Line 2: [[File:DarknessFalls_1919.jpg\|frame]] {{quote\|''Over 150 years ago in the town of [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast\|Darkness]] [[Title Drop\|Falls]], Matilda Dixon was adored by all the children. Whenever one of the children lost a tooth, they would bring it to her for a gold coin, earning her the name, "The Tooth Fairy". One day, [[A Nightmare Onon Elm Street\|a fire tore through her home on nighthouse point, leaving her face horribly scarred]]. Matilda's burnt flesh was so sensitive to light, [[Pitch Black\|she could only go out at night]], [[Friday the ~~Thirteenth~~13th\|always wearing a porcelain mask]]. One day, two children didn't come home. The townspeople blamed Matilda. They hanged her. Since then, there are some who believe that Matilda still visits the children of Darkness Falls on the night they lose their last tooth, [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge\|seeking her vengeance upon those who lay their eyes upon her face]], fulfilling her curse, "What I took before in kindness, I shall take forever in revenge".''\|'''Opening Narration'''}} A 2003 horror movie originally inspired by ''The Tooth Fairy'', a short film by comic book artist Joe Harris, but due to [[Executive Meddling]], ended up being completely different from the original concept, with even the design of the monster going through several changes. It follows the story of Matilda Dixon, who was left horribly disfigured in a fire, [[You Fail Biology Forever\|only allowing her to go into the sunlight wearing only a mask]]. After being murdered by the townsfolk, [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge\|her ghost seeks out revenge, killing everyone who lays eyes on her face]]. {{tropelist}} ~~----~~ ~~=== This film provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Asshole Victim]]: The aggressive bully from the bar. Line 24 ⟶ 23: * [[Friend to All Children]]: Matilda, when she was alive. * [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: We never actually see Matilda in action. Just the aftermath. * [[~~Hey Its That Guy\|~~Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Hey, it's [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer\|Anya]]! * [[Hollywood Psych]]: So you have a kid who's so terrified of darkness that he ''tries to commit suicide''. Do you give him medication? Have a therapist talk to him and try to work out where the phobia came from? [[Mundane Solution\|Let him sleep with the light on?]] Nope, you stick him in a sensory deprivation chamber to make him "face his fears head-on!" Never mind that actual desensitization therapy involves starting small and ''slowly'' building up to a more extreme representation of their phobia. * [[I Don't Like the Sound of That Place]]: Seriously, who decided to name the town "Darkness Falls?" Line 33 ⟶ 32: * [[Ominous Fog]] * [[Police Are Useless]]: Among other things, they immediately arrest someone for murder based ''entirely'' on the fact that he's on antipsychotic medication. * [[Pre -Ass -Kicking One -Liner]]: See [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]] example below. * [[Prophecies Rhyme All the Time]]: "The searing light consumed her whole, setting free her wicked soul." * [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] * [[Room Full of Crazy]]: Though Kyle is quite a talented artist. * [[Rule of Scary]] * [[Super -Persistent Predator]]: How many decades was Matilda chasing Kyle? ** Although, [[Justified Trope\|justified]] in that, since she's a ghost, she doesn't need to sleep, eat, drink, etc. * [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]: "I SEE YOU, '''BITCH'''!" * [[Town ~~With~~with a Dark Secret]] * [[Trailers Always Spoil]]: The DVD box shows Matilda sans mask. * [[Wall of Weapons]] * [[What the Hell, Townspeople?]] * [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Matilda. {{reflist}}
