The Darkside Trailer (2013)

Trailer for the documentary The Darkside.

After Australian filmmaker Warwick Thornton set up an appeal for people to tell him their own personal ghost stories, he was met with an enthusiastic response. Both whites and Aborigines told him of their encounters with the other side. Spirits, the undead and out-of-body experiences are nothing new in film history. Yet the way Thornton treats these stories is far from the standard genre approach. He restages selected interviews using actors placed at carefully chosen locations, finding an appropriate form for each story.
