Synopsis:
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 and was originally put to video by taping the
projected image off a homemade screen with a camcorder. It was so micro-budgeted, Leif Jonker
initially intended only to produce the movie equivalent of a garage band "demo tape" to display his
potential as a director. Instead, the gore-drenched film went on to become a premiere title in the
underground horror wave of the early 90s, gained a worldwide cult fan base through multiple VHS &
DVD releases (ALL sourced from that first inferior transfer) and was screened 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!
