The Dark
Director Justin P. Lange | 2018 | 95 minutes | Horror, Thriller | Canada/Austria | English
Official Selection – Tribeca Film Festival 2018
On the outskirts of a small town lies Devil’s Den, a mysterious tract of woods where many have entered but no one has ever left. The local rumor is that the spirit of a young girl who was horrifically murdered there haunts and hunts in this dense forest, brutally slaying anyone who dares to step into her terrain. When a man with a dark past crosses her path, a series of events are set in motion that may lead to a peculiar kind of redemption for two tragically tortured souls.
Part gothic fairytale and part chilling horror, director Justin P. Lange’s debut feature balances rich imagery with a brutal and bloody story of unlikely kindred spirits who must defend themselves against the villainous powers of the ‘normal’ world.
“The Dark brings true heart to the horror genre, while providing just enough of the blood and guts to keep harder-core fans satisfied.”
– Rue Morgue
“Effective and emotionally charged.”
– Dread Central
“A disturbing, yet oddly touching, feature debut.”
– Filmpulse
