Attacking the Darkness

About This Movie

Attacking the Darkness is quite the peculiar blend of comedy and documentary. It dives into the absurdities of American religious extremism through the lens of independent filmmaking. You’ve got Harmony Hope Bryant at the helm, and her approach to tackling the dangers of roleplaying games is both humorous and thought-provoking. The tone shifts often - one moment you’re laughing at the ridiculousness, the next you’re pondering deeper societal issues. The pacing is a bit erratic, but it kind of adds to its charm. It's not about big-budget effects, but rather the rawness of its performances that stick with you. You might find its distinctive take on a sensitive subject both jarring and engaging, which is always interesting in the indie scene.
