FROM THE BACK OF THE BOX:

After a mysterious and bloody massacre in their isolated country house leaves her parents and younger brother dead, 11-year-old Neve is taken by police to friends of the family to be looked after. When Neve tries to explain that an evil force within the house caused her family’s deaths, she s met with disbelief from both the authorities and her new family. As the police try to find the crime’s real perpetrators, Neve is given a social worker to try to ease her trauma. But before long it becomes apparent that whatever killed her family has followed Neve to her new home, and soon she and all those around her are in mortal danger of the malevolent power that seems to be tied to the innocent girl. A pulse-pounding supernatural thriller, DARK TOUCH weaves the tension of a horror film with the plight of a newly orphaned girl to create a unique examination of the paranormal.

FROM THE BACK OF MY BRAIN:

“Dark Touch” is all about the power of a young girl’s scream. When little Neve is in trouble or feels that something is about to go down, she can telekinetically rage scream at people. The film carries on and on with little resolution. However, it appears to be part of a recent trend about horror that casual fans seem to love. They want to see kids steal focus and push harder against what is accepted. In that case, the supernatural thriller angle is more apt.

Mysterious creepy kids is hitting a point where it’s turning into a horror crutch. Rarely do you see it done well anymore, but everyone keeps wanting to trot it out. There are thrillers and there are horror movies, let’s make it clear that this is a thriller that wants to aspire to be something greater. It’s never going to happen, so they need to get over it. But, is that a bad thing?

The DVD comes with a trailer. The Dolby 5.1 surround track is pretty dynamic for an indie horror flick. However, the transfer sports the usual edge enhancement for a standard definition flick. It was much more prevalent during the darker scenes. In the end, I’d recommend a purchase to the curious.
