A group of Spaniards is looking for a dose of excitement and sensation on the tropical island where they are holidaying. Just like modern Robinsons, they are looking for the hidden paradise beyond the well-trodden paths of tourism. It won’t be a surprise that all of this can only end up unhappily.
On the second day of their holiday, the group innocently decides to leave the sunny beach for a hidden, dark cave. They have a camera, a torch and some water with them but they’re not prepared for the unexpected turn that their excursion takes.
A variation on the found-footage genre, in which a very realistic scenario is sketched with minimal means and well-developed characters. These are normal people in extreme conditions who have to appeal to their primaeval instincts to survive. In Darkness We Fall is an effective horror thriller that fits in well with the recent Spanish tradition of horror films such as REC.
