As you gather from the image above, this isn’t a review of the Sam Riami superhero film from the 90s.
Instead, our titular darkman can only be seen in certain types of light, and thus has been marginalised from the society they roam through.
This short feels a bit more experimental, with director Christian Zakharchuk toying with the low-fi style that made something Skinamarink such a talking point in 2023.
When the darkman meets a pair of twin sisters he given the opportunity to connect for the first time.
Admittedly, like the aforementioned feature, Darkman won’t be for everyone, and will garner as much praise and disdain.
Kudos to Zakharchuk for thinking outside the box.
Darkman screens as part of Giallo Film Festival 2024.
