If you shell out the cash for Dark Carnival, don't be surprised if you throw it out the window. The acting was horrid, the effects worse, no real point. It was a movie wandering amlessly throughout where ever bad movies go. Movie heaven maybe, but unfortunatly Dark Carnival probally went to movie hell. I love cheesey horror flicks, but this was down right a waste of time. Rent if you are curious, but don't throw away your cash on such a bad flick.
