The Darkness

About This Movie

The Darkness (2016) is an interesting piece in the horror genre, diving into the eeriness of family dynamics and the supernatural. It follows a family that returns from the Grand Canyon with something sinister tagging along, and honestly, the atmosphere feels thick with dread. The pacing, while sometimes a bit uneven, builds a sense of unease that hangs around like a shadow. The practical effects, though not groundbreaking, add a certain weight to the haunting elements. Performances vary, but you can sense the tension and fear the characters embody. There's something distinctive about the way it explores themes of guilt and consequence—definitely gives you food for thought, even if it doesn’t fully land every moment.
