Darkroom
Michelle kills three of her friends in a horrific car accident while driving under the influence. After rehab, Michelle takes a job recommended by her counselor that lands her trapped in a mansion with three psychotic siblings hell bent on physical torture to purge Michelle of her sins.
Why it matters
A grim plunge into guilt and punishment that blends the claustrophobic intensity of torture horror with a moral reckoning.
- Relentless practical effects deliver brutal, visceral torment without glancing away.
- Michelle’s spiral from reckless to haunted anchors the film’s grim emotional core.
- Fans of ’70s and ’80s home-invasion and torture flicks will find familiar, if unsettling, territory here.
- Not for the faint—this is a punishing slow-burn that wears its bleakness as a badge of honor.
