THE SEEKER: THE DARK IS RISING (2007)

Cast

Plot

Will Stanton is an every day lad whose uneventful existence is turned upside down when he learns that he is the last of the "Old Ones," a group of immortal warriors who have dedicated their lives to fighting the forces of the Dark. As he uncovers a series of mysterious clues, some dating back to the founding of Britain and others going all the way back to biblical times, Will discovers that with the 'Dark' once again rising, the future of the world rests in his hands. A not entirely successful adaptation of the first of Susan Cooper's ‘The Dark Is Rising' fantasy adventure novels; a decent budget and quite a lot of pace cannot entirely save it from some pretty hammy acting and a rather clunky script…great fun for the young'uns mind.
