Darkness Falls is a 2003 supernatural horror film written by Joe Harris, James Vanderbilt and John Fasano and directed by Jonathan Liebesman, in his feature directorial debut.
The film stars Chaney Kley and Emma Caulfield. It follows Kyle Walsh (Kley), who witnesses his mother's murder at the hands of a vengeful spirit lynched by an angry mob more than 150 years ago. Twelve years later, Kyle returns to his childhood home because Michael Greene (Lee Cormie), the young brother of his romantic interest Caitlin (Caulfield), is being stalked by the same spirit. Kyle must protect them from this powerful enemy and put an end to its killing spree.
Released on January 24, 2003, Darkness Falls performed well at the box office, grossing $47.5 million against a budget of $11 million, but was critically panned.
