DARK SOULS is a dark and dingy slice of Norwegian horror, made on a tiny budget. The story is about characters who go missing only to reappear somehow different. It's a story that flirts with tropes from the zombie genre but which plays out as a slow-moving police procedural for the most part. There's a lot of low key investigation, a lot of wandering around in poorly-lit locations, and more plot than expected for such a low budget feature. I found the horror content too self-limiting and the film to be lacking the requisite power needed to make it work.
