Watch A Girl Disintegrate Before Your Very Eyes In ‘The Darkest Hour’ Motion Poster
Probably the most intriguing aspect of theTimur Bekmambetov-produced alien invasion flickThe Darkest Houris the film’s unique take on aliens. Unlike your typical movie ET, these otherwordly baddies take the form of “lethal wave energy” that renders them invisible, and therefore extra dangerous, most of the time. And when they do catch up with their prey, their unusual makeup also allows them to kill off the human protagonists in creative and nifty-looking ways. These aliens aren’t content to just maim or kill — any creature with the misfortune to fall into their path disintegrates completely.
Sound cool? The marketing team behind the movie thinks so, too, as indicated by their choice to feature an alien attack as the focus of the motion poster.

Plot-wise,The Darkest Hourdoesn’t sound like anything special. But as with all of the other video and images we’ve seen, the poster seems to promise that regardless of whether the story or characters are any good, we can at least expect the special effects to look cool. Which is more than you can say for a lot of sci-fi actioners, really. Gorak has already demonstrated his knack for eye-popping visuals as the art director forFight ClubandMinority Report, and it appears he’ll be bringing those same talents to the director’s chair.
