Review of Darkness Visible (2019) by Maxebryan — 19 Feb 2019

Darkness Visible is an interesting addition to the supernatural horror/thriller genre. Taking place in India, the film has a completely different feel than the supernatural horrors that I’m used to and involves a completely new “bad guy”.

I won’t give away too much in this review, but I will say, that Indian witchcraft is as terrifying and unsettling as it sounds. The story follows an artist, Ronnie, who has to travel to India after his mother mysteriously winds up in a hospital there.

Once he arrives, the story switches to more of crime thriller as Ronnie is left as the sole investigator in a string of serial murders. Oh yes, and Indian witchcraft gets introduced, and then the film gets very eerie, and then very scary, all while being very entertaining, and then it ends, and then I’m left wanting to write up a little recommendation to go watch it.

The characters are well developed, the cinematography is attractive and intriguing, and the storyline is engaging and has been thought out in that it doesn’t rely on idiot characters or jump scares to propel the story forward, which in turn leaves nothing to be desired and much to be appreciated.

If you need something fresh to get your blood pumping and your mind racing, Darkness Visible will accomplish that goal and then some.
