Info:

Talented Spanish filmmaker Jaume Balaguero's film Darkness is a terrifying tale in which an ordinary American family moves to a large, creaky Victorian home in the Spanish countryside that, unbeknownst to them, was the scene of some awful experiments on the night of a total eclipse 40 years before. Teenage daughter Regina decides to investigate after unexplained bruises show up on her younger brother, and her father displays oddly enraged and erratic behaviour. Although her mother and her grandfather refuse to believe her, Regina is convinced that something within their new home is the cause of the trouble. As another eclipse looms, Regina enlists the help of her new boyfriend and uncovers truths that could literally destroy her family. Balaguero mixes tried and true cinematic scare devices with his own brand of macabre originality to bring a well-paced, ominous atmosphere to the supernatural ghost story genre. He drains the film of colourful hues and bright light, and effectively uses sound to paralyse and terrorise his viewers.
