In Jeff Burr's genre-blending, war- themed horror film, two American soldiers harrowingly escape captivity and death, only to discover that in war, there is no limit to the bizarre and gut-wrenching terror that can be wrought.

The action takes place after the Battle of the Bulge near the end of World War II in a place of would-be refuge that becomes a living nightmare.

Jeff Burr has been making movies since he first learned to shoot with an 8mm camera as a child. He sharpened his craft as a director of horror sequels in the Texas Chainsaw, Puppet Master and Stepfather series.

'Darkness' is Burr's successful foray into the realm of indie films with a singular vision, placing him among directors like Robert Rodriquez and Guillermo del Toro.

Locations in Romania provide perfect scenery for the haunting cinematography of Burr's DP, Viorel Gergevicj.

Straight Into Darkness has garnered universal praise and must-see acclaim since its award winning release on the film festival circuit in 2004.
