Descent Into Darkness
Sorgoï Prakov
A journalist from an Eastern European country arrives in Paris to start a tour of European capitals. His intention is to make a documentary about the European dream. Between fascination and difficulty of adaptation, Sorgoï struggles to complete his project and his expedition drives him to a devastating state of madness.
Why it matters
A psychological descent into alienation and madness framed through a European urban nightmare.
- Blends slow-burn psychological horror with social commentary on displacement and cultural dislocation.
- Anchored by a quietly intense lead performance that channels existential dread over supernatural scares.
- For fans of atmospheric, character-driven horror like Panos Cosmatos’ or early Gaspar Noé’s unsettling cityscapes.
- Less about jump scares, more about creeping claustrophobia and the fracturing mind in an indifferent metropolis.
