A Dark Song

A Dark Song is a 2016 independent Irish horror film. The main character is a grieving mother seeking occult aid as she deals with her loss. I watched it free but can't find it free online now. It's worth looking for.  It costs about $3 to rent where I see rentals available: Amazon Prime, Vudu, Youtube,

trailer:



The New York Times calls it "moodily intense" and "a striking marriage of acting and atmosphere". GQ calls it "One of the best horror movies that you haven't Seen". IndieWire says, "Minimal volume yields maximum results in this horror movie for people who don't usually like horror movies."

Rotten Tomatoes has a critics consensus of 92%.

  1. No horror today. Today is Boston Red Sox Baseball Season Opening Day. We plan on watching the old classic, Angels in the Outfield with Paul Douglas and Janet Leigh

    1. It suited me even given the subject matter, but it's not for everybody.

    1. I liked the zero I paid ;) There are too many movies out there for free or that are included in Amazon Prime and Netflix for me to pay to watch one.

    1. When 92% of critics give it a positive score that's impressive :)

  7. It sounds to me that no one was up to watching this one. I am not into the dark horror, either. I need light, fun, a mindless cozy mystery where I don't have to think too much.
