A Dark Song is a 2016 Irish independent horror film, written and directed by Liam Gavin and starring Steve Oram and Catherine Walker.It tells the story of Sophia (Walker), an Englishwoman tormented by the untimely death of her child, who rents a remote house in Wales and hires the services of the occultist Joseph Solomon (Oram) to perform a long, complicated and dangerous ritual to summon her guardian angel. If done successfully, she’ll get to right a terrible wrong from her past, but if the ritual is not perfect, they will be endangered by demons.For all intents and purposes, it is Summoning Ritual The Movie. | |

| A Dark Song / int_4977559e | comment |
Our Angels Are Different: The angel manifests as a beautiful human-shaped being back-lit by glowing white light, but it is so massive that it has to stay bent forward with one knee to the floor and its head still reaches the ceiling. | |

Foreshadowing: Sophia lying about her fluency in German results in Solomon getting a small cut on the palm of his hand. Her lying about why she wanted to do the ritual got him stabbed in the stomach. | |
