From Black is an occult drama about a recovering addict agreeing to take part in a ritual to resurrect her dead son.
It's premise is almost identical to the film A Dark Song bar one very significant difference, which I won't mention as its a massive spoiler.
Overall it's a pretty solid movie, the main highlight by far is its use of practical effects. There is a demon in this movie that is very reminiscent of the creature effects in Pan's Labyrinth. I's voice is booming and menacing and it has a real gravitas to it when it's on screen. It's the main thing that elevates what could been seen as a rather generic horror film. The acting from the main cast is pretty good and the story while predictable is always engaging.
I can definitely recommend this one, while it's not as good as a Dark Song it certainly has its moments.
