[31 Days of Halloween 2015: IN THE DARK premieres October 15th at the Tall Grass film festival in Wichita, Kansas.]
Review by Bob Ignizio
*Note: As with last year’s 31 Days of Halloween marathon of
horror movie reviews, we’ll be diving deep into the new release section looking
for modern horror fare, hoping for the best, but frankly expecting the worst.*
There’s nothing about IN
THE DARK that makes it a better or more original film than any number of
other EXORCIST rip-offs. It is,
however, professionally made and delivers the goods its audience expects, so if
you really want to see this material get rehashed once again, you could do
worse.
In the Linda Blair role is Grace Folsom as Bethany Mills, a
college age artist who recently survived an accident and is currently living at
home with her mom Joan (Catherine Cobb Ryan). Bethany has just started a new
series of paintings with a distinctly creepy vibe when strange things start
happening in the house – lights flicker, radios go off and on, and mysterious
and dangerous apparitions start to appear.
