Park ranger Angelica seeks the help of her dog handler ex-boyfriend, Viktor, to search for a missing woman in a dangerous nature reserve in Sweden. The search is complicated by a disturbing myth about the Cave Banshee, a vengeful spirit from the Nordic folklore that once lured miners to their deaths in the reserve's treacherous caves. As they delve deeper into the forest, Viktor starts to question his own sanity and whether the rumored Banshee is more than just a myth. To make matters worse, Angelica and Viktor share a painful history with the haunted place. Viktor must now confront his troubled past and work together with Angelica to survive the night and unravel the mystery behind the woman's disappearance.

From Darkness could have been worthwhile but as it stands, its just mediocre.
Perhaps its biggest shortcoming is its lack of true direction. Its story moves its focus in a way that robs it of tension and a clearly articulated, meaning. What remains isn't terribly engaging or even all that frightening.
Its a shame too, as the core premise has real scare potential. Moreover, its production values are reasonable, as are the performances, from the cast.
In summary, a horror film that could have been quite good had it had a simpler, more direct focus that built towards something worthwhile in terms of storytelling and associated scares. As it stands, From Darkness is not awful but its hardly memorable, either.
