DARK CORNERS stars Emmy Award and Golden Globe nominee Thora Birch (American Beauty, Ghost World) and Toby Stephens (Die Another Day). Karen Clarke wakes suddenly to the piercing shriek of her clock...( read more  read more... ) radio. It is still dark, the green glow of the digital numbers read 03:18. She shuffles to the bathroom, switches on the light... ... and recoils in horror at the reflection in the mirror - she has been badly beaten but apparently has no memory of how… She collapses to her knees and throws up into the toilet. CLINK! Something metal hits the porcelain. Confused, Karen reaches in and pulls out a key. A very strange locker key... Karen works in a mortuary, preparing bodies for pre-funeral viewings, and on this particular morning all seems relatively normal... until a corpse sits up, grabs Karen's wrist and curses her for “What she has done!” And that's just the beginning. Strange, ugly people led by the monstrous Needletooth seem to be stalking her every move, plaguing her already bizarre existence. Even in her own home she feels their malevolent presence. And every time she wakes, she has been beaten. Her only reprieve from this hellish existence is when she sleeps. For the moment Karen Clarke falls asleep she awakes as Susan Hamilton - a normal girl with a normal life and a normal job. Susan believes Karen to be her nightmare alter ego. Karen believes Susan to be her dream of a better life. But which is the real world and which is the dream? As strange occurrences begin to infiltrate Susan's once normal life, the boundaries between conscious and subconscious become increasingly blurred. But is she prepared to face the truth? The truth held within her own mind. The truth unlocked only by that strange locker key…

    don't ask me what the story was about or how it connected. i couldn't figure out what was going on at all but for some strange reason that didn't annoy me. usually if i watch say... a lynch film or something like... donnie darko it bugs the fuck out of me if i can't figure it out...( read more). this film rolls along like you're on acid and it's not for the squeamish either. there's not alot more to say about it... worth a watch for sure

    I really liked this film!. . . I think that Thora Birch did a good job at playing a duel role!. . .

    I hate watching the "making of" segment on movies like this because no one involved seems to know that the movie is shite. "People are gonna LOVE this movie," says the executive producer, and my heart just goes out to him.

    There was so much wrong with this one, I don't even know...( read more) where to begin without a detailed synopsis - suffice to say, this is an hour and a half better spent doing anything else. Anything.

    Dark Corners is a movie starring Thora Birch who wakes up a different person one day and lives their life. Stuck between both worlds she struggles to see what is real and what isn't real.
    Dark Corners is an okay movie that could have been a lot better. This type has done before ...( read more)and Dark Corners is easily one of the better versions but its not that great. Sometimes a story has too many twists that just drags it down. At best this is two stars. If you are bored rent it.

    Opera prima del director Ray Gower que logra una película de calidad, sin llegar a la perfección. Debe reconocer que me costó un poco de trabajo entenderla. Tora Birch realiza una interpretación de calidad como nos ha acostumbrado.

    La recomiendo.

    Thora Birch did a fantastic job carrying this entire vehicle. I thought she was just playing herself in American Beauty. She really inpressed me in this one.

    ?????? i dont get it. the ending was so confusing. i think it was supposed to be a weird twist at the end and have some profound meaning, but i was so lost.
    ??????
