Dark Places (2015)
Dark Places (2015) is an American mystery film written and directed by Gilles Paquet-Brenner, based on Gillian Flynn’s 2009 novel of the same name. It tells the story of 8-year old Libby Day, who was the lone survivor of her family’s brutal murder in rural Kinnakee, Kansas in 1985. When questioned by the police, Libby blames her teenage brother, Ben, for the crime. Now an adult struggling financially due to a decrease in donations from strangers who once sympathized with ‘the little girl on the news’, Libby is approached by Lyle Wirth to speak at his ‘True Crime’ club for $700. Meanwhile, prior to the murders, Ben’s relationship with their mother Patty and older sister Michelle is fraught with tension as they tease him about being a loner while he sports dyed black hair at the breakfast table.
Ben spends time with Trey Teepano, a bookie who follows the beliefs of Satanism. At the same time, their mother Patty receives news that her farm is facing foreclosure despite her efforts to prevent it. Currently, most members of Wirth’s club believe Ben is not guilty as he was only convicted based on Libby’s testimony. Although she still holds onto the belief that Ben is responsible for their family’s deaths, Libby agrees to assist the club in exchange for much-needed funds. Encouraged by Wirth to visit Ben in prison, Libby’s curiosity about his motives for committing the murders drives her to continue researching the case. In 1985, Ben makes plans to elope with his pregnant girlfriend Diondra while also facing accusations from young girls claiming he molested them.
