Strange Similarities Emerging from Stealth Media Group's Horror Film The Darkness

Early horrifying details are developing on Stealth Media Group's The Darkness. This is a science fiction and horror-disaster film, which envisions the lights going off and people going missing. The synopsis sounds strangely similar to 2010's Vanishing on 7th Street, which also involves supernatural elements and people disappearing into the dark abyss. Similar or not, this latest production has a stellar cast, with Michael Biehn (The Terminator), Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween II) and Christopher Eccleston participating.

Completion on The Darkness is expected in 2012. Now, the first poster for the film is left, while the caption warns you: "there's only one rule - stay in the light" (Media). Also, have a look at the recent synopsis, which is coincidentally almost the exact plotline of the aforementioned Vanishing on 7th Street.

Tagline: "Theres only one rule: Stay in the light."

The synopsis for The Darkness is here:

"When the world is plunged into darkness, Greg Stonehaven has to somehow get to his children 200 miles away. All forms of communication have stopped working -- no cell phones, no internet, no television. To make matters worse, the electrical grid struggles with unprecedented demand and soon completely fails. The populace become confused and frightened, as their sources of artificial light gradually dim and die out. People then begin going missing wherever darkness falls, and survivors realize they must do whatever they can to stay in the light" (Stealth).

Completion Date: Q1 2012.

Director/writer: Simon Foster.

Cast: Christopher Eccleston, Scout Taylor-Compton, Shawn Roberts, and Michael Biehn.

*no trailer available as the film moves into production this July (2011).
