The Dark
Directed by Justin P. Lange
Mina, a young woman who was murdered, now stalks the forest that saw her demise. Anytime some unfortunate soul enters her area, they are quickly dispatched and become her feast. But when she stumbles across a young boy named Alex in the back of a car who shows signs of clear and horrifying abuse, she can’t bring herself to do away with him. Rather, she becomes his protector while trying to protect her own little world.
A haunting and deeply intense atmospheric film about love, monsters and revenge.
Cast: Nadia Alexander, Toby Nichols, Karl Markovics

Not scary but really good! I wish we got more backstory on our characters but original and interesting all the same
Depressing but worth watching
A truly wonderful film. A love story woven into the fabric of horror. There is a let me in feel here but in a much different vain. You can relate and have understanding for the abused Alex and what he endured as well as Mina’s rape and murder. Hence two lost souls find a moment together and in the process both begin to heal in profound ways. This is a beautiful film. Well shot and there are layers to this. So worth the time to watch this slow burn show it’s light.
For me the dark fell somewhere in the middle of how i felt about it. First of all this is more of a artsy type of horror which is cool and it reminded me of let me in . The positives are it has great character development and the relationship between mina and alex is beautifully done. Any horror or thriller that can make you feel for the characters is good and it shows her backstory which is a plus i hate it when a movie doesn't explain a characters backround. The negatives are that for me it was very slow and dragged in parts but it took its time in a boring way. Loved the ending really shows she set free what she loved. Cant rate it too low or high but its worth watching.
was good and sad
