I'm going into this film expecting to be bored and unmoved.

Uh...
yeah.
My instincts were right. "Dark Places" was boring and left me unmoved. Poor Gillian Flynn. What a difference David Fincher, Trent Reznor, and Atticus Ross make. It's not like "Gone Girl" was spectacular, but at least the way it was shot was of quality, and at least "Gone Girl" gave us an unsettling, yet awesome score (see:
The Way He Looks At Me).
Anyway, I couldn't stand watching Chloë Grace Moretz. I wish Hollywood would stop giving her roles. Hollwood, stop hiring Moretz and hire the more talented Abigail Breslin instead. You can tell that Moretz thinks she's "so edgy" in her roles. She's not a good actress. I want her dead. Charlize Theron was only interesting when she was bouncing off of Nicholas Hoult. I think I like Nicholas Hoult. I'm looking forward to seeing more from him. But the most interesting part of "Dark Places" was Libby Day's mom, Patty Day. I wish the story focused on her, instead of Libby (Charlize Theron). I really enjoyed Christina Hendricks' performance as Patty. She reminded me of a talented version of Sarah Paulson. (Sorry, Sarah Paulson is overrated and was the least talented actress in "12 Years A Slave," and that movie had Lupita Nyong'o in it.)
In conclusion, I like Nicholas Hoult, I want Chloë Grace Moretz murdered in her sleep, and even though Christina Hendricks stole the film, "Dark Places" is still mediocre at best and will be forgotten pretty quickly. If you read the book, go ahead and see it. If you haven't read the book, just go ahead and skip it and watch "Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation" instead.
