Darkness Falls is a 2020 crime thriller film directed by Julien Seri [fr], starring Shawn Ashmore, Gary Cole and Daniella Alonso.

After his wife's (Vahina Giocante) apparent suicide, Detective Jeff Anderson (Shawn Ashmore) becomes convinced that she has been murdered and sets out to stop the killer(s).

Obsessed with his investigation, he soon discovers that the serial killers are father-son team Mark and Adam Witver (Gary Cole and Richard Harmon).

Anton Bitel of SciFiNow wrote that while the film "comes very slickly packaged", the dialogue is "perfunctory at best", the "cat-and-mouse, cop vs killer mechanics are entirely generic" and the female characters are "mere foils for Jeff".

[1] Jeffrey Anderson of Common Sense Media rated the film 1 star out of 5 and wrote that Seri "has delivered a good-looking Los Angeles noir that quickly becomes nearly unwatchable, thanks to wonky dialogue, shrill performances, a flat story, and overbearing music.
