Shadows in the Dark: The Val Lewton Legacy

---

THE DARK:

Some travel partner you are.

You're supposed to keep the driver

company, honey.

Okay?

This isn't it.

This is a road and here, look...

...this is a road.

Is that the road we're on, mum?

There won't be any signal out here.

We're not lost.

Sh*t.

We should have stayed

at a hotel in Cardiff.

We wanted to surprise your dad,

didn't we?

Don't you wanna surprise your dad?

Shoot.

We're not lost!

Sweetheart.

Sarah.

Hey.

Sarah, time to go.

Sarah?

Sarah?

Sarah?

Sarah?

Sarah?

Sarah!

Sarah?

- What is it? - Get out!

What is it?

Mum? Mum, stop it!

It's just sheep.

Just some stupid sheep.

I have a brilliant idea.

Why don't we go down and see if we

can find your dad's house.

What do you think?

Are you gonna tell him?

Do you want me to?

No.

Okay.

Where the hell are we?

Wow.

Oh, this is so your father.

Daddy!

Daddy.

Sarah.

Hey... what a surprise.

I wasn't expecting to see you

till tomorrow.

You're not upset we're early?

I'm not upset at all. I'm happy.

Okay.

Hey, why the tears, huh?

I'm just happy to see you.

I'm happy to see you too.

Good.

Top of the morning to you, James.

Hi.

Hi. Hi.

How are you?

Wow, wow, wow, look at this house.

For you.

Oh, thank you very much.

Hmm.

Sarah wanted to get here, so...

We actually arrived last night, but our

car got stuck in the mud down yonder.

I tried to call but there's no signal.

...no signal.

So we had a little sleep over in the car.

Didn't we, baby?

And we had a close encounter

with some sheep.

Sure moved far enough.

Well, far off is the way us weirdos like it.

Dafydd. Would you mind giving us

a hand with Adelle's car later?

No, not at all.

Thanks.

This is Dafydd. He can fix anything.

Hello.

'Dafydd', is that like 'David'?

Exactly like David.

Daf, Dai...

Dave.

- Hey, Dave. - Missus.

Watch these.

Jeez, you're getting big, aren't ya?

How old are ya? Eighteen, nineteen?

Quite a nice little hideaway

you've built for yourself.

Yeah, it's coming along.

Yeah. Well...

Oh, I love this. Look at you painting

and sculpting like crazy.

There's an abattoir on the property.

Which I've turned into my studio.

Really?

What's an abattoir?

A place where they kill animals.

Nice.

By the way, your rooms are upstairs.

Can I go see?

Yeah, sure.

First door on your left.

Okay.

So...

So...

What's wrong with Sarah?

Nothing.

Just a bit of a loner.

Like father like daughter, I guess.

She's fine. We're fine.

We just missed you. I...

...I missed you.

Yeah, this is your room.

That's great.

Why, you've been working a lot.

Look at this.

Yeah. I know. Er...

...it's a bit of a mess.

I'll tell you what, I'll find somewhere

to put the rest of this stuff.

No, no, it's fine. It's fine.

Sarah, where are you?

I'm up here.

Oh, making a mess already?

Wow, look at this place.

What do they open?

I've no idea.

We've found them all over the place,

but they don't seem to fit any of the locks.

This is a funky little room.

Yeah, it's a storage room or something.

What are we gonna store up here?

You, if you're bad.

And we'll only let you out when you

think about what you did, young lady.

You like your room?

- It's got a telescope. - Yeah.

You can watch out for ships in distress.

SOS.

Save our souls.

Elvis... Here, boy.

Elvis!

Sarah.

Sarah, don't get too close to the edge.

Hey.

What'd you find there?

A secret.

A secret?

Looks like someone made off

with the plaque.

Now why would they do that?

Ann... Annwyn.

Not Annwyn... Annwyn.

It's Welsh.

For what?

For the place you go after you die.

Like heaven?

That's right.
