Dark

About This Movie

Dark is an interesting piece, really. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and it captures that eerie isolation of the 2003 NYC blackout quite well. The pacing is deliberate, which adds to the tension as we see this young woman grapple with her fears in a confined space. I appreciate the practical effects; they enhance the realism of her psychological struggle. The performances, especially hers, are raw and intense. You can feel her descent into madness, which is compelling. It’s not just about the horror but more about the personal journey through trauma. The film leaves you with an unsettling feeling that lingers long after the credits roll.
