![]() Fortunately, there are some people to help explain Will's destiny, and explain the plot (but do little else). He claims to be looking for "the Signs", but Will doesn't know what he's talking about. The Rider keeps on appearing before our young hero, and sending demonic mall security guards and evil grannies who can summon snakes after him. The Dark is represented by a villain called The Rider (Christopher Eccleston), named so because he rides around on horseback. Light won out in the end, but Dark is vying to make a comeback. ![]() ![]() Supposedly, thousands of years ago, there was a great battle between the forces of Light and Darkness for control of the world. He's just turned 14, and has also just discovered that he's part of a prophecy that he never knew about. ![]() Will is your average awkward teen struggling to fit in after his father's job forced the family to move overseas from America to England. Our young hero is Will Shanton (Alexander Ludwig). ![]() That's quite an amazing feat when you consider it centers around a kid with numerous superhuman powers, and surrounds said kid with themes of time travel, villains who can summon swarms of crows and snakes in an instant, and an apocalyptic snow storm that could bring about the end of the world. While not completely unwatchable and competently made, the film has no sense of wonder. If you were to take the Harry Potter film franchise and remove all the memorable characters, fun, adventure, and coherent narrative storytelling, you would get The Seeker: The Dark is Rising. ![]()
