Rating Summary
Orion and the Dark is a bit of a narrative jumble with the main story repeatedly being stopped by momentum killing and interruptive storytelling tropes. More than that, it's another testosterone zapping story about a weak little boy who's afraid of his own shadow. Even though, his anxiety isn't coddled, is this really something that is needed? Buy your son a BB gun and send him outside instead.
