Each General Admission Ticket or Festival Pass purchased is good for both the virtual and the in-person when both are offered!
When a couple's phones begin recording on their own during a camping trip, what they capture isn't just darkness. It's something that wants to be seen. Don’t Look In The Dark was made with one goal: to create a theatrical experience like no other.
This is not just a film. It is an event. The darkness is not filler; it is the canvas. Half the movie unfolds in pitch black, but hidden within that blackness, depending on your screen, your projector, your lighting, and your eyes, are fleeting, haunting images and moments that can completely shift the meaning of what you have seen.
Every audience sees something different. Every theater reveals something new. No two viewings feel exactly the same. It is meant to unsettle you, confuse you, draw you in, and then leave you wondering if you missed something, because maybe you did.
