Janet's other sister is missing, and we find out has been murdered by someone who likes to take photos of his victims. Suspicion falls on her sister’s boyfriend who lives down by the river and had met her sister while working for her family, though this is one of a couple of red herrings to put you off who the real killer is.
Eventually the killer gets his eyes on Jane and the rest of her family and starts killing and trying to kill them all off one by one. This all leads to Janet finding who the killer is and some secrets about her family she did not know.
Darkroom is an ok film, not great but watchable if a bit predictable near the end and I thought it was obvious halfway though who the killer was! While a late slasher, it at times does feel a bit like a giallo but only just!
I think the movie went out on the strength of the it being a Nico Mastrakis production, Nico having directed the video nasty Island of Death. That saying I have only seen Zero Boys, along with Island of Death by him, but this film doesn't hold up to them bar maybe have a similar subplot of incest like in Island...
While it is definitely a run of the mill slasher, it's worth a watch, mean it doesn't bring anything new to the table, but it may bring joy to some slasher fans!
