The Dark 2018

Louise and Michael, two siblings, return to their Texas family farm due to their father’s deteriorating condition, which leaves him bedridden and unresponsive. Their mother, who is visibly disturbed, expresses a wish for them to leave the property. Tragically, she takes her own life by hanging in the barn and inflicts harm upon herself before that, which shocks the siblings to their core.

As time passes, Louise and Michael begin to uncover the tragic circumstances surrounding their mother’s demise. The nurse caring for their father confides in them, revealing that she overheard their mother’s whispers to their father, suggesting a presence that was not him. In a heartbreaking moment, Michael discovers their mother’s diary; its pages are filled with her terrors regarding an unnamed being, which she feared was threatening their father.

During their mother’s burial, they encounter Father Thorne, a priest who claims to have known their mother, raising more questions than answers. That same night, he mysteriously appears outside their farm, beckoning to them before vanishing into thin air. Meanwhile, Charlie, a ranch hand living nearby, experiences a horrifying vision of Louise that drives him to take his own life.

Unaware of Charlie’s fate, Louise tries to contact him but fails. Out of concern for their father’s safety, the siblings call for a doctor, who confirms that their father’s condition is critical and that moving him could be fatal. The eerie events continue as they find their entire herd of goats brutally slaughtered, leading them to dispose of the carcasses in a bonfire.

As night falls, the supernatural takes a darker turn when Michael encounters an apparition of their mother in the barn. In a haunting nightmare, Louise faces an entity attempting to possess her before witnessing her father levitate ominously against the ceiling.

Tragedy strikes again when Charlie’s granddaughter visits the farm, bringing with her a dark energy that reveals itself as the malevolent entity imitating her. Shortly after, the nurse, now possessed, violently lashes out at Louise, culminating in a gruesome act of self-harm.

Meanwhile, back at his home, Michael discovers the lifeless bodies of his wife and daughters, victims of a gruesome tragedy, leading him to a desperate act of his own. Just as he realizes he has been deceived by the entity, it appears that his family, thought dead, emerges alive.

As the night deepens, Louise awakens to find her father slipping away. The moment he passes, the sinister being claims her as well, leading to a chilling conclusion to their nightmare.
