WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

The Taylor family returns from a trip to the Grand Canyon – only to soon discover that they may have brought back with them a supernatural force that’s out to destroy them…

The Darkness may be yet another Blumhouse film that shows how messing with supernatural forces is a very, very bad idea, but the scares should come easy and quick all the same.
