“When Darkness Loves Us,” a horror film starring “Game of Thrones” actor Emilia Clarke, has landed at Bleecker Street. It will be released in theaters at some point in 2027. 

James Ashcroft wrote and directed the film, which was adapted from Elizabeth Engstrom’s 1980s novella of the same name. The story follows a young woman (Clarke) who, after surviving 15 years trapped in an underground cave system, returns to the surface to reclaim the family she believes is hers, “no matter the monstrous cost,” per the logline.
