THE DARKNESS
released OUT NOW! 15 | 93 minutes
A family come home from a trip to the Grand Canyon with more than they bargained for in this latest Blumhouse horror – a supernatural curse.
A greater commitment to exploring the family tension exacerbated by the son’s autism and daughter’s bulimia might have helped make up for the unimaginative scare tactics, but these potentially interesting themes are dropped entirely for generic mumbo-jumbo about ancient civilisations and inter-dimensional demons (that the filmmakers take far too seriously).
