关于此电影

Sophia has a steely look in her eyes as she insists on renting an old house in the remote countryside. She gives the estate agent a little extra cash for no questions asked. Sophia collects a man at the nearby train station. Joseph Solomon is a northern, coarse man. And an occultist. She needs him to perform an ancient invocation ritual, the Abramelin, to summon up Sophia's Guardian Angel so her wish can be granted. She wishes to talk to her murdered child; it's a desire that consumes her. The ritual is an extremely arduous one. They seal themselves in the house, possibly having to stay there for months as it plays out. As they get deeper into the rite they run the risk of turning on each other and going mad. But when Solomon finds out that Sophia has not been truthful about her wish, a greater danger threatens them. In the dark, they find that they are no longer alone in the house. They are now in the world of real angels, and real demons. The house is surrounded with a line of salt. It is the only protection they have. They must not cross it, no matter how bad it gets, no matter how much they want to run. A Dark Song is the story of two people risking hell to journey through the darkness of their souls. 2016 Fantastic Films. Under Exclusive License to Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment Ltd.

评分和评价

Another great example of 21st Century Horror which sit's well with the likes of the The Witch, The Babadook, Hereditary, It Follows, Kill List and The Endless. Like the others listed, this film wonderfully captures a vibe and sticks with it doggedly throughout its running time. Bleak, thoughtful, spooky and uncanny, well worth a watch.

A slow burn to be sure - but this film is worth it. You're never sure what is real and what is in the lead characters head, but the atmosphere it builds is just so engaging. The end gets weird but it fits with the rest of the story in a way that leaves you satisfied.

Slow burner. More intense thriller then horror but it certainly left you thinking
