Contra Zoom Pod Episode 277: A24 Retrospective – Dark Places

We continue our series going through the entire catalog of A24’s films. On this episode we are looking at 2015’s ⁠ Dark Places ⁠ directed by Gilles Paquet-Brenner. The film stars Charlize Theron as Libby Day a woman who witnessed her older brother murder her entire family in a satanic ritual as a child, only to now be forced to questioned if that’s what really happened.
