In Darkness is a gripping dive into despair. Set in a closed psychiatric ward in Denmark, the film paints a bleak picture with a haunting atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll. The pacing is tight, pulling you along as Alex struggles against the oppressive forces around her, which makes her fight for freedom feel so raw. The practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, adding to the unsettling feel of the ward. Performances are intense, particularly from the lead, capturing the turmoil of not just the mind but the spirit. It’s distinct for its unflinching look at mental health, a theme that resonates deeply yet isn’t often portrayed with such grit. It’s one of those films that stays with you.
