Charlize Theron Solving A Horrific Mystery in ‘Dark Places’
Charlize Theron is looking for a killer who has plagued her for
most of her life in the newly mystery thriller, ‘Dark Places’. The story is based on ‘Gone Girl‘ author Gillian Flynn’s worldwide best-selling novel,
which has been on the NY Times best-seller list for over two years.
Libby Day (Charlize Theron) was only seven years old when
her mother and two sisters were brutally murdered in their rural Kansas
farmhouse. In court, the traumatized child pointed the finger at her brother,
Ben (Tye Sheridan), and her testimony put the troubled 16-year-old in prison
for life. Twenty-five years later, a broke and desperate Libby has run through
donations from a sympathetic public and royalties from her sensational
autobiography, without ever moving past the events of that night.
When Libby accepts a fee to appear at a gathering of
true-crime aficionados led by Lyle Wirth (Nicholas Hoult), she is shocked to
learn most of them believe Ben is innocent and the real killer is still at
large. In need of money, she reluctantly agrees to help them reexamine the
crime by revisiting the worst moments of her life. But as Libby and Lyle dig
deeper into the circumstances surrounding the murders, her recollections start
to unravel and she is forced to question exactly what she saw – or didn’t see.
As long-buried memories resurface, Libby begins to confront the wrenching
truths that led up to that horrific night.
Also stars Nicholas
Hoult, Corey Stoll, Christina Hendricks, Chloë Grace Moretz and Tye Sheridan.
“DARK PLACES” is released and distributed by CAPTVE CINEMA.
