Coming Home In The Dark – Official Movie Trailer (2021)
Coming Home in the Dark (2021) is a psychological thriller and horror film directed by James Ashcroft, based on a short story by Owen Marshall. The movie stars Daniel Gillies, Erik Thomson, and Miriama McDowell. The plot revolves around a seemingly peaceful family road trip that takes a terrifying turn when they are confronted by two mysterious drifters, Mandrake (played by Gillies) and Tubs (Matthias Luafutu).
The family is taken hostage by the violent pair, leading to a tense and horrific journey where dark secrets from the past come to light. The film explores themes of trauma, guilt, and revenge, as the captors force the family to confront their own roles in a horrific event from the past.
Coming Home in the Dark is praised for its intense atmosphere, powerful performances, and its ability to keep viewers on edge with a mix of psychological tension and brutal violence. Daniel Gillies, in particular, delivers a chilling performance as Mandrake, the sadistic and unpredictable villain. The film delves into the darker aspects of human nature and is as much about emotional torment as it is about physical horror.
It received positive reviews for its raw intensity and ability to unsettle audiences, making it a standout in the thriller genre. However, due to its graphic violence and emotionally heavy subject matter, it may not be for everyone, but for fans of dark, thought-provoking thrillers, it’s a compelling watch.
