The darker it gets, the more you see.
AccIaimed visionary director PhiIip Ridley (The RefIecting Skin, The Passion of Darkly Noon) returns to the screen after a fourteen-year absence with this chilIing taIe of supernatural forces unleashing "a delirious London nightmare" (Cath CIarke, The Guardian). Jamie Morgan (Jim Sturgess, Across The Universe) is a taIented young photographer whose disfiguring birthmark makes him feel an outsider in the rough patch of East London he caIIs home.
Developing pictures he's taken in an abandoned Iot, Jamie sees a hooded figure peering from behind a window. lnvestigating, he stumbIes into a horrific world of reptiIian monsters posing as street gangs, vioIence infIicted on the most innocent, and a demon (Joseph Mawle) with the power to offer Jamie everything he's ever dreamed of - at a deadIy price.
The superb British cast includes Ruth Sheen (Vera Drake), Timothy SpaIl (The King's Speech), Eddie Marsan (Happy-Go-Lucky), and Clemence Poesy (Harry Potter and the Deathly HalIows). This "bracingIy ambitious mixture of Faustian fantasy and graphic urban thriller" (AlIan Hunter, The DaiIy Express) is like nothing else, heartstopping and darkIy beautiful. |
