A woman who wants to find closure goes down a very dark path with unpredictable consequences.
You have never seen more elaborate and thorough preparation for something that could not sound, seem, or feel so wrong. IFC Midnight invests in a slow-burn thriller that writer/director Liam Gavin makes as real as they come. The amazing performances from Steve Oram and Catherine Walker enhance that pseudorealism.
As the ritual progresses, one question will inevitably come to your mind: Is it working? A subsequent question will be: Do you want it to work? Even better, should it work? Now, what you need to know is that the ritual performed in the film exists and is known as the Abramelin Operation. Certain parts of the rituals were deliberately left out, and Gavin asked the artists to change the symbols – for obvious reasons.
A Dark Song meticulously elaborates on a ritual that you wouldn’t probably dare to perform, whether you are a believer or not. The ending is like anything you ever expected, so if you are going to find it exciting, thrilling, dull, or nonsensical, it cannot be predicted. All I can tell you is that it will get your attention.
Highly recommended for every horror fan out there (with patience). Definitely worth your while!
