In Ireland’s bleak rural South, troubled teenage sharpshooter Cleo Callahan strives to avenge the death of her estranged sister after she is found brutally stabbed in a public bathroom. Blinded by rage and shame, Cleo is unaware that her best and only friend, Robin O’Riley, is the murderer she’s sworn to kill. As Robin’s damaged brother Virgil also draws closer to the truth, the three become tragically entangled, leading to an inevitable bloody showdown that costs them all severely. A crime genre film with art house sensibilities, DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN takes the form of a classical tragedy emboldened with the visual overtones of a western, exploring the limits of revenge, family and friendship. Showcasing a unique, eerie take on the traditionally beautiful scenery of Southern Ireland and boasting an original, daring iteration of the well-trodden Western genre, DARKNESS is one of the most exciting and unique new films to emerge from Ireland’s burgeoning independent film scene.
