DARK LIGHT

Cinemavixion Review

Damian Chapa directs and stars in "Dark Light," a 2021 thriller that plunges into the occult mysteries of Ireland. Chapa portrays Sonny Pietra, an eccentric Interpol detective with a past in Los Angeles' occult crime unit, who finds himself investigating a series of brutal murders on the Emerald Isle. The narrative quickly focuses on Jeanie Del Rey (Estefania Villaespesa), a disturbed young woman institutionalized for the crimes, yet Pietra suspects a deeper conspiracy. As Pietra delves further, he uncovers evidence of a cabal of witches engaging in ancient, human-sacrificing rituals, with Jeanie as their intended victim. The film escalates into a supernatural battle, with Pietra, aided by a hospital orderly (Luke O'Brien Chapa) and a mysterious young boy (Gabriel O'Brien Chapa), confronting the satanic coven. "Dark Light" blends crime investigation with supernatural horror, offering a dark descent into witchcraft and sacrifice, suggesting Pietra's journey transcends mere detective work into a higher calling.
