About This Movie

Going Dark takes a rather haunting dive into the world of teenage drama and manipulation. The atmosphere is thick with tension, as this dark tale unfolds in the quiet halls of a school, revealing a layered relationship between a student and her teacher. There's a rawness to Mel's desperation that really pulls you in; the pacing balances between slow-build suspense and urgent moments of clarity. It’s interesting how the film explores themes of power dynamics and friendship, all while keeping a grounded realism. The performances, particularly from the leads, carry an emotional weight that feels genuine. Not to mention, the practical effects used in a few key scenes add an unexpected and chilling element that sticks with you. It’s got a unique vibe, for sure.

Going Dark is still relatively fresh in the collector scene, with few physical releases available, mostly limited to indie distributors. Its unique blend of drama and psychological tension has caught the attention of niche audiences. As it stands, early editions may become more sought after as the film garners a cult following over time, making it an interesting piece for future collectors.
