Maybe Not The Best HD PR
The good news is...Huntington's Disease is part of the plot of a movie.
The bad news is...the movie sucks.
A movie review of "Darkness" includes this:
The tag for "Darkness" is: "Some secrets should never come to light." Well, some movies should never come to light, either, and "Darkness," bearing a 2002 copyright, might well have been better left on the shelf.Maria (Olin) and Mark (Iain Glen) and their children, Regina (Paquin) and Paul (Stephan Enquist), have settled into a large turn-of-the-last century house in a vaguely American Colonial Revival style — not the kind of structure one would expect to find about 10 miles from Barcelona.
Mark was born in Spain, but when he was a child, his mother took him to America after divorcing his father, Albert (Giannini).
They've left the U.S. seeking quieter surroundings for Mark, who has suffered from Huntington's disease but is apparently in remission.
Doesn't sound promising.
UPDATE: Here's another review...they didn't like it either. A quote:
To the film's credit, I gave it the benefit of the doubt for a while, as it appeared in opening scenes to be a thinking person's horror film. That impression certainly didn't last.
