A Dark Song was an oppressive pressure cooker of a film. Sophia lost her son and needs to ask an angel for a favor. She hires a guy and they lock themselves in a countryside retreat for some heavy duty, dark-ass ritual stuff. Things take forever before taking an ugly turn. Just when you think it's over, the movie hits paydirt, but you may have fallen asleep by then. Otherwise it's a slow walk into madness.
My wife was bored to tears by the film, but I thought it was atmospheric and increasingly menacing. Liam Gavin is definitely a filmmaker to keep an eye on. 8 freaky circles summoning demons or what have you out of 10.
