The premise
A man struggles with memories of his past, including a wife he cannot remember, in a nightmarish world with no sun and run by beings with telekinetic powers who seek the souls of humans.
Horror Vault's take
A man wakes in a perpetually sunless city with no memory of who he is, wanted for murders he may not have committed. The metropolis around him is stranger than it first appears — reshaped each night by unseen forces with terrifying power over both matter and mind. As he races to piece together fragments of a life that may never have been real, the line between self and fabrication dissolves into something far more sinister. Dark City is a visually hypnotic descent into a world where identity itself is the ultimate weapon.
