🎥 OVERVIEW & ATMOSPHERE

The Dark is a haunting Austrian/English-language genre hybrid, blending supernatural horror with emotionally rich drama. It follows a young, undead girl named Mina (Nadia Alexander) and a blind boy named Alex (Toby Nichols), who form an unlikely bond in isolated woods. Their connection becomes a touching exploration of trauma, healing, and humanity under threat from violent outsiders.

The film is known for its moody atmosphere, stark natural settings, and emotional storytelling—think Let the Right One In, but with its own melancholic spirit.

🧟‍♀️ PLOT SUMMARY (WITH SPOILER-FREE TONE)

Mina, who died under tragic circumstances and now exists between life and death, roams the forest in secrecy. She befriends Alex, a blind and bullied boy who cannot see her curse, and the two form a fragile friendship.

Mina’s presence protects Alex from bullies, but slowly reveals her violent nature—it’s a harrowing transformation as she begins to confront her own fading humanity. Alex’s kindness offers her a chance at redemption, even as danger encroaches from hunters and fear.

By the end, The Dark is as much about the emotional resonance between two broken souls as it is about supernatural suspense.
