First stills for Juraj Herz's next TMA (DARKNESS)

Just a few days ago we gave you a review of the recently R1 released cult classic The Cremator by Juraj Herz who continued to pump out film after that, that is until 1997. His latest will be his first feature since then and it's titled Tma. The story revolves around a man escaping city life for the countryside but can he face his past or the lost girl who shows up? Admittedly the stills don't really show anything but they give me an excuse to share news of the project with you.

Mark, a young man from Prague, decides to quit his hectic and superficial town life and moves to the countryside, to the house where he spent his childhood, but was forced to leave under bizarre circumstances. His intention to start a new life and devote his time to the painting is constantly disturbed by odd events and happenings. A lost girl, tacit apprehensions and uneasiness of the village people, legends about burial place, death of his parents in the past which appears not to have been an accident, his sister locked for many years in a madhouse awake the souvenirs of longtime forgotten shadows of his childhood, nightmares and doubts. During his search he gets deeper into things and is slowly absorbed by the darkness. Will Mark win his search of himself or will he give up to the darkness in this mystical thriller?
