The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising (2007)
Director: David L. Cunningham
Movie review
From Time Out New York
A 14-year-old American in England discovers that he’s the latest in an ancient line of warriors. And that he can travel through time. Oh, and that in five days the Dark will prevail unless he finds six fractal-marked signs that will restore the power of the Light. The revelations (not to mention Vikings, snakes and killer crows) come fast and furious in this bombastic fantasy, a mealy adaptation of one installment in Susan Cooper’s acclaimed book series.Author: Stephen Garrett
