On the bright side, with Charlize Theron as its damaged-goods heroine, this more routine Kansas-set chiller should still rake in some decent cash for the U.S. While the raw ingredients - thick with serial killings, satanic cults, true-crime obsessives and twisted family secrets - certainly make “ Dark Places” deserving of its title, the mystery itself can’t hold a candle to the much higher-profile David Fincher pic that sparked the town’s wave of Flynn-terest (though rights were sold as far back as 2010, the greenlight waited till “Girl” went). No matter how you feel about “ Gone Girl,” there’s no denying that Gillian Flynn’s second bigscreen adaptation is a relative disappointment.
