Verdict on Dark Feathers
Dark Feathers is a mystery thriller following a mysterious woman with a reputation of having death follow her. She joins a dance class creating a problem between a married couple, while her past reveals a deeper meaning to her being around everyone else.
This movie takes us into a world where ancient cults meet modern society. It follows one woman navigating both and finding her ability to connect taking over her world. This felt a lot harder to understand, as it wants to be part romantic thriller, and part secret society thriller and never ends up finding enough ground to stand up as either.
Where to Watch
Dark Feathers is set for its UK digital debut on 4 November from Miracle Media.
Final Thoughts –Dark Feathers ends up being more complicated than it needs to be.
