AGENCY OF VENGEANCE: DARK RISING

Cinemavixion Review

Andrew Cymek's "Agency of Vengeance: Dark Rising" plunges viewers into a supernatural conflict that bridges dimensions. Released in 2011, the film stars Brigitte Kingsley as Summer Vale, a warrior princess thrust back into battle when an ancient evil, the Demon-god Mardock, threatens Earth. The narrative picks up two years after a previous encounter, with a surge of demonic activity signaling a new, catastrophic threat. The plot, penned by Cymek himself, escalates dramatically when a demon attack disrupts Summer's wedding, leading to a desperate quest to defeat Mardock. The film boasts a cast including Landy Cannon as Jason Parks and the formidable Michael Ironside as Colonel Haggerd, head of the covert Rising Dark Agency. While the film garnered a single nomination, its IMDb rating of 3.0 suggests a mixed reception among audiences. Nevertheless, "Dark Rising" offers a blend of action and science fiction, exploring themes of interdimensional warfare and the resilience of its protagonists against overwhelming odds.
