Dark Places

Dark Places (2015) is a crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, adapted from the Gillian Flynn novel and led by Charlize Theron. Decades earlier, a seven-year-old girl lived through the night her mother and two sisters were slaughtered on their Kansas farm.

Back then, the blame landed on her older brother Ben, convicted largely on what little Libby told the court. Thirty years on she's broke, bitter, and barely functioning. A club of true-crime obsessives offers her cash to dig into the case again, certain Ben took the fall for something he didn't do. Chasing the truth means walking back into her own childhood and questioning whether the memory that put her brother away was ever real.

Theron is surrounded by Christina Hendricks, Chloë Grace Moretz, Nicholas Hoult, and Tye Sheridan in the flashbacks. Director Gilles Paquet-Brenner braids two timelines — Libby's grim present-day hunt and that doomed 1985 day reassembling piece by piece. It's cold, bleak, and offers no easy comfort, made for viewers who like Flynn's sourer mysteries and don't need a clean, hopeful ending. Stream Dark Places (2015) online on iFILM.
