Dark Places
Whether you loved or hated author Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl,” you’ve got to admit, she sure knows how to write a tantalizing, gripping, gut-punching tale. Now, another Flynn adaptation is ready to burrow its way into your mind. A distinctly Midwestern murder mystery starring Charlize Theron and Nicolas Hoult, “Dark Places” opens with a massacre on a farm that was blamed on a Satanic cult. 25 years later, the little girl who was the lone survivor of that tragedy has grown up haunted by questions about what really happened. So when the local true crime-loving “Kill Club” comes calling with an offer she can’t afford to refuse, she returns to the case, hoping to figure out once and for all whether or not her brother was involved. A stylish crime thriller with the atmospheric intensity of “True Detective” and the twisted daring of “The Silence of the Lambs,” “Dark Places” will keep you gasping and guessing.
