In 1978, in Poland, Edward Srodon (Arkadiusz Jakubik) loses his beloved wife that had a brain hemorrhage and becomes alcoholic. He decides to sell everything, leave the town and begin a new life in another place. His bus breaks on the road, and he walks in the rain until a farm to ask for shelter. Zdzislaw Dziabas (Marian Dziedziel) and his woman, Bozena Dziabasowa (Kinga Preis), welcome Srodon and he drinks with Dziabas, who shows where he manufactures his moonshine. Srodon proposes Dziabas to increase his production of the booze to sell to the soviets and they calculate how much they need to produce. Srodon shows his money and spends the night in the bed of Dziabas' son. During the night, he goes to the toilet and Dziabas and Bozena stab the son in the dark instead of Srodon in a night of murders. In 1982, the prosecutor and a team of police officers reconstitute the night to check what happened in that night.
"Dom zly" (2009), a.k.a "The Dark House", is a weird and bizarre low budget-movie. Indeed, it is one of the worst movies ever made. The screenplay in two periods, 1978 and 1982, does not work well. The locations are awful, with an ugly cast and dirty people that drink all the time. The police officers are alcoholic and most of them corrupt. The movie is totally overrated in IMDb, and I was lured by the title associated to the rating and reviews. My vote is two.
Title (Brazil): Not Available.
