True to its title, this is a film that works all the better the longer it keeps us in the dark.

Dušan Milić’s harrowing feature, Darkling is set in post-war Kosovo when pogroms against the Serb population were at an extreme...This gripping film builds to an intense final reel but would have had more power if it had ended just a few minutes early.

Despite its less-than-stellar final act, Milić has crafted an atmospheric film that will stay with audiences and leave a haunting impression.
