| Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersDarkness Visible is disjointed and drags out for far too long, but it features some effectively creepy visuals. |
| User Reviewerikchristian“Darkness Visible” is a thrilling story in a mysterious setting of Kolkata, India. The main character (Ronnie) leaves London for Kolkata where he finds out his mother had been hit by a car and sent to the hospital. While visiting his mother in the hospital, he steps out for a moment, and when he returns, he finds the hospital bed empty and the window wide open. He looks out the window and finds a woman in a purple robe and an ominous symbol written in his mother’s own blood. More murders emerge in the area, and all have the same symbol with different numbers, tensions rise as police attempt to diminish the findings. Ronnie's own inner-darkness comes to light as all roads lead to the feared witch of Kolkata's insane asylum. This movie combines some of the best aspects from the horror and mystery genres and doesn’t rely on jump scares for engagement, rather uses suspenseful conflict and ominous tension to keep the audience on edge. I really enjoyed watching this movie and recommend it to anyone who likes a good thriller. |
| User ReviewelliecaplanDarkness Visible is a uniquely directed thriller with a captivating action-filled plot. The film’s story line is about a young man named Ronnie who lives in London with his mother Suleka. Ronnie’s family descent resides in India but because of his mother, he has never had the chance to meet any of them. However, on Ronnie’s 28th birthday, mysterious and strange occurrences begin to happen to him, turning his normal life upside down. His mother is randomly hospitalized in India and Ronnie must travel there to see what is going on. Once arriving in India, even more bizarre situations start to happen which all seem to derive from supernatural demonic spirits. Ronnie tries to figure out what is going on before he succumbs to the treacherous spirits himself. Darkness Visible is an action-packed thriller with a seemingly realistic plot line that I thoroughly enjoyed. |
| User ReviewnicolevaughnThe foreign, exotic myths and location of India in Darkness Visible really captivated my attention. Unfamiliar with the culture, this film sparked an interest for me, and grasped my attention throughout its entire duration. Biswas (the director) did an incredible job of bringing an Indian myth to light, while still incorporating an eerie, creepy feel, and gripping the viewers’ concentration. I highly suggest you see this film, as it had me asking questions until the very end. |
| User Reviewjordanthomas13The murder mystery aspect of Darkness Visible is paired with supernatural elements in a wildly satisfying way. I love supernatural horror and I thought this movie was really compelling with its unique look on the Indian paranormal. There was a lot of interesting Indian mythology and culture rooted in the film that brought on an immensely fantastic ending that had me shell-shocked. India as a backdrop to the horrific and puzzling string of murders was absolutely captivating. It get especially more interesting when you start to realize that the main character Ronnie personally plays a role in all the mythology that he doesn’t realize or intend. Intense, engrossing, creepy- I definitely recommend this movie to any fans of horror or suspense. |
| User ReviewSmithRebeccaI can’t get over how intense this film was! To me, the atmosphere is everything, and DARKNESS VISIBLE had a super creepy setting. Most of the film took place in East India, which was not only spooky but also felt pretty unique. Another aspect of horror movies that are really important to me is the special effects, so I loved how incredible the effects were, and how they allowed the goriness of the film to appear extremely realistic. |
| User Reviewcecilecoop5I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this film since I watched it the other day. The film follows Ronnie as he investigates a string horrific murders that begin with his own mother’s death. “Darkness Visible” demands attention and creates a story that dives deep into the human psyche when confronted with the supernatural unknown and unleashes the darkness of the mind. The film creates a suspenseful thrill that has you reeling to understand why the satanic murders are happening and who is causing them. If you are like me, then you will be sitting at the edge of your seat until the very end. |
| User ReviewmadiiBringing new life and ideas into the horror genre, Darkness Visible brings the world of Indian paranormal beliefs to the big screen. Director Neil Biswas crafted a suspenseful murder mystery horror film that is truly something unique from all other horror films I had seen before. Jaz Deol gives an outstanding performance as Ronnie, a Londoner brought to India after his mother is hospitalized. For something different than the typical scary movie, I definitely suggest giving this a try. |
| User Reviewalexaustin726“Darkness Visible” is a creepy and spiritually frightening thriller by Neil Biswas. Watching Ronnie unravel the strangely similar murders is exciting and kept me on the edge of my seat. Jaz Deol gives an outstanding performance. Overall, very well executed film. Highly recommend. |
| User ReviewrachelkImagine living your whole life not knowing your true identity, or the history of your family, and then traveling thousands of miles away from home to meet family for the first time only to unfold secrets that will ultimately destroy your whole family line. That’s exactly what happens to Ronnie, main character played by Jaz Deol, when he travels to India, to initially be with his mother after an accident, but what leads him to unfold the dark and twisted secrets of her past life in witchcraft and spiritual matters. This movie threw me through many loops and turns, but giving me an ending that shook me to the core, and was unexpected to say the least. Highly recommend anyone looking for a horror mixed thriller to watch this movie. |
