Darkroom

About This Movie

Darkroom (2017) dives into the classic trope of teenage curiosity leading to nightmare scenarios. This film immerses you in a tense atmosphere, driven by a simple but eerie premise revolving around an ancient camera. The pacing is uneven at times, which adds to the disorientation as things spiral out of control. The practical effects on the demon are noteworthy, lending a visceral quality to the horror that feels refreshing compared to CGI-heavy flicks. Performances are solid, with the possessed character bringing a palpable dread that lingers. Themes of friendship and the consequences of recklessness resonate throughout, making it more than just a jump scare fest. It’s an interesting piece for collectors who appreciate the indie horror landscape and the creativity that often comes from it.
