Dark (2015)

Dark (2015), a crowd-funded film by Nick Basile, is all about the August day in 2003 that New York City went dark for an entire night in what would become known as "The Northeast Blackout of 2003." In this fictional recount of those opaque hours, a woman named Kate (Whitney Able) is left alone in her girlfriend Leah's (Alexa Breckenridge) apartment while she's out of town on a photography trip. Kate, a beautiful blonde ex-model and yoga teacher, has had a tumultuous past and suffers from depression among other things, meaning the utter blackness of her building and isolation trapped in an unlit apartment puts her in full-on paranoia. Convinced someone is stalking her, Kate begins an all-night struggle to survive both her building and her own intrusive thoughts. But is there actually someone after her, or is Kate just terrifying herself due to being plunged into near total darkness? The worst part of any TV show is when someone takes off their clothes, and the censors black out all the good parts. Luckily, this movie has none of that! Kate's life isn't all bleak before the blackout, since she's got a banging girlfriend she likes to bang! We're treated a to a sultry, Sapphic sex scene between her and her girlfriend before the lights go out. The fun begins when Alexandra mounts a very topless Whitney in bed, showing off her Breckenridges while the two roll around in the sheets. The electricity between those two could power an entire block! We see Whitney's pleasure pillows again when she goes for a float in the tub. Truly, that yoga instructor would have Mr. Skin slinging yogurt halfway into ever class! Eunice Ahn also makes a cameo as a lingerie-clad model, adding to the festivities. The night may be dark, but your evening looks pretty bright. You'll be powerless trying to keep from touching yourself while watching Dark!
