The theatre and online trailer looks great. The one they're showing on TV looks like crap (kind of like "The Ring" meets "Ghost Ship"). I want to see it. Based on the longer theatre trailer I saw.

The title is much better than the original which was Tooth Fairy. Dunno how it will fair since Final Destination 2 is opening the weekend after it and They went away grossing only $12M in 6 weeks.

Considering the McFarlane Movie Maniac toy of it has been out for months now. I really don't have any expectations for this movie. It will just be another "scary" movie. make some money and disappear all to quickly.

That's the main reason I want to check it out......Emma! But I also think it looks like it could be a cool film. I heard they changed the name from Tooth Fairy because they didn't want to freak kids out.

Oh, this is Tooth Fairy?? Tooth Fairy is a much better name. Yeah, it's cheesy, but it gives you a better idea of what kind of twisted things this movie might offer. Darkness Falls sounds like generic visually stylish horror trash. They might as well have called it Dragonfly or something...

I'm not so sure. I've heard stories of gratuitous studio meddling, re-editting, etc. Also, that Macfarlane toy? the original Tooth Fairy, apparently, was nothing at all like the MacFarlane version. The studio, in their infinite wisdom, decided that the villain should look scarier and NOT just be finally shown in the final act, but instead, should look scary and be shown throughout the film.
I hate executives.
Maybe we'll see a director's version on the DVD. As well as the original short, "Tooth Fairy", which it's supposed to be based on.

The title is stolen from one of the best X-Files episodes ever made, and although it didn't deal with a child or the tooth fairy the whole staying in the light theme was central to the plot. Every time I see the preview for this on TV it annoys me because of the title. They should have stayed with Tooth Fairy.

Signs was scary, ring wasn't.
