Dark Touch
What does evil look like?
Directed by Marina de Van
Produced by Element Pictures, Eurimages
A dark, surreal horror film centered on a traumatized child survivor whose violent past bleeds into her present, isolating her from those trying to help.
Niamh is the lone survivor of a mysterious massacre in which the furniture and objects in her family’s isolated house took on a monstrous life of their own. The police ignore her wild stories, and the neighbours and social worker who take her into their care try to introduce her to a new life. But Niamh is unable to leave her violent past behind her, endangering everyone who crosses her path.
