About this movie

On the outskirts of a small town lies Devil's Den, a mysterious tract of woods where many have entered but no one has ever left. The local rumor is that the spirit of a young girl who was horrifically murdered there haunts and hunts in this dense forest, brutally slaying anyone who dares to step into her terrain. When a man with a dark past crosses her path, a series of events are set in motion that may lead to a peculiar kind of redemption for two tragically tortured souls. Part gothic fairytale and part chilling horror, director Justin P. Lange's debut feature balances rich imagery with a brutal and bloody story of unlikely kindred spirits who must defend themselves against the villainous powers of the 'normal' world.

Good and scary films are rare these days so when I saw the trailer for "the dark" I was very excited for the potential. This film fell short on several fronts though. Sometimes you can get away with leaving some things unexplained in terms of plot but this one seemed to be too lacking. Also I felt the character development and the pacing was a bit rushed. This movie could have been a little longer but then again maybe it Shouldn't have.

A very different type of horror film that has a deep message and has a bit of romance. If you want something original and just unique you MUST watch this. I really loved this. The best "Horror Drama" i've seen. Top 5 movie from 2018 easily. A gem!
