Dark (2026)

In 2025, Vignesh, a graphic designer, moves into a low-rent house owned by Karunakaran. The house has a ominous reputation: in 2021, three previous tenants died in a murder–suicide by fire. Dismissing the rumours, Vignesh settles in, but soon experiences chilling supernatural disturbances, including strange sounds and momentary dark apparitions.

As he works from home, the haunting escalates. A book and a pan move on their own, and the television mysteriously turns on even after being unplugged. Panicked, Vignesh buries the haunted items outside, only for them to reappear inside his room. A terrifying unseen force touches him from behind, confirming his worst fears.

Driven out by the phenomena, Vignesh temporarily sleeps elsewhere. Unaware of the danger, his mother visits, gets a spare key from the owner’s daughter, Priyadarshini, and is terrorised by the house's entities. Later, Vignesh meets Priyadarshini, who claims her father ignores her because the 2021 murder–suicide was triggered when she rejected the advances of one of the dead tenants.

Dismissed by a doctor as hallucinating from sleeping pills, Vignesh challenges the entity. He becomes briefly possessed and paints a demonic mural on the wall. Karunakaran stays overnight to support him, but the paranormal activity strikes again, momentarily possessing the owner. Confronted by the burnt ghosts of the trio, a terrified Vignesh cuts himself with glass just to prove to the spirits that he is still alive.

The timeline shifts to a police investigation led by officer Balachander. Karunakaran has been found dead, and a severely traumatised Vignesh is recovering in the hospital. When Balachander visits Vignesh, he is desperately warned to stay away from the haunted house.

Investigating further, Balachander uncovers a dark twist: Priyadarshini actually died by suicide years ago in 2004. She had been betrayed, exploited, and left pregnant by the three men. The 2021 fire was not a random murder–suicide; Priyadarshini's vengeful ghost possessed one of the men to burn the trio alive for their sins.

Confronting the spirit, Balachander is directly warned by Priyadarshini to leave her territory. Realising the immense danger of the case, the officer backs down. Months later, he visits the house one last time, sees Priyadarshini's ghost roaming inside, and walks away without looking back.
