About This Movie

Darklands (2022) presents a unique blend of fantasy and introspection that feels like a dream caught between reality and the surreal. The pacing can be deliberately slow, allowing you to soak in the eerie atmosphere, which is enhanced by some striking practical effects. The way it captures different emotions through its protagonist’s journey is intriguing – it's almost like watching a painting come to life, each scene a brushstroke of mood and feeling. The performances are raw and unfiltered, adding to the film's overall haunting quality. There’s something about how it plays with time and setting that feels distinctive, like it’s trying to mesh different cursed eras into one cohesive experience.
