Spark in the Dark

About This Movie

Spark in the Dark is really something else. It’s this intense drama that digs deep into the emotional aftermath of trauma. The pacing feels almost like a slow burn, you know? It lets you sit with the characters' pain, especially the wife, and you can feel that tension thick in the air. The performances, while not from big names, have this raw authenticity that pulls you in. It’s not flashy—no over-the-top effects or anything—but the way it deals with the aftermath of violence in personal relationships is striking. The atmosphere is heavy, and the film doesn’t shy away from the darkness, which makes it distinctive for the early '90s. It’s not an easy watch, but that's what sets it apart from more conventional dramas.
