About This Movie

Dariuss, from 2023, immerses you in a haunting exploration of grief and trauma. Set in the isolated English countryside of Essex, the film unfolds through a fragmented narrative that captures the raw pain of a family shattered by loss. The camera work has this gritty, hand-held quality that really pulls you into their despair. And there’s something unsettling in how it contrasts the serene landscape with the horror of their reality. The performances are raw, especially the lead woman, who conveys an almost mesmerizing blend of vulnerability and rage. Practical effects are utilized in a way that feels both shocking and grounded, making the tragedy feel all the more real. It’s a distinctive take on the horror genre, with an emphasis on emotional depth over cheap thrills.

Strong emphasis on psychological horror.Interesting use of practical effects.Atmospheric tension throughout.
