A blackout of terror with the trailer for Dark, from exec producer Joe Dante

Last Updated on July 22, 2021

Back in May we learned that "Bates Motel" actor Michael Eklund was set to join the cast of Nick Basile's upcoming DARK, a sinister looking tale of terror set during a blackout that is executive produced by Joe Dante. Today we've landed an early teaser for the flick and it certainly looks unnerving.

BLACK HAWK DOWN's Brendan Sexton III, Whitney Able (MONSTERS) and Alexandra Breckenridge (“American Horror Story”) also star in the tale that centers on…

Set in NYC during the blackout of 2003, Kate, a struggling 30-something model with a troubled past, has just moved into her girlfriend Leah's Brooklyn loft, but already doubts about their relationship have begun to loom. When Leah leaves for the weekend, Kate unexpectedly finds herself alone in the apartment in the midst of the worst blackout in North American history. As darkness falls over the city, Kate's paranoia grows and she begins to believe someone in the building is stalking her. With no one to help her and escape out of reach, Kate is forced to confront her deepest fears as she fights to survive through the night.

DARK was written by the singularly-named Elias (who wrote and directed last years GUT).

Kathryn Belli, Dave Boulton, Basile, and Elias will produce alongside executive producer Joe Dante and his company Renfield Productions.

Peep the early teaser below, but keep the lights on!
