“The Dark Within” (* out of four) was an unendurable thriller about a disturbed man (Mark Wood) with various psychic and supernatural abilities who tries to unravel the disappearance of his parents and preserve his own sanity by locking himself in a cabin in the middle of the woods but things don’t go entirely as planned. Laughably dumb and over-the-top movie is loaded with flashbacks and loud shock effects but is really much ado about nothing. It’s movies like these that make you realize how much masterworks the first two “Evil Dead” movies were nearly 40 years ago!
