Isle of Darkness

About This Movie

Isle of Darkness is this eerie 1997 flick that draws you into a claustrophobic atmosphere.

There’s a creeping dread that builds throughout, and the practical effects—while not groundbreaking—add a tangible quality to the horror elements. The performances, especially from the locals, feel authentic and unsettling, which is key to the film's unsettling vibe.
