The Dark Place is a 2014 mystery-thriller film written and directed by Jody Wheeler. It stars Blaise Embry, Timo Descamps, Sean Paul Lockhart and Eduardo Rioseco.
Keegan Dark (Blaise Embry), the protagonist, has a condition called hyperthymesia, a condition that makes a person remember almost every single moment of their life. Keegan Dark and his boyfriend (Timo Descamps) arrive at the mansion of Keegan's estranged mother Mrs. Celeste Dark (Shannon Day) where not only is he constantly being haunted by his past, but also discovers a plot that puts his life and lives of his loved ones in danger. Along the way we meet Keegan's new step-father and step-brother (Andy Copeland and Sean Paul Lockhart) and his ex-boyfriend/Mrs. Dark's lawyer, Ernesto (Eduardo Rioseco).
It is produced by J.T. Tepnapa and Carlos Pedraza. It was produced by Blue Seraph Productions.
The film was shot in Hillsboro and Portland, Oregon, USA.[1]
Ed Kennedy from The Backlot said, "Refreshing... a real thriller with a beautiful setting, georgeous actors with complicated relationships".[2] Timothy Junes of the Zizo Online commented, "'The Dark Place' is neither a masterpiece nor a monster of a film. It's refreshing to see where homosexuality is a given and no theme in itself. Entertaining".[3]
