Product Description

Depicting the takeover of a small town by an army of vampires, Darkness was partially financed by its makers selling their blood at the local plasma bank. Since it was so micro-budgeted, Leif Jonker was uncertain his grassroots horror movie would ever be seen publicly, hoping at the very least to produce the film equivalent of a good garage band’s "demo tape" to display his potential as a director. Instead, the gore-drenched film went on to become one of the premiere titles in the underground horror wave of the early 90s, gaining a worldwide cult fan base through multiple video releases (all of which were culled from inferior source materials created by recording the projected image off a homemade screen) and screenings at the Fantafestival in Italy, Night of the Bloody Tapes in Germany, and as a "Centerpiece Selection" at the Nevermore Film Fest in the United States. Now, Barrel is proud to present this underground classic with its first ever professional film-to-video transfer struck directly from the original camera elements, featuring digitally restored picture and sound in a new, never before seen edit – Darkness: The Vampire Version, the official, definitive, director’s cut!
