Following a traumatic incident, Lara joins her childhood friend for a relaxing weekend in an isolated resort. This idyllic retreat turns out to be a trap to silence Lara against her will. She will have to find her inner strength and fight her way through her friends to stay alive. “It Gets Darker” is a horror-comedy that pays homage to the iconic horror classics of the nineties with a unique, contemporary approach to normalized violence and savior narratives.
"It Gets Darker" by Firas Abou Fakher & Daniel Habib

More About "It Gets Darker":
Lara has not been herself lately, she has no appetite and spends most of her time in her room, alone. Her father, Marwan, is unsure how to navigate his daughter’s situation, they have not connected well since Lara’s mother passed away. But when Vanessa, Lara’s childhood best friend, pushes her to join in a relaxing weekend in an isolated resort, and leverages Marwan’s worry, Lara is forced to agree. Lara and Vanessa make their way to George’s resort: a failed cabin retreat on the remote borders of the country. There is nothing around for miles. While the trio catch up on recent lives, George lets a crucial piece of information slip: they are expecting someone else. Lara realises this too late as she finds herself face to face with Amir. We quickly realise that this entire retreat was planned to convince Lara to come and to silence her. Amir knows that Lara is going to talk to the police about a traumatic incident that occurred between them, and both he and Vanessa are determined to keep Lara silent. Their plans turn sour when Amir thinks he mistakenly kills Lara in a heated confrontation in private. When Lara wakes up, she has to find her inner strength to overcome her fears and make it out alive.
