‘Some things should never come to light…’
In the Dark is a 2015 American horror film produced by Seven Oaks Films and Intimation Productions, and written and directed by David Spaltro. Its not to be confused with another 2015 movie by Jose Zambrano Cassella, also titled In the Dark.
The film stars Grace Folsom, Lynn Justinger, Fiona Horrigan, Catherine Cobb Ryan, and Kayla Leasure.
Press release:
‘Combining both the appeal of the thrills and chills that are a staple of the horror genre as well as a strong, original story headed by a female cast of some of NYC’s most talented actresses, …In the Dark is a lovingly bloody valentine to the inspirational works of Stephen King, John Carpenter, and 1973’s The Exorcist. The film’s strikingly haunting visual images from cinematographer Gus Sacks are complemented by over 50 minutes of original music by award-winning composer Fritz Myers of Platitude Music ( IFC’s White Reindeer, Sushi Girl, Best Soundtrack, 2012’s Toronto After Dark).’
Plot teaser:
Skeptical grad student Veronica Carpenter (Justinger) interviews renowned paranormal specialist Dr. Lois Kearne (Horrigan) for her thesis on the benefits of her supernatural research in regards to modern psychology and joins her on a field study trip to a Brooklyn family home supposedly “besieged by evil spirits.” Once at the residence of nurse Joan Mills (Ryan) and Bethany (Folsom), her recently returned daughter, the investigators are immediately confronted with dark secrets, darker energies, unexplainably horrific events, and a young girl whose affliction tests the boundaries of all their collective research and experience, forcing everyone to confront their own haunted pasts and demons. And what exactly is lying hungrily in wait …In the Dark.
