NIGHT 3 | The spectacular creation of two screen geniuses, co-directors Jim Henson and Frank Oz, The Dark Crystal remains one of the most memorable, atmospheric and beautifully crafted fantasy films of the 1980s.
Widely regarded as one of the great fantasy films of all time, The Dark Crystal follows Jen, a young Gelfling who is forced to leave his home and embark on an epic quest to find a missing shard of the Dark Crystal. This powerful fragment holds the key to restoring balance to the universe. But time is running out: the grotesque, power-hungry Skeksis are intent on exploiting the Crystal’s dark power and plunging the world into an age of evil.
Stunning to behold and almost baffling in its level of technical achievement, The Dark Crystal is an endlessly enchanting experience. A visual feast rooted in mythology, folklore and the darker corners of fairy tales, it features an unforgettable cast of characters, extraordinary creature performances and iconic production design. A true VHS-era classic, it has since spawned a lavish 100 million dollar Netflix prequel series inspiring a as well as an ever growing, fiercely devoted, worldwide following enthralled by its ground breaking craftsmanship and utterly original vision.
