You Don’t Belong Here

Sitting in the Dark

The world is a beautiful place—stunning vistas, the highest mountains, and most expansive rivers. But what happens when we, puny humans, decide to make our pastime of exploring these natural wonders too aggressively? The environment gets aggressive back.

This month on Sitting in the Dark, we present a set of films where our characters explore these extreme environments only to discover their inhospitable realities. From the deepest of caves to the highest of… television towers… we explore a set of films in which the environment itself brings fear before any cinematic horrors make an appearance.
