Darkness Falls

In the small town of Darkness Falls, a legend has haunted the residents for over 150 years. It tells the story of Matilda Dixon, a kind old woman who was wrongly accused and lynched by an angry mob for a heinous crime she did not commit. Her ghost is said to roam the streets at night, seeking revenge on anyone who crosses her path. Kyle Walsh, a young man who witnessed the ghost as a child, has fled the town and avoided the darkness ever since. But when his childhood sweetheart, Caitlin, asks for his help, Kyle must face his fears and confront the vengeful spirit.
