Between the Darkness

About This Movie

So, 'Between the Darkness' is an interesting piece from 2019. It dives into the mind of a thirteen-year-old girl, Sprout Grady, who's convinced there's something lurking in the woods. The tone is pretty dark and eerie, playing well into that childhood fear of monsters. The pacing keeps you on edge, as Sprout's quest to confront this supposed monster unfurls. What’s striking here are the practical effects; they have a raw quality that really enhances the horror. The performances, particularly from the young lead, carry a weight that feels genuine. It’s not just about scares but also touches on themes of childhood innocence and the hidden horrors of reality. A solid entry in the indie horror scene, definitely has its own vibe.
