We were among the lucky few to catch the very first screenings of Darren ‘s Black Swan back in September. Described as a psychological thriller with “ghosts”, I expected it to be more of a horror movie than it was. With that said, it’s a pretty intense movie that’s both unsettling and skin crawling — but in the end it’s hard to call it “horror”. Still, it’s a sublime movie that deserves the recognition, therefore I’m sharing with you Yahoo’s latest clip that features star Natalie Portman showing off her “dark side”. In theaters Friday, Swan centers on a veteran ballerina (Portman) who finds herself locked in a competitive situation with a rival dancer, with the stakes and twists increasing as the dancers approach a big performance. But it’s unclear whether the rival is a supernatural apparition or if the protagonist is simply having delusions.
