I haven’t been this excited over a short since viewing Paul Solet’s- Grace.
Of Darkness is a creepy little tale of terror that will keep you enthralled up until the very last scene.
Brian and his brother Jeff are moving an old chest of their grandfathers down into the basement for storage since he has recently passed away. It’s contents spill out when dropped and a peculiar looking book catches their attention. Brian explains that their grandpa was a Satanist and the book was supposed to be made of human skin. Both boys get a little spooked and head upstairs.
Jeff’s friends come over to hang out and his one friend Tank is stuck bringing his little brother Charlie. Jeff showed them the book and everyone was getting freaked out looking at the opened pages of this devils inspiration. Smart ass Mac and Jeff are having fun taunting poor Charlie and scaring the shit out of him. Wallander shows up and the real fun begins after he spills his drink on the book. When Tank and Charlie decide to leave an unseen demonic force comes sweeping up the driveway slowly turning off each light one by one. Sensing their impending doom they slam the door shut thinking it’s gone. Seeing their petrified faces as they watched the dimming of the lights is classic, they are so scared they can barely breath.
Soon after you hear the horrifying screams of Wallander in the basement confirming that something was indeed there and it made you wonder if they would they make it out of there before it get’s them too? It was great watching a movie and not seeing the source of your terror, just having your ears guide you to thoughts of what it could be? What does it look like? Listen closely when the boys are getting ready to leave and you can hear the faint whispers offering a hint of what’s to come! I honestly can not imagine ANYONE not liking this film.
