Synopsis
The Darkest Hour (2011) is a sci-fi thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Chris Gorak. Five young people are in Moscow for the holidays when an alien invasion begins — not with spaceships, but with a silent wave that takes out every power grid on the planet. The attackers are invisible. They feed on electricity.
Emile Hirsch and Joel Kinnaman lead a small group of survivors trying to cross an emptied Moscow and reach an extraction point. Olivia Thirlby and Rachel Taylor co-star. Shot almost entirely on location in Russia, the film is one of a handful of Hollywood productions filmed in Moscow itself — Red Square, the metro, residential streets.
Gorak leans into the disorienting premise: the enemy that can't be seen, heard, or anticipated turns every familiar corner of the city into a threat. Stream The Darkest Hour (2011) online on iFILM.
