Continuing the twistedly vicious adventure of Lucky McKee’s cult hit The Woman, Darlin’ sees Pollyanna McIntosh (The Walking Dead) emerge as a stand-out star both in front of and behind the camera in a stunning writing-directing debut.
Found at a Catholic hospital filthy and ferocious, feral teenager Darlin’ (Lauryn Canny, Limbo) is whisked off to a care home run by The Bishop (Bryan Batt, Mad Men) and his obedient nuns where she is to be tamed into a “good girl.” However, Darlin’ holds a secret darker than the “sins” she is threatened with, and she is not traveling alone. The Woman (McIntosh), equally fierce and feral, who raised her is ever-present and is determined to come for her no matter who tries to stand in her way.
During our interview with McIntosh, she went in-depth about her role as the Woman, what the films mean, and how excited she is to share her film with the world.
I’m so grateful to have been able to make this film with the people I made it with. I’m just excited for people to be able to see it, especially for Lauren. ”
Darlin’, which scored a 5/5 in our review, arrives on Blu-ray and DVD on September 3, 2019, from Dark Sky Films.
