DarkGame is a 2024 British crime thriller film directed by Howard J Ford and starring Ed Westwick.
A killer live streams his murders on the Dark Web in the form of a twisted game show. [1]
The film is written by Gary Grant and Niall Johnson and directed by Howard J Ford. Tom George is producer for Happy Hour Productions. [2] Ford was shown the script by George and chose to direct the film because he described it as "cool thriller with a character that has the potential to give it a bit of heart, and it was also kind of noirish. I thought I could make something totally different to the other films I've done”. [3]
It is starring Ed Westwick alongside Rose Reynolds, Andrew P Stephen, Natalya Tsvetkova, Lola Wayne, and Rory Alexander as well as Joe Urquhart, Anthony Ofoegbu and Marc Danbury. [4]
Although set in Portland, Oregon, principal photography largely took place in Bristol, England. [5] The film entered post-production in 2022. [2]
The film had a limited theatrical release on 20 February 2024, [6] and had a digital media release on 21 October 2024. [7]
