Alone In The Dark (1982)


-------------------------------------------------------
# Synopsis
-------------------------------------------------------

When the lights go out, the terror begins.

At a secluded mental institution, Dr. Bain (Halloween's Donald Pleasence) maintains order while
electricity fuels the asylum's hi-tech security system that keeps the nearby neighborhoods safe from
menaces like Frank Hawkes (Academy Award©-winner Jack Palance, City Slickers) and "Preacher"
(Academy Award winner Martin Landau, Ed Wood). Meanwhile a new doctor, Dan Potter (The A-Team's
Dwight Schultz), arrives in town with his family, but the inmates don't take kindly to his presence and
believe he has killed off their former therapist. Suddenly a power outage leaves the town in chaos...and
now the maniacs are free to roam the streets and hunt down the man they believe has invaded their
lives. With the area quickly descending into riots and chaos, the innocent few must fight for their lives
when they're left terrified, cornered and Alone in the Dark! One of the most memorable and terrifying cult
horror films of the 1980s, this white-knuckle shocker from director Jack Sholder (The Hidden) features
shocking special effects from Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead, Friday the 13th), delivering one
seat-jumping scare after another along with a thick vein of sly, pitch-black humor. Turn off the lights and
watch...if you dare!
