Darker Than Night (Spanish; Castilian: Más Negro que la Noche) is a 2014 Mexican horror film and a remake of the 1975 original. The movie is the first 3D Mexican horror film and it tells the story of an eccentric old woman who dies and leaves her opulent mansion to her niece, Greta.
Greta is a beautiful young woman whose eccentric aunt dies leaving her a large, once opulent mansion. When Greta moves in with her friends she discovers that she must take care of her aunt’s prized black cat, Beker. The new residents take charge of the mansion, throwing wild parties and enjoying a fun filled summer until they lose track of Beker – who drowns in the mansion’s pool. What was about to be the best summer of their lives quickly turns into a spine-chilling fight for their lives.
