The Dark

Dunkles Filmposter mit der Aufschrift THE DARK, zeigt eine finstere Waldszene mit einer weiblichen Figur, die blutverschmiert ist und einen Teddy hält, umgeben von düsteren Baumstämmen und Ästen.

A murderous, flesh-eating undead young girl haunting the remote stretch of woods where she was murdered decades earlier, discovers a kidnapped and abused boy hiding in the trunk of one of her victim’s cars. Her decision to let the boy live throws her aggressively solitary existence into upheaval, and ultimately forces her to re-examine just how much of her humanity her murderer was able to destroy.
