Sophia (Catherine Walker) is grief-stricken and overwhelmed with sadness since the untimely death of her child. In a desperate attempt to achieve some form of closure, she reaches out to Solomon (Steve Oram), an occultist with experience in an ancient invocation ritual that Sophia believes will allow her to make contact with her deceased child. Locked away in a remote country house, the pair undergo a long and arduous ritual, risking both their mental and physical safety as they attempt to access a world beyond their understanding.

Strange Film - A Dark Song review by nm
The sound quality is good and it is one of those dark slow menacing films. I thought I would not enjoy it but I got interested and enjoyed it. Although at the end I was left thinking what actually happened. It's different to the slash and gore fests and has an interesting storyline. The characters are odd balls and the film keeps you guessing as to where it is actually going. Worth a watch.

Strange film - but worth a watch - A Dark Song review by CD
The interaction between the main character and the occultist is interesting and keeps the film moving, The director has the usual problem of how to progress an occult type film without bringing in standard horror fare. I was ok with how it resolved itself but if you are looking for a lot of scary moments then this is probably not for you, but if you like a slightly more offbeat slow and tense film, you may like it.

Highly enjoyable two-hander horror. - A Dark Song review by NP
Very slow-moving horror that plays its cards very close to its chest, heightened by some fine acting. Basically, a two-piece featuring the fractious relationship between posh Sophia (Catherine Walker) and coarse Joseph Solomon (Steve Oram); these two sharply written (writer Liam Gavin, who also directs, is clearly a name to look out for), beautifully played characters carry most of the film.
Maybe we have to wait a little too long for things to start happening, but we won’t get as frustrated about it as Sophia, who gets very angry indeed. This is a good, claustrophobic chiller rather than a fully-fledged horror a lot of the time, although the events toward the end take on a much more gruesome nature. I thoroughly enjoyed this. My score is 8 out of 10.
