DARK, executive produced by master of horror Joe Dante and directed by Nick Basile from a screenplay by GUT's Elias, is a movie we've been talking about for two years now. We started with some casting news and followed that up with an early teaser months later. I was able to write a review of the film last September, coinciding with its world premiere on the festival circuit. It was announced back in February that Screen Media Films had acquired the distribution rights, but we were waiting to hear how and when they would be releasing it.
That wait is now over. Fangoria received the exclusive word that Screen Media will be releasing DARK on VOD June 7th.
Whitney Able, Alexandra Breckenridge, Brendan Sexton III, and Michael Eklund star in the film, which is set in New York during the Northeast 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.
If you've been looking forward to DARK for a while, rest assured, you only have a little over two weeks left to wait.
