Conor McMahon’s last film Stitches developed somewhat of a cult following over the past two years. Fans of the killer clown film rejoice, for Screen Daily is reporting that his latest film, The Dark, has finished shooting in Laois, Ireland.
The story centers on a young couple on a road trip through the Irish countryside who encounter an ancient force of evil.
This one sounds more like a folk horror joint rather than the over-the-top slasher silliness of Stitches. If that’s true, I’m really excited to see McMahon does with in that realm.
The Dark will be released by MPI/Dark Sky Films, who have been killing it lately with films like Here Comes the Devil and Late Phases. The film stars Niamh Algar (pictured above), Stephen Cromwell, and Gerry O’Brien.
