Dark Corner
A robber's life gets tormented when he unknowingly makes a wrong decision.
In this age of unblinking gore and fabulous FX, it’s important to remember sometimes the greatest horror builds not on what you SEE…
But what you don’t.
That’s the devious thing about human imagination – leave it to the audience to wonder what went “bump in the night”, and their minds are sure to conjure the absolute worst thing possible… FOR THEM. That psychological effect is cinematic gold; conjuring chills no 3D software can buy.
Such is the personalized horror Yuvraj Rajwanshi’s Dark Corner hinges on.
Meet Dave (40s) – a down and out burglar who’s got his eyes set on an easy prize – whatever’s in the house of suburbanites Pamela and Samuel. A neglected abode on a quiet street, the couple sure don’t look like “high tech security” consumers. Both frail and in their 60s, there’s no chance they’ll put up a fight.
For Dave, it’s a win-win job. At least, that’s what he hopes.
Picking the lock, Dave creeps in. He hasn’t brought a gun, but he’s got a heavy wrench: one or two hits to the head should be enough to knock Pam and Sam out… perhaps for good.
But Dave’s about to find out he’s picked the wrong house.
No, this isn’t going the way you expect. Call it karma or just real bad luck, but the vicious twist which follows leaves plenty to the imagination… hinting at an evil Burglar Dave will find he can’t escape.
Directors, take note: a deliciously budget friendly (but nightmare inducing) horror, Dark Corners requires just one house and three characters for the shoot. Though after production’s done, you might just want to leave the lights on for awhile!
