Craig Pryce, a graduate of the York University film program, made his mark directing The Dark in 1993. This horror film stands out not just for its macabre elements, but for its unique blend of camp and tension that resonates within cult circles. With a career that includes significant television work, Pryce's approach in The Dark reveals his understanding of narrative pacing and atmospheric tension, influencing the aesthetics of grinding genre films and placing him firmly within the realm of exploitation cinema.
The Dark
Something is alive beneath the surface of the graveyard. Something with the power to destroy and the power to heal. One man, a cop, is determined to kill this mysterious creature. Another, a scientist, is determined to capture and save this miraculous being. Stalking the creature in it's subterranean habitat, neither man is aware of the battle they are about to start. A battle for science, survival and revenge.
