna film. Han är en bra skådespelare. Aiden Gillen däremot har ett permanent glatt flin i ansiktet, och han ser ut som kanske hans korrigerande engelska Comp. klassen hade aldrig slagit Mytologiska Karaktärerna och han kunde inte föreställa sig vad filmen handlade om. SLUTET är riktigt läskigt och ändå nästan komiskt. Om den här filmen var en parodi var slutet perfekt. Om det inte var en parodi, då var det läskigt; men en billig användning av en liten flicka för att leverera en äcklig-out som filmen själv inte kunde leverera. De som gjorde den här filmen förlorade vad de ville göra med den någonstans innan slutet. Det slutar som om de bara insåg att de hade slut på pengar och var tvungna att filma ett snabbt slut.

At least Aiden Gillen is not an F. Murray Abraham, and the film tanks as soon as Murray gets the axe (or stabbed?). F. Murray brings some cheerful malice to his role in this film. He's a good actor. Aiden Gillen, on the other hand, has a permanently cheerful grin on his face, and he looks like perhaps his corrective English Comp. The class had never beaten the Mythological Characters and he could not imagine what the film was about. THE end is really scary and yet almost comical. If this movie was a parody, the end was perfect. If it wasn't a parody, then it was scary; but a cheap use of a little girl to deliver a disgusting-out that the film itself couldn't deliver. Those who made this movie lost what they wanted to do with it somewhere before the end. It ends as if they only realized they were out of money and had to film a quick end.
