The Secret Society That Studies Humanity While It Sleeps in Alex Proyas’s “Dark City”


The movie Dark City imagines a spooky nocturnal world existing beneath the one we know.

This post is part of The Secret Places and Trippy Houses Blogathon, a blog event devoted to “the movies and TV shows over the years that have used secret places in their plots.” At the end, I’ll tell you where to find more posts like these.

Music video director Alex Proyas followed his 1994 movie The Crow with another moody, atmospheric film which treaded the more sinister territories of fantasy and sci-fi, in 1998. Dark City was not as big a hit, but time has treated it well.

It’s about beings who experiment on humans in a hidden underworld.
