The more responsible of the pair, Jane, feels guilty about leaving, and decides to return to the infamous stretch of road where she left her friend. When she gets there, she finds her friend is missing and begins a tour of the surrounding area, questioning those she encounters about her friend. However, as time passes and there is no trace of her friend, Jane imagines the worst, and fears that the next person she encounters could be her friend's killer. Atmospheric, suspenseful, and shocking, AND SOON THE DARKNESS is a gripping thriller. [More]

Some downplay the effectiveness of this film because of its slow pace. I find it only adds to the tension.
