The Dark

• Horror
• Drama
• Fantasy

In the desolate expanse of a remote forest, a decades-old tragedy unfolds anew as Mina, a flesh-eating undead girl bound to the site of her murder, encounters Alex, a boy escaping brutal abuse. This isn't a typical horror; their unlikely connection sparks a haunting exploration of lost humanity and the corrupting influence of trauma. Mina’s solitary, violent existence is fractured by the unexpected responsibility for Alex’s survival, compelling her to confront fragmented memories and question the extent of her remaining self. The film delicately balances gruesome imagery with moments of tender, unsettling empathy, crafting a deeply melancholic atmosphere where the line between monster and victim blurs. It’s a disturbing yet strangely compassionate meditation on cyclical violence, survival, and the possibility of finding connection in the darkest corners of existence – an exploration that continually subverts expectations within the zombie subgenre.
