Darkness

About This Movie

Darkness (2019) is an interesting anthology that dives into nine short horror tales, all set against the eerie backdrop of Paraguay. The tone is consistently unsettling, with a palpable sense of dread woven throughout. Each segment has its own unique flavor, but they all share a haunting atmosphere that's hard to shake. The pacing varies, with some stories building tension slowly while others hit you with visceral shocks right away. Practical effects are utilized effectively, giving a gritty feel that elevates the horror. There’s a rawness to the performances, making the fear feel more authentic. Definitely has a distinct cultural angle, which adds layers to the familiar horror tropes. It’s not the typical fare, and that’s what caught my interest.
