yes and i sit through the whole thing and god know why . it be a long afternoon and i have nothing to do and it be bitterly cold outside and okay and those be all lame excuse but theyre the only one i have . i give the darkling 4 star out of a possible 10 i have see bad film and but this one definitely be right there in the old trash bin of bad filmdom poor script and poor acting and bad lighting and and cheesy special effect . the storyline and which never completely make sense and revolve around this simple little family and daddy and mommy and and little girl that i assume the viewer be suppose to be identify with and all three of them be tedious and annoy . you just want the dark side to get every one of them . daddy be a cook whose hobby be car . daddy meet a rich man name rubin who collect car and who be also in possession of a be he purchase in the mysterious orient . rubin keep it in a birdcage and refers to it a the darkling . during the course of the film and the darkling be explain a be about 3 or 4 different thing represent a shadow without a person and the inner darkness that exist in all of u and and the devil . so take your pick of whichever one of those explanation suit your fancy because trust me and it doesn not really matter . the darkling main problem seem to be that it crave have a companion it get a human companion and then eventually be dissatisfy with the human be . this and of course and lead to immense wealth and follow by disaster and for the human who hook up with the darkling . and for the rest of u it just lead to a very long and tedious movie .
