Trivia
Did you know that Darkness Falls was originally titled The Tooth Fairy? Plus when the first trailers were released and shown, it was originally The Tooth Fairy but the studio decided to re-title it Darkness Falls so children wouldn't become afraid of the Tooth Fairy fable. See more...
Continuity: When Larry is driving Kyle out of Darkness Falls, Kyle pulls a gun on him to get Larry to turn back to the hospital. The camera angle changes from a rear shot to a side shot a few times, during which Kyle goes from looking directly ahead without the gun raised to facing Larry with the gun raised. This happens a couple of times just before the tooth fairy flies in front of them and causes the car crash.
Plot hole: Given that the kids in the beginning are supposed to be ten years old, it's a little strange that they're talking about third-period English class and Saturday-night boy-ask-girl dances. I don't know too many elementary schools that provide things like that for their fourth or fifth graders.
Continuity: When the police are taking Kyle-as-a-kid after his mother's death he's stood by the car (looking fairly evil) with many bloody cuts on his face and neck, but the next shot of him sat in the car shows he has just the one tiny unrelated nick on his cheek he had at the beginning of the film before the Tooth Fairy's attack.
Factual error: Towards the end of the movie when Kyle, Michael and Kat are all in the lighthouse, they drop a green lightstick which then breaks in two. However, in reality, these lightsticks are virtually unbreakable as they are made of hard durable plastic which is why they are used by survival experts, divers and the emergency services. They are non-heat producing and work on a biochemical reaction - another reason why they are so difficult to break is to keep these chemicals in.
Factual error: Towards the end of the movie when the power has failed, the emergency lights come on. After about 10 minutes someone is heard to say that they only have a few minutes of light left. Emergency lights in this country (England) are required to last 3 hours non-maintained, I'm sure that in America the characteristics of the lights must be similar, e.g. the emergency lights should be on longer than 13 minutes.
Factual error: When we see Kyle as an adult, images of his several pill bottles are flashed on screen. One of these says "anti-psychotic" and is later referenced by a police officer; the other says "Take every 4 hours for depression." There are two problems with these pill bottles: first, psychoactive drugs would never have their purpose on the bottle, to protect the patient. Second, almost all anti-depressants are taken daily, and take weeks or longer to reach full effect.
