DVD - The Dark

How far would you go to save someone you loved?

The Dark is a story about the Celtic land of the dead, Annwyn. According to legend when one dies they go to this land, however the veil is thin between the living and the dead. There are times when the dead want to return and can take the place of a living person. Our movie centers around a small family on the rocky coast of Wales. James and Adele are having difficulties in their marriage. Their young daughter, Sarah, finding it hard to cope, is your typical rebelious, "let's see how far I can push the boundaries and get away with it" child. Adele begins have sinister visions and when Sarah disappears beneath the rough seas, Adele believes she is still alive and trapped in the land of the dead. While James tries to cope with the grief of losing his daughter, Adele seems to be headed down a path of madness. To find out how far she is willing to go to bring her daughter back to the land of the living, you'll have to rent the dvd.

The Dark, although in the horror section, is not really horror movie. It's a movie about human nature and the soul. It is very thought provoking and haunting.
