When the Darkness Comes

About This Movie

When the Darkness Comes is a rather intriguing indie horror flick from Malik Kleist. Set against the stark, haunting backdrop of Greenland, it delves into the lives of two young friends, Minik and Hans. They’re grappling with early adulthood and the ennui that comes with it, which adds a relatable layer to the story. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the pacing draws you into their world gradually before things start to unravel. The practical effects are commendable, adding a tangible sense of horror that feels more visceral than digital. It’s those quiet moments, punctuated by eerie suspense, that really set this apart from typical ghost stories. Performances are genuine, capturing both the camaraderie and tension of youth in a setting steeped in local legend.
