The premise
An evil is unleashed in a small town when a logging company sets up shop in the neighboring woods. Isolated and threatened, a mysterious force hidden within the trees outside the small town of Maiden Woods, strikes fear in the townspeople as Sheriff Paul Shields attempts to overcome the demons of his past while protecting those that he loves.
Horror Vault's take
When a logging operation disturbs the ancient wilderness surrounding the quiet town of Maiden Woods, something terrifying begins emerging from the treeline. Sheriff Paul Shields — already carrying the weight of personal tragedy — must hold his crumbling town together as an unseen predator closes in. Dark Was the Night is a slow-burn creature feature that earns its scares through mounting dread and character rather than cheap thrills.
