    Dark Places (1973) Don Sharp (director) Next up, the next selection from the Eurocrypt of Christopher Lee collection 2. This one looks like an 'old dark house' type of movie. First-time viewing. 📽 #FridayNightHorror #HorrorMovies #Horrorsky #SeverinFilms

    But then opportunity knocked and suddenly I'm writing for the franchise that inspired the game in the first place - ALIEN. I was writing for my favourite movie in my favourite hobby so I felt I'd peaked. How could it get better than this? And Those Dark Places drifted away from me.

    This reminds me of Gillian Flynn’s “Dark Places” (my favorite of her three novels though the film version was by far the worst), when a woman had to hire someone to kill her so that her kids could survive with her life insurance but without any parents.

    #23: Dark Places (2015 film) jesus christ this was bad 😂 not even really enjoyable bad, just bad they destroyed the pacing and character development the book had, and everything felt too low stakes for a story about a literal murder ??? i should just read the book again… #mediathread2026

    Christopher Lee double-bill tonight. The Wicker Man - Final Cut, looking splendid in 4K, and a film I’ve never seen, Dark Places (1973) with Joan Collins, Herbert Lom and a rather terrific Robert Hardy. Directed by Don Sharp. Slightly plodding psychological thriller with supernatural overtones.

    I thought the book was extremely well written but my favorite book by Gillian Flynn was Dark Places. She's a talented story teller even though the message may be problematic. I also think the movie did the most social harm rather than from people who actually read the book.

    ... as my ALIENS to my orginal ALIEN, and the description sticks - Those Dark Places was more about the single stories and events that happen to starship crews - much ike ALIEN, the film that inspired it - and Pressure is more akin to ALIENS; you have the firepower but the danger is still very real.

    That finally led to bigger and better things. Other publishers and game lines, then Those Dark Places and Pressure, and a goal I never thought I'd reach; I wrote for the ALIEN RPG, my favourite movie and my favourite hobby. But I hadn't written fiction, I'd written games. So I took another... -->

    That movie they made of Dark Places was so bad, I remain very confused as to why they cast Charlize Theron and Christina Hendricks in those roles. Switch them out, replace with Natasha Lyonne and Merritt Wever, and watch a much better film unfold. It’s been a decade, I’m still mad. The book was fun.

    Dark Places is not a book or movie I would recommend but there is a great moment when they are trying to play “your porn star name is your first pet and the street you grew up on” and someone asked Charlize Theron what street she grew up on and she says Rural Route 2

    Stumbled across a film called Dark Places on London Live. It’s a psychological horror starring Christopher Lee, Joan Collins, Robert Hardy and Herbert Lom. But what caught me by surprise was the appearance of John Levene! The film was made in 1973 so he was still in #DoctorWho.

    Barry Curtis' DARK PLACES: THE HAUNTED HOUSE IN FILM bears this observation out, that the rise of the haunted house in gothic lit, then cinema, is a site of guilt trauma & memory arising from a victorian bourgeoisie getting rich of colonialism.
