Filmed in a "found video and mock-documentary" style, Darkest Night depicts a family holiday reunion at an isolated home in the Philippine Sagada Mountains. The family's happy time is shattered by bizarre, supernatural and tragic horrors no one can explain. Their house is cut off from civilization and plunged into darkness by forces that shut down much of modern technology. Strange events rapidly spread fear and panic. The area becomes totally isolated. Then, one by one, the family members die or disappear in weird and terrifying ways, defying natural laws. The few who are left, including the main characters, young Susan and her fiancé Ken, struggle for survival amid family conflicts and dark terrors. They must find out what is happening to them so they can escape this deadly trap. Shocked, they finally they discover who their true tormentor is, as well as how and why these terrible things are happening. Is it too late to keep the rest of them from dying? Is the fate that awaits them even worse than death or hell? A mystical book they find seems to hold the key to controlling unseen dark forces that threaten to unleash ghosts from an evil past. In the end, survival depends on Susan and Ken. Can they trust each other, or even themselves, to contain the fears that threaten to destroy them? Suspense and mystery keep you unsettled and guessing till the very end, when they uncover and confront their real enemy. This film is a psychological horror story with intense family drama, suspense, action and terror. It contains a minimum of gore, violence or graphic special effects. There are no cliché or oft-used thrill gimmicks. The viewer is led step by step into a dark, demonic world of sinister and fantastical events, where the familiar meets the supernatural, and your most cherished loved one could be your mortal enemy. On the surface, Darkest Night is an entertaining and truly scary thriller, in the best traditions of Asian and American horror films. However, for those who want to probe deeper, the story has multiple layers of dramatic family conflicts, character motivation and thematic depth. The film also provides insightful commentary on modern society and technology, as well as how their elements have a corrupting influence on family relationships. Darkest Night reveals the darkest side of family "togetherness." Even the most outwardly happy of modern families can hide painful and twisted emotions. The sins of one good-intentioned relative can damn and destroy an entire family.
