For lovers of fireside fables, no four words are more fearsome than “once upon a time,” a phrase that haunts Neil LaBute’s House of Darkness from the outset, foreshadowing the horrors to come.

They sow seeds of expectation in every audience member who hears them, with the promise of journeys to distant lands guarded by mythical beasts and inhabited with untold horrors. Places where fictions have a pulse, and facts are hard to come by. A realm in which films like House of Darkness revel, where mortality tales and gang rape ghost stories are one in the same.
