The Dark Thriller ‘Silence & Darkness’ Is Now On Digital And VOD

Writer-director Barak Barkan makes his feature film debut with the thriller Silence & Darkness, out now on VOD and Digital. “After the death of their mother, blind and deaf sisters Anna (Mina Walker) and Beth (Joan Glackin) live happily in a secluded small town with their father (Jordan Lage). However, when a neighbor stops by, Anna and Beth begin to question Father’s medical diagnoses and start to realize his intentions are more sinister than they could have imagined.” Shot in the haunting landscapes of Vermont, Silence & Darkness carefully crafts a harrowing, and eerie portrait of two sisters forced to use every skill they have to uncover the truth about their family. I sought to create tension between the viewer and the film, both through Anna and Beth’s interactions and Father’s backstory,” Barkan states. “My goal is that while viewing the film, the audience will inhabit a constant state of curious unease—desperate to find out what led to the circumstances

Michael Rises From The Flames In New ‘Halloween Kills’ Image

In the new image from Halloween Kills, Michael Myers escapes the inferno that Laurie lit in the final moments of Halloween. Shared by Empire, the image reminds us just how much of a badass Micheal still is and why he is still one of the biggest horror icons ever.
