PlotLibby Day is the sole survivor of a massacre that took the lives of her mother and two sisters when she was just eight years old. The gruesome event took place on her family’s Kansas farm, and Libby testified that her teenage brother, Ben, was the murderer. Thirty years later, Libby is still haunted by the tragedy, living a reclusive life and scraping by on the last remnants of a true crime fund. Her life takes a turn when she is contacted by Lyle Wirth, the leader of a secret club obsessed with investigating unsolved crimes. Desperate for money, Libby agrees to revisit the case, hoping to uncover details she might have overlooked.
As Libby dives back into her painful past, she begins to question her initial testimony and the evidence against Ben. She encounters people from her past, each with their own dark secrets and perspectives that force her to re-evaluate what she thought she knew. Through meticulous re-examination of the events and new disturbing clues, Libby slowly peels back the layers of deception.

Dark Places
Blu-ray Review
Score: 56
Blu-ray offers strong video and audio, but 'Dark Places' lacks the suspense and coherence of 'Gone Girl,' despite a valiant effort from Theron.
